I don't think it will be an easy win between MINN Vikes and NO Saints

[DarkNite]

We will see the action on weekend. I think Vikes can keep it close game, and it might be the last game of Bret so he will do everything to take his team to SB before his retirement. I will wait and see. I think NO is only 0.5 point better than Minny.
Anything can happen in NFL game. Look how the Jets beat SD, it was written in my prediction that it would be the upset, and indeed the Jets beat SD. Look how Caro beat No the week 17.
I am not expert, just learn how to watch NFL games this year.

[BigdaddyQH]

This will certainly be the best game of the two as far as action goes. Both of these teams can score. The game willprobably be decided by the Minny defense. If they pkayed like they did yesterday, youhave to like Farve going to another Superbowl. Just think. There is a real possibility that the Superbowlwill feature the NFL's greatest QB in terms of records against the QB who will probably beat most of those records.

Saints 31
Vikings 17

[twentyonekid]

of course its not going to be an easy game for either of the teams,but brees quick release is going to give the vikings trouble.the saints are now healthy and they have had their talk from payton as far as how much this means to them and the city of new orleans,..bottom line is,the saints now believe more than any part in the season that they are the best team and no one can beat them,..we will see but i think the killer mentality is there and they will win

[msec512]

I'm leaning towards taking the Vikings plus the points. Their defense is much better.

[KungLaoLay5]

Im With the Vikes anything can Happen. Zboi u gay with your Miss Cleo Points Prediction such an Amateur hahaha your points guesting is garbage watch The Vikings DEFENSE GET AFTER DREW BRAWs( . )( . ) LOL......VIKES IS TO HUNGRY FOR THIS. MN STAND UP!!

[Carseller4]

Vikings are lost on the road, and the Saints can score at will!

[ClimbSomeRocks]

Vikings are lost on the road, and the Saints can score at will!

Game is also in the superdome, saints dominate at home

[Sidetracked]

vikings secondary is weak, the reason the vikings handled the cowboys was because the boys couldnt get the running game going....saints dont need to run to be able to pass they could run for 20 yards the entire game and still win the game by 2 + tds

[Sidetracked]

and let us not forget what the cardinals aerial atttack did to the vikings....i see this game being very similar to that

[texashighroller]

Im thinking the vikings will give new orleans a heavy dose of peterson in this game to keep brees on the sideline. Peterson has had to listen to the media talk about favre and brees since sunday night and im betting he will be ready to go off by game time.

[THE PROFIT]

I was one of the few that wasn't drinking the cowgirl Kool-Aid. The saints & vikes are for real. The 3 pt homefield advantage is all NO should be giving here. Any higher than that is just more cash on the ML when Favre wins.

[DarkNite]

Some people said it will be 2td+ difference for NO. We will see.

[pattymayo]

Vikings +4. I can't see how that is not the play right now.

NFL would rather have Favre in the SB anyway. Imagine:
Favre vs Jets: The improbable Jets in the SB seeking revenge against Favre.
Favre vs Colts: Umm the two biggest QBs in the NFL in the SB? Theyd love it

Vikings are so good everywhere. This game should be decided by a FG or less Vikes +4 has to be the play.

[cappersedge]

Correct

[Brocc]

Some tidbits:
Minny 4-4 on the road, with wins vs. Cleveland, St. Louis, Detriot, GB
Farve hasn't won a road playoff in 12 years.
Farve 9 INTs last 3 playoff road games.

[Busterflywheel]

Dark nice write-up..I must say you said it.."Brett will do whatever he has to including audible to pass when Brad wants run if he think it gets him a bowl before retirement..To me Brett has more motivation over Drew simply because his time is near end...While Brees is young in the game..I like Vikings here..With the help of the NFL and their desire to boost ratings they should prevail.

Farve vs Manning

[KyleG44]

Favre has had some bonehead plays in big playoff games before. OT interception against the Giants and the Eagles come to mind. I don't know if I trust him. If they Saints start hot and go up 10-14, the interceptions will shortly follow.

[Gman269]

If any one needs a bigger reason then going to the super bowl to play hard they should be shot. I just dont buy this guy or that guy is more inspired because of this or that. Come on! If they win this game they go to the fukkin show! How would you react to that sheit. Is some one going to play harder then you for any reason! F no! Every guy on the field wants it.
Also I am a little scared that Bret could blow up. When he tries to do to much some times it gets ugly.
Still thinking on this one. GL

[jhack704]

man why cant it be sunday right now, although after the saints win im sure i will be pist, im putting a few hundo on the saints money line!! i hope i lose that bet because i rather have min win but if they dont ill take a few hundred free dollars

[waco66]

i like the vikings chanses

[BigdaddyQH]

Minny is 4-4 on the road, but New Orleans lost their last two game at thome, one to Dallas, the team that Minny just destroyed, and the other to Tampa, when they played no one. So much for those comparisons. Itis rather strange that both teams took a crap against Carolina.

[jhack704]

vs carolina the saints didnt even show up, brees didnt even play so that doesnt even count

[AlphaOmega]

Minn will cover ... their bu holes because the saints are coming in

[DarkNite]

Before Brett came to Minny, I did not know who played there, it was hard to know the name, except AP and defense. Now it looks like many young players have become big star in the team, it means Brett and the coaching staff do a good cooking, some became the good receiver. We will wait and see.
The Saints are really good, but sometimes good team can lose the game as we have seen the last week. Dallas destroyed Philly like hell, then disappeared, Chargers was the hot team then this team was self-destructed, the kicker became the joker, overconfident. Never underestimate the opponent. I was thinking that it would be the big upset, I was right.
We gonna wait and see. I have beer, whiskey and TV, prepare for Sunday. I now see the odds go down a bit. I think it will be FG. As for the Jets and Colts, I will take Jets with points.
Good luck!

Some people said it will be 2td+ difference for NO.

Some people, no. One person and ZBOIZ...he's a Homer and a Bonehead.

[aceking]

New Orleans easy winner .

[Z_Wipf]

I can get saints -2.5 at -160. I think im gonna bet the house on it

[jjgold]

Bret not going anywhere, he is the most money hungry and greedy nfl player of all times. He will play until they carry him off the field.

[THEGREAT30]

Philly and Minn are probably the only 2 teams who have better speed and athletes than N.O. That will come in handy in a doom. If Peterson does not fumble this one away. The Vikes win. No capping just my opinion.

[innovator8520]

i'm on new orleans they are better team.

[pokernut9999]

Some people, no. One person and ZBOIZ...he's a Homer and a Bonehead.
