Minnesota Meltdown Gives Saints Home Field Advantage in Playoffs

12-28-2009, 11:32 AM

The Minnesota Vikings melt down on Monday Night Football against the hapless Chicago Bears and lose 36 to 30 in overtime.

The Vikings are 1 and 3 in the last 4 games they have played.

Congrats to the Chicago Bears for putting forth an excellent effort despite not being in the playoff hunt.

Here's to a Minny meltdown..and i despise the da bears but i gotta pull for em..lol

Vikings will win out.

It will be up to the Saints to take care of business next week...

Yeah your probably right..

It may be better that the Saints have to win next week. I think they need a big win before attempting a playoff game.

I'm thinking I agree - win or lose - barring injury.

I don't know that it will be too good for the psychology of this team if the Vikings lose tonight, we rest vs Carolina, and the last effort by our starters is that farce we saw yesterday...

I'll be watching the Vikes and Bears at my friend's place tonight. The upset win is on for the Bears - we plan on sticking pins in his GF's Vikings rally monkey since she's out of town for Xmas

I never thought i would root for the bears ever. But GO BEARS!!!!!!

I'm sure not watching. If I do, the Bears will lead the whole way and then it will come down to a FG or game winning TD drive by Farve with seconds to go that will win it for the Vikings.

No, as I stated earlier, I'll settle for the 30 seconds of agony seeing the score on ESPN or the NFL network instead of being tortured for hours.

But what I really expect is:

Vikings 38 Bears 10

C'mon Arsaint. Farve and childress are hating each other right now. The team is not being lead right. And not to mention Peterson has been having fumble-itis lately. We got a chance. LOL

Minnesota is ripe for a loss - if they were playing Tampa maybe.

Chicago has all but turned out the lights in the locker room for this season. And thanks to the Jerry Joneses winning last night, the G-men have nothing to play for.

Maybe the Giants still beat the Vikings, but the Bears sure won't.

If I'm wrong, I'll give my address to receive my crow dinner...
