My Best Game Prediction for the 2013 Vikings Season

Okay, we all knew that blog post was coming! I want to share with my blog readers what I think will be the best game of the Vikings season. Aaaaand I pick: Vikings Packers first game of the season. Sunday, October 27th at 7:30 at the Mall of America Field at Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis Minnesota.

You shake your heads, but in reality, you all know this will be the most exciting game for Vikings fans in Minnesota. Need tickets for this great game? Check it out here.

Jared Allen and his Shoulder Surgery

Jared Allen is recovering from off-season shoulder surgery, but he should be ready for the Minnesota Vikings training camp at the end of July. This will be Jared Allen's 10th career training camp. And even though Jared Allen is a Vikings veteran, he recorded 12 sacks last season. This is quite lower than the 22 sacks he recorded in 2011, but these 12 sacks still make him one of the most effective pass rushers in the NFL. He is ranked 8th in the NFL.

Another piece of news is that Jared Allen will, sadly, become an unrestricted free agent if he is not signed to a new contract before the 2014 off-season. So, how he performs in the 2013 season will be a huge factor in how much money he will make and how long he will keep playing football. So step it up, Jared Allen. Play through your shoulder pains if you want to keep player football. And we want you to!

It's great that Jared Allen is known as being consistent. This is great because he has missed just three games in his career, all during his first four years in the NFL. He has recorded at least 11 sacks in seven out of nine years in the league, and in each of his last six seasons! Keep checking back to our Viking's Vixen blog and get all the updates you need on Jared Allen and the rest of the Vikings!

Best Looking Vikings Player: Christian Ponder

The verdict is in, folks! The best looking Vikings player is number 7, Christian Ponder. I may or may not have shed a tear in 2012 when he married his wife, Samantha Steele, now Samantha Ponder. She is a sideline reporter and the two met on the set of "College GameDay." Now they are happily married, but that won't stop me from looking! I added two of my favorite hot Christian Ponder pictures at the end of this blog post, you're welcome!

Happy Fourth of July, Vikings fans!

Happy Fourth of July to all my favorite Vikings fans! Everyone at Vikings Football Home Blogspot wishes you the best holiday ever! Enjoy the time with your family and friends. What are my Vikings fans doing to celebrate our independence? Spending time at the lake? Fishing? Golfing? Going on a big trip?  Spend some time being grateful for your family and your American life. We will see you soon for some more American activities - Vikings football!
