    Haven't seen one expert pick Vikings to win

    Crazy... 5-6 point home dog in 0 degree weather. Not one picks Vikings so far

    Because the Vikes have no chance according to SBR. I mean, all road faves roll, especially in the playoffs. Who needs teaser protection? Vefas has no fukkin' clue! Seahawks are a mortal

    Kind of reminds me of the Giants.. No one gave them a shot in any game and we all know how that turned out.

    Here you go why...Seattle is 3 to 1 to win nfc championship and minny is 15 to 1..5dimes. When your a road team in a playoff game vs a division winner who won 10 games it's telling you Seattle should win this by 7 plus points. If Seattle were division winner and minn wildcard on road Seattle would be 9 pt fav. Yes you have to play the game and outcomes are unknown. Many feel sea is just as good as a 15 n 1 carolina tesm..but carolina has home field.

    Such long odds on all 4 home teams to win Super Bowl. Makes you scratch your head a little.

    Houston +9000
    Washington +7000
    Minnesota +4100
    Cincinnati +2700

    What's the deal with this?? All 4 Home teams opening round.

    Don't think I've ever seen this before.

    Dont think so. One more shot to the back may do him in for the season.

    Vikings advantages

    home field
    special teams
    dline vs sea o-line
    maybe better running game

    that's about it.

    many coaches say Zimmer is the toughest in the league to call offensive plays against...don't know what that amounts to here

    Listen Vikings are a better team this year and are making strides but in this cold weather game everyone is saying won't benifit either team do with that being said
    QB- Wilson
    Defense-SEAHAWKS
    Special teams -SEAHAWKS
    Wide receivers- SEAHAWKS
    Tight ends - Seahawks
    Running back - Minny but lynch is a beast

    Unless we lay a FUKKING egg this game should be easily in Seattles hands

    I agree on the special teams. Tyler Lockett is going to the Pro Bowl as a returner. Cordelle Patterson is good, but the Hawks won't get burned by him again.

    Also, Teddy Bridgewater has smaller hands than the average QB and Wilson has banana hands. Bridgewater will throw a pick or fumble.

    This is exactly why the NFL is a difficult nut to crack and do more than chop 50-50 on the point spread. You guys are trying to make rational choices, logical assumptions, assuming you are smarter than the linesmakers - know more than they do about the game!

    It is incredibly difficult to make rational decisions about an irrational event! The playoffs are not the same thing as the regular season. This is a one and done - band of brothers against the world mentality,now.

    So, the linesmakers have it lined a 5. Shouldn't it be at least 7? What does that say? Does it say - bookies are afraid of smart money at + 7? It is almost like they want to bet with the squares - bring it on - gamble with every square in the Universe with the books holding Vikings +5!

    Seattle hasn't allowed a 100 yard rusher in 26 straight games. This is their scheme. Stop the run and make the QB beat you over the top - and have an elite secondary to take advantage.

    You know what usually happens in this situation, especially in the NFL and not to mention this is the home team. Team and the crowd will be fired up. I think Vikings win..

    the cold doesn't matter like it used to
    these pampered primadonnas basically have all the luxuries
    of a 5-star hotel on the sidelines and the latest in thermal

    I have yet to introduce myself (will happen elsewhere) but while I agree with this - hands are not protected. No matter how much you warm them up between plays they will get cold. The ball will be cold and hard as hell. WRs and Qb will have a tough time and cold hands getting hit hard will be an issue.

    I like the under. Not only because of the cold but also because Minnesota doesn't win this in a shootout. So either one-sided Seattle win which favors U or low scoring close game which also favors U.

    That's my first post here. Stayed away from gambling for 2 years but back now since last week in December and staying disciplined this time around.

    Patterson has shown flashes, but he must be a mental midget or something. Letting a grey haired kicker strip the ball?!

    Smitch, that's not even relevant to what is being discussed. What the hell does an AFC championship game from 1981 have anything to do with this game in 2016.

    I really am looking forward to finding out what your thought process was to inform us about the weather situation in 1981 with the chargers and the bengals
