Re: Vikings -3.5
Thielen has had some big games but also some real duds. A good CB on him and he shuts down. Going to be much more difficult this time for him with or starting CB's on the field. I could see him having a bad day.
They have a good D line though. I don't see them selling out like the Panthers either. |

Re: Vikings -3.5
Absolutely, Ginn is a speedster just another one of Drew's weapons when the running game gets shut down.
Should be a big factor in the Vikes game. |

Re: Vikings -3.5
Vikes #1 defense in a division with the high flying Bears offense, a Rodgers-less Packers, and a Lions offense whose leading rusher had just over 500 yards this season.
They also had the Browns, Bucs, & Bengals. That's 9 games against below-average offenses. Steelers, Redskins, and Panties put up 26, 30, & 31 on these guys. Vikes D is very good, but you can see the flaw in that #1 ranking. Not the 85 Bears here. |

Re: Vikings -3.5
Vikings are nothing but defense and field position. They remind me of Bama. Little to no offense. Rely on a stout defense and wear down the opposing teams defensive front 7. They look to the 2nd half to attempt to pull away. I could see the saints blowing this game wide open with the right play calling.

Re: Vikings -3.5
I think the Saints will go there and pull away big to.
I been wrong and may be wrong this time. But theirs alot about the #1 and #2 seeds in the NFC this year that scares me none when you start to really look at the resumes and situations. |

Re: Vikings -3.5
Carolina beat them, and we beat Carolina 3 times.
I'm OK with our chances |

Re: Vikings -3.5
They also played a wussy schedule.
AFC North (3-1), Lost to Steelers NFC South (3-1), Lost to Panthers NFC North (5-1), Lost to Lions NFC others (2-0), Rams and Redskins They are 3-2 versus playoff teams, all 3 wins at home. We are 5-4 versus playoff teams Color me unimpressed. Good team, but not great. |

When I saw Thielen against the Saints in the first game, I didn't see anything about him that stood out, but all I know is nobody could seem to cover him, and apparently he's been able to do that against most teams, much to my surprise. |
