Some of my 2016 NFL predictions are looking smarter than others as Week 7 nears its close. A deep dive into five of my best ones -- and five not-so-great ones -- provides a few lessons for the future.Five preseason predictions still looking goodThe Vikings are the most underrated teamMinnesota entered the season loaded on defense. Coach Mike Zimmer seemed to have instilled a hard-nosed edge in his team, and I thought the offense would do enough with Adrian Peterson taking pressure off a generally efficient Sam Bradford. The Vikings ability to keep winning after losing Peterson made the underrated label seem every smarter, but the fast start has also pumped up expectations. Minnesota might now be one of the more overrated teams, as a result.Personnel evaluators I spoke with heading into Week 7 expected a course correction, even though most gave Minnesota a good shot to win at Philly.The Vikings offensive line is just in shambles, one evaluator said before the Eagles pressured Bradford on 36 percent of his dropbacks, handing the Vikings their first loss of the season. I think it is just a matter of time before things fall apart, just because of the offensive line, and then we know the quarterbacks track record, and its probably only a matter of time before he gets hurt too.

The 28-year-old from Calgary matched his career best after missing just one shot in his two rounds of shooting in the mens 10-kilometre sprint competition. Smith finished in 23 minutes 15. PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- The Players Championship already provides plenty of theatre because of its thrill-a-minute golf course. Making it even more compelling is the star attraction of Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods, playing in the final group on the weekend for the first time in nearly seven years. Garcia made seven straight putts -- six of them for birdie -- on his way to a 7-under 65 to match his best score on the TPC Sawgrass. That gave him a one-shot lead over Woods, who again made short work of the par 5s and posted his second straight 67. Woods broke his own 36-hole record at Sawgrass by six shots and cant find much wrong with his game at the moment. Its hard to call it a rivalry because its so one-sided. Not only does Woods have a 77-8 margin in PGA Tour victories (and 14-0 in the majors), in the previous five times they were in the final group on the weekend on the PGA Tour, Woods has gone on to win all five times. Asked about the possibility of playing with Woods on Saturday, Garcia said he wouldnt see it as anything but another round of golf. "I dont have to measure myself against anybody," Garcia said. "I know what I want to try to do, and any given day I can shoot a round like this and any other day he can shoot a good round and beat me. Like we always say, its not a sprint, its a marathon. So there are going to be good days and not so good days, so just got to enjoy the good ones as much as possible." This was a good day. Garcia ran off five straight birdies, ending the streak with putts from 20 feet and 25 feet, and then he added a 40-foot birdie putt on the par-3 eighth. Garcia, who won The Players in 2008, was at 11-under 133. Woods looks like hes having a good time on the course that has vexed him more than any other on the PGA Tour, and he could be the greater threat on the weekend. He now is 8-under on the par 5s this week, including a 20-foot eagle putt on No. 2 that gave him a share of lead. Woods took the outright lead with a short birdie putt on No. 4 until Garcia blazed by him with his string of birdies. Woods was asked if there was any part of his game that made him unhappy. "No, Im pretty pleased with where its at right now," Woods replied. The reporter looked at him, waiting for more. Woods looked back and finally added with a grin, "Did I answer that?" Woods and Garcia have played together on big stages -- Bethpage Black, Royal Liverpool -- with a big edge for Woods. They first were linked when the Spaniard was 19 and gave Woods all he could handle at Medinah in the 1999 PGA Championship. They were paired in the final round of the 2002 U.S. Open and 2006 British Open, the year Garcia dressed all in yellow. But with the tournament only halfway over, this is far more than a duel between Woods and Garcia. The 18 players within five shots of the lead include three current major champions -- Adam Scott, Webb Simpson and Rory McIlroy -- along with Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson, Steve Stricker, Hunter Mahan and Zach Johnson. Westwood chipped in from 100 feet for eagle on the 11th hole and was atop the leaderboard unttil making pars on his last eight holes.dddddddddddd He had a 66 and was two shots behind, along with Kevin Chappell (66) and Stenson, who had two eagles on the front nine in his round of 67. Ryan Palmer, who learned Thursday night that one of his best friends died in a car accident in San Antonio, had two eagles in a round of 69 and was three shots behind. Defending champion Matt Kuchar birdied three of his last four holes for a 66 and was at 7-under 137, along with Scott, Mahan and Johnson. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., followed his opening round 71 with a 70, and remains eight shots off the pace at 3-under 141. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., bettered his opening round with a 71, and is 10 back. McIlroy was coming off back-to-back bogeys when he chose to go for the green in two at the par-5 ninth -- he had planned to lay up each day. He hit the trees and got into a mess, and McIlroy made his third straight bogey. He rallied on the back for a 72 and was in the group at 6-under 138. "Ive made the cut, which Im delighted about," said McIlroy, who had missed the weekend his three previous times. "But I am in there with a chance." Woods won The Players in 2001, highlighted by that 60-foot putt on the island green described by NBC Sports analyst Gary Koch as "better than most." But he has only seriously contended twice, and he has failed to crack the top 20 eight times in 15 appearances. Woods is accentuating only the positive. "Even though I havent played well in the past, Ive still won here," he said. "Actually, Ive won here twice, technically." He was referring to the U.S. Amateur in 1994, the first of his three straight titles. "I havent played my best here, but Ive always felt that courses, even though its been a while Ive won on them, Ive still won on them," Woods said. "I know how to get around this golf course. This course, more than most, really tests every facet of your game. You have to drive the ball well. You have to hit your irons in the correct spots, and if you dont hit your irons in the correct spots, youre going to have some really funky up-and-downs. "Its trying to manage the ball in the correct spots, and Ive done that the first two days." Woods twice made bogey, both times missing the fairway to the right on No. 14 and No. 7. He finished with a 20-foot birdie putt. Garcia, for two hours, looked like he couldnt miss. His streak began with a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-5 second. He stuffed his tee shot into 6 feet on the third, and hit wedge to 8 feet on the fourth. He followed that with his two long birdie putts, made a putt just inside 15 feet for par on the seventh and ended his big run with the 40-footer on No. 8. Garcia also is a past champion, winning a playoff in 2008. "Fortunately for me, Ive managed to play quite decent on this golf course," Garcia said. "So any good thing that you can get in your head, its obviously positive and those kind of things always help. But its a different year. Well see if we can manage to do something similar."
