    NFC North will be really competitive going forwards that's for sure. No bad team in it any more. I really don't think we'll be as bad as you say. Vikings will be strong at home (although one less game there with the Jets game in London) but we'll see.

    Doesn’t look too promising for getting a ticket to the London games then

    Falcons were one of the teams I strongly considered when I was picking!

    Ha, we were basically at the same point of the queue. Very few tickets, singles only, for the Jets-Vikings game which is the one I wanted.

    I looked at JAX-CHI but they had the £155 tickets as pairs only and I refuse to pay over £400 after fees to watch the Chicago Bears and the Jags.

    Yeah I gave up earlier. TBH I might have tried harder if it was Vikings-Texans rather than the Jets. Jets aren't very appealing to me.

    I was 240k in the queue, needless to say I didn't have a chance.

    My friend was 90k and managed to get in, but we weren't able to get three tickets together. Still, better than nothing

    There will probably be extra tickets released later on. That's how I got tickets last time the Vikings were here.

    There's a good ticket exchange group on Facebook where you can get tickets at face value. I got tickets to the Panthers v buccaneers when they played here many years ago. It's first come first serve, so it's tough but it's doable

    Vikings 4th round pick Khyree Jackson, and two of his former high school team mates, have died in a car crash.

    Sounds like their car was hit by a drunk driver, drunk driver survived

    McCarthy gets a run out in the second half so will be interesting to see how he gets on.

    Defence looking useless but pre season doesn’t tell you anything, don’t even know why they bother with it tbh

    He is one of the ones I’m interested in seeing in pre season. Must be on the borderline for making the team, has always had the speed but doesn’t seem to be able to figure out how to utilise it. Maybe gets more of a role this year as there isn’t a standout running back on the team

    I have zero interest in American Football, but just finished reading Friday Night Lights, which was great. Have any of you guys read it?
