Chris Jericho added another line to his resume ahead of the Minnesota Vikings’ game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, this time as a football prognosticator, and he nailed it.
According to Fightful, Jericho was on the sidelines before kickoff, checking in with a prediction that the Vikings would win by at least seven points. Ringside News reported that in a video posted to the Vikings’ Twitter account, Jericho introduced himself as a “roving field side reporter” before delivering his forecast. Wrestling Headlines noted Jericho’s exact phrasing, telling viewers, “If you’re betting, I’m [taking the Vikings by at least seven],” before the two teams took the field.
The final score backed him up, with the Vikings defeating the Buccaneers by the margin Jericho had called. It marked a lighthearted crossover moment for the former AEW World Champion, who has long been vocal about his fandom for Minnesota sports teams away from the wrestling ring.
None of the three outlets reported any further details on Jericho’s sideline appearance beyond the prediction itself and the Vikings’ win.
