What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorWeek seven bold predictions are in from The Big Lead, and the boldest one says the Vikings lose to the Colts on Sunday at one Eastern.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's bold? Minnesota is five and oh. Isn't winning the colorful part?

  3. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, Minnesota's offense ranks thirty-first in total yards, and the Big Lead says that's the first loss of their season. I'm telling you, thirty-first.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThirty-first out of how many?

  5. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThirty-two, Vera. You're basically a coach already.

  6. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Colts are two and three, they lost to a winless Titans team, and they just removed general manager Chris Ballard.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the team with no general manager is the favorite pick. That feels like the part nobody put on the poster.

  8. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat's the best sports point I've heard on this desk.

  9. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe same list has Pittsburgh winning thirty-six to six in the first NFL game in Paris.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThirty-six to six. I assume the Big Lead's note says, bravely predicting that the favorite wins.
