Many of you may not visit fivethirtyeight.com, but they have a Viking fan on their staff.  I am guessing many of you may feel how she feels (she is always afraid of saying something positive about the Vikings because it will jinx them):

sara.ziegler: Well, despite that first half, they seem to be in good shape now, with a 91 percent chance of making the playoffs, according to our model.
neil: Have you finally accepted that they are a contender?
sara.ziegler: Of course, the moment I believe in them, they will completely fall apart.
neil: Oh LOL.
sara.ziegler: No
joshua.hermsmeyer: Amazing
sara.ziegler: Well, sort of.
Salfino: Careful, Sara.
sara.ziegler: Contender for the playoffs? Sure.
Contender to win it all? LOL, of course not.
