I HAVE A FUNNY FEELING THAT WE BEAT THE VIKINGS.

The Saints and Vikings have some bad blood between them that most of the players this week don't understand. I love that the Saints beat them in the NFC Championship game before winning the Superbowl but they've had the Saints number since then.
I want the Saints to win ultimately but a beatdown like they gave the Patriots earlier this year would be precious.

Silly me...

You'll need another quality pass rusher in post season ... assuming we get that far.

I have that same feeling we'll win this weekend.
A playoff bound team wins these types of games.
A .500 team probably loses... badly.

Which one are we?

I think the Vikings won their last four games. We both sit at 5-4. We might need five more turnovers again this week to squeak out a win. Remember, Dennis Allen is still our head coach and he repeatedly tried hard to lose last week's game. Honestly, I don't see where all the optimism is coming from.

This is the 3rd consecutive week the Saints are facing a back up QB. Add an elite WR (J Jefferson) that will be out as well. Huge advantage - Saints.

The Saints are about as healthy as I've seen in a while. As Deuce stated, you have to kick these less talented teams in the teeth once you see blood (+5 turnover vs Bears).

X factor for me in this game is special teams (field goals/punts). Grupe & Hedley won starting positions this off season ... show us why.

I'd be surprised if we lost to the Vikes

. Even on the road

.

Consistency is what I'm after. I believe we are a playoff team.

Peter King said a whole lot of nothing in his take

Yes, the Vikes have won four in a row. The first three of which were with their franchise QB who is now out for the season. And the optimism comes from not buying into all of the delusional hate here on this board. You are teetering closely to tipping over into the dark side, Rugs.

Danielle Hunter leads the league in sacks (10). He'll square up against Ramz however the Vikes have no issues moving him around.

A DE you MUST account for.

With 21 sacks allowed only 9 teams in the NFL have allowed fewer sacks than the Saints.
