**raggman** · 12-14-10, 08:03 PM

beautiful new stadium--should be interesting

**Flight** · 12-14-10, 08:06 PM

I predict Bears -3.5

**Illusion** · 12-14-10, 08:07 PM

The way football should be played. I hope it's 10 below.

**BestPlay2day** · 12-14-10, 08:31 PM

Since TCF Stadium is on campus, they cannot serve alcohol. That should be interesting for the fans who are used to drinking beer at a Vikings game. Also, TCF stadium only holds a little over 50,000 seats so some fans that had tickets at the Dome will be left out in the cold.

**JW Cash** · 12-14-10, 08:37 PM

Just like the old Met Stadium days.......

..when Bud Grant didnt allow heaters on the sidelines during winter.....

Packer fans gonna be screaming bloody murder cause
this will give the Bears a decided advantage coz they
play outdoors...

Thats great coz I hate the Pack

Kiss the divison goodbye cheeseheads.............

**thejrichshow85** · 12-14-10, 08:47 PM

How did the Bears do last weekend outside in the snow?

**Igetp2s** · 12-14-10, 11:05 PM

Still a boring game. Its the teams involved that make a game excitiing, not the location.

**odtw524** · 12-15-10, 12:16 AM

**Checkerboard** · 12-15-10, 12:28 AM

**beerman2619** · 12-15-10, 12:43 AM

you are comparing the vikings to the patriots?

**thejrichshow85** · 12-15-10, 01:06 AM

Nfc North games are never boring

**headhunter34** · 12-15-10, 01:34 AM

hopefully the metrodome will just fall apart and the vikes can get a new stadium so they can play everygame outdoors

**Manaconda** · 12-15-10, 02:13 AM

it would be nice if this game works out well and the vikes could play at the tcf for a year or two and get a real facility built on the metrodome site, but the alcohol sales thing really just makes things worse for one of the lowest grossing teams already

**tony_come** · 12-15-10, 02:50 AM

Cutler's will struggle

I like Vikings

The Patriots are a buzz saw right now and have always been a beast in the snow.

Detroit 7
Green Bay 3

Last week, what a thriller! Matt Flynn, guy's too good

**Ochocinco85mvp** · 12-15-10, 11:15 AM

I think the line can be -3.5 for bears up to -6.5. Jackson out, farve doubtful. They have no Qb at the moment. There looking to sign patrick ramsey, minny has no chance

Has Jackson really been ruled out?

They will call Favre a game-time decision to drum up interest in the game and get people to attend, but then they'll declare him out at the last possible moment. PR stunt.

**jjgold** · 12-15-10, 11:27 AM

Yes I think the Vikings are a very sharp play here
Do not go by that Giant game

Sharp at what spread?
What about the QB situation?
Can't possibly be sharp to even form an opinion without that stuff.

**Ninersnut** · 12-15-10, 11:31 AM

I love having the Bears D in my Fantasy playoffs. They are going to shut down Minny after getting destroyed against the Pats.

**d2bets** · 12-15-10, 11:34 AM

Has anyone seen a line? Will they even post one with the uncertain QB situation?

He hasnt been rulled "out" but adam schefter reported hes out till thurs the earliest with turf toe. If he does play he wont be ready physically I think, neither will farve. I doubt farve or jackson will play and if they do it will end up in destruction against that bears D. So can you really count on Patrick ramsey, whos joining the team in preparation for half a weeks time to cover a +3 (guess) spread? I like bears winning by 20 here honestly

**jetsjets1028** · 12-15-10, 12:05 PM

the game itself is 1 for ripleys who gives a shit

**jetsjets1028** · 12-15-10, 12:06 PM

bears great d? yeah cert showed it sunday huh

Patriots have a way of doing that. 30+ points 8 times. But FWIW a. they did play better 2nd half; b. one of the TD's was a defensive score, c. the last second TD was just a surprise and a lapse. I know, a lot of ifs, and the Patriots did dominate, but it was actually just an "average" game for Brady - his 7th highest QB rating of the season. And NE was 3.5 yards per rush. Not really worth defending that effort though.

**marcoloco** · 12-15-10, 12:46 PM

maybe under is the play?

**dherd** · 12-15-10, 12:48 PM

the new ice bowl. glad i will nog be siting out there for that one. bears mawl them.

**szk1983** · 12-15-10, 12:50 PM

is there anything better than outdoor football in cold weather?
