No excuses. It will be a good game. Maybe you can explain your team's mediocre 4-4 road record where you lost to any respectable team except the one road win in Green Bay which was likely as big or bigger than any game for Favre in his career. The Vikings statistically (since you seem to be enamored with them) look average at best on the road compared to their home performances with alarming lower stats on both sides of the football. Realistically should you not be comparing your road stats to our home stats to get a more accurate picture. You aren't in the friendly confines of the Metrodome this weekend.
