"They'll meet their match, though, in Saints cornerbacks Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter, who have aced every challenge against the league's top receivers when they've been healthy. Combined, they have allowed only one touchdown pass all season, which came when Atlanta's Roddy White got away with a push-off against Greer in Week 8. Last week, Arizona receiver Larry Fitzgerald was practically a non-factor, catching six passes for 77 yards and no scores."

8. Vikings receivers vs. Saints cornerbacks

Favre has made the Vikings better on offense, but the emergence of two young receivers has been making the old man look pretty good.

Last week, Arizona receiver Larry Fitzgerald was practically a non-factor, catching six passes for 77 yards and no scores.

The return of a healthy Greer and Porter has made the Saints' defense better from top to bottom. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams can be more aggressive and creative, knowing that he can trust his corners to handle their business.

We keep the Vikes 15 yards or more from the redzone and they may never score.
