Afternoon talker: Which team do you believe in more at this point -- Gophers or Vikings?

Good times.

September 26, 2012 at 8:03PM

Hopefully, almost all of us can agree on this: the Gophers and Vikings have performed, overall, better than expected in the early part of the season.

The question we can't quite get our arms around: Which team do you believe in more at this point -- the 4-0 Gophers or the 2-1 Vikings?

Phrased another way: Which of these things would surprise you less at this point: The Gophers going 8-4 or the Vikings going 9-7, both of which would exceed most realistic pre-season expectations by at least a game or two?

Have at it in the comments.
