Seriously why did so many take Minny

Obviously I'm a Brett Favre homer but I'm wondering with the recent Viking struggles why so many other people took Minny in the Super Bowl predictions. Being the Favre hater that he is I am especially intrigued about Rock's prognostication.

I didn't say Favre wasn't good I just said he wasn't great and either can't spell his last name right or he mispronounces it. They'll get there I just hope Favre ruptures his scrotum on the first offensive series. Unless it is Indy...I hate Peyton Manning more.
