My boss, who is a Vikings fan, and I make a series of $1 football bets before the start of the NFL season. Usually it's just being able to rag on the other guy for a little bit. This year, I decided to immortalize them on the web, and you, dear reader will have the honor of pointing and laughing. Yeah, I don't know why he wanted to bet against Adrian Petersen, but there we are. On the other hand, looking at this, I'm thinking I was kind of stupid to bet the Vikings are going to win 6 games or less. Oh well.

Peterson is due an injury after last season. If that happens, you are OK. I hope he doesn't get injured though
Yeah, not looking so good for my # of Sanchez starts bets, but I can always hope the Vikings implode (too?). It's going to be an interesting year.
