Some teams are more predictable than others in this market.
The Wild in the latter half of the last decade could be counted on to be good enough to earn a low playoff seed but not good enough to do much damage once they reached the postseason.
The Vikings with Kirk Cousins at QB seem to have an established floor and ceiling that hovers around .500, plus or minus a game or two.
The Timberwolves ... well, the pessimist (and perhaps the realist) would say they are predictable as well. Whatever you think might happen at the start of the season, there will inevitably be a downward adjustment and a season that doesn't work out as hoped.
