In their weekly football predictions, Scott Feschuk and Scott Reid<\/a> both pick the Vikings to win:<\/p>\n

\n

Minnesota (plus 3) at Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feschuk:<\/strong> First Wade Phillips is canned. Then Norv Turner\u2019s team starts winning. And this week Brad Childress gets fired. Together, these events represent an unspeakable tragedy for football comedy. What are we supposed to do now? Who among NFL coaches shall become the new target of lazy jokes about vacant stares and gravy sandwiches? The obvious choice is Marv Lewis, whose team quit on him so badly against the Bills that I\u2019m pretty sure his linebacking corps was a trio of avatars being controlled by the ghosts of the Three Stooges. But I\u2019m backing a long shot — I\u2019m putting my money on Mike Shanahan. With Donovan McNabb as his quarterback, with Clinton Portis out for the year, with a defence that ranks among the worst in the NFL, he\u2019s going to have every opportunity to deploy his famed Flaring Nostrils of Dismay. Pick: Minnesota.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reid:<\/strong> Vikes new head coach Leslie Frazier used the word \u2018wholeheartedly\u2019 to describe the way he\u2019ll welcome Brett Favre\u2019s input on the offense. That\u2019s a good word. Another one would \u2018temporarily\u2019 since Favre\u2019s first suggestion was the worst idea he\u2019s had since he mistook his swinging single for postcard material. Favre complained the playbook is too long, too hard to remember and the schemes are too complicated. And remember, this is no dummy talking. He\u2019s the leading passer of all time and a member of the Kodak Picture Maker loyalty program. If he develops more than 50 photos at one time, he gets his doubles for free. Maybe Jenn Sterger has a friend. Pick: Minnesota.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
