Saw this on a Vikings Board message board

To me this is a 50/50 game. Looking at both teams, I think the Vikes may have the advantage because they're at home. Scam put 350 on our defense last week but was not effective in the redzone. We also benefited from a couple of dropped passes, one that would've been a touchdown.

I'm not saying that the Saints can't beat the Vikes. I just think that this will be a tough one for both teams.

I'm optimistic that the Saints can win, if they go to Minny and play their best football. That defense is tough. The injury to Peat may have a pretty big impact. He's solid. And we don't have much after Kelemente if someone else goes down. We need the running game to be good to have any sort of control in this game. If not, it'll end up in a shoot out like last week.

I'll tell you one thing, I'm not looking past the Vikes. They're good. And though we're a completely different team than we were when we saw them earlier in the season, this is gonna be a tough one.
