Before I forget again, here are my 2021 NFL predictions… Apparently this is the first time since 2017 I have done one! As a 50/50 Vikings and Chargers fan, it has been a tough go as a fan since I first started following football in 1993. The Chargers made the Super Bowl in 1994/95, and that’s been it. Two teams with more ineptly parallel paths I could not have chosen. Once again, they seem pretty similar in that they are both Wild Card hopefuls who, thanks to the seventh playoff team per conference, could slip in. I’ll guess a 10-7 record for each, and a singular playoff win for each. The two teams also play each other in LA this year, a game I in theory would like to attend, but then again I think I would want my first Chargers home game to be one where I root strictly for them and not divided.
