Which team do you want to for our first playoff game?

Voted Vikings but here's my order
In order:
Minnesota - their offense can't keep up with us. I want them most.
Dallas - if for no other reason than we want them, at home. Badly.
Seattle - doesn't play as well away from the Chicken coup.
Chicago - don't play as well away from Soldier Field but cause turnovers
Philly - they're on a roll. Foles is a difference-maker to the team. I'd want them least.

All NFC playoff slots are filled with the exception of WC#2. On a normal Sunday, I would expect Philly to slide in, but this Sunday isn't normal. Like the Saints, Da Bears have nothing to gain by playing their starters. So, I expect a Minnesota win and Philly gets to watch the playoffs.

Actually I believe Chicago still has a chance at #2 seed with a win and a lambs loss. Lambs have to play the 49ers, divisional game and San Fran has been playing teams tough here lately. Pretty sure da bears will be looking for a W, and I expect they'll get it if they are indeed playing their starters. Seeing Minnesota spend a boatload of cash for Cousins and missing out on the playoffs all in the same year would do plenty for me. We already trashed them in their own house. Hell, without that loss to us they would already be locked in. So as far as I'm concerned, we ended their playoff hopes, and that gives me the warm fuzzies all over... and a semi
