The Saints didn't beat the Vikes last year, the Vikes beat the Vikes. This year, the Vikings don't turn the ball over and they crush the saints. Winfields back, Lito is in town, EJ is back....good luck Brees....you'll be on your back all night long. AP will run all over the Saints (AP projections: 22 attempts for 145 yards and 2 TDs).

^^^ The only problem with that prediction is: The Saints have everyone back and were clicking in pre-season. Favre should have showed up to camp a little earlier this year.

Something tells me the Vikes will not come close to last seasons success, Saints all the way tonight.

The Vikes have almost everyone back. Rice is out, but they have a great possession WR in Camarillo now. They got some key defensive players back as well. N.O. doesn't have everyone back, not yet anyway, with Sharper out for the first several weeks. That secondary becomes much more subject with Jenkins starting. The edge goes to the Vikings because they roster one of the best RB's of all time, and they have the better defense.

Any given game is a question mark but I agree with this. I think the Vikings will make the playoffs but I don't think they will be an elite team this year...just a gut feeling.

I hope the AP projection is spot on - but I don't think the Vikings will win this one either. The Saints are clicking and playing at home.

Yes.. unfortunately he had to. Of course it wasn´t the Saints beating the Vikings last year.. we beat ourselfs with those turnovers.. but with no Sidney Rice on the field, I think we will lose a close shootout.. :?

btw.. I got this same strange gutfeeling Dan and Mark were talking about.. just can´t help it.. :(

Favre needed time to get into rhythm last year seeing as he came in missing camp and some of the preseason, no reason to think he will have to get into rhythm this year again, so I pick the Saints for a 14 point win.
Start: 2 QB, 3 RB, 5 WR, 2 TE (All TDs=6, 1 per 10 rush/rec, 1 per 25 pass, NO PPR) 8 teams
QB: Rodgers, Vick, Cutler, Schaub, Luck
RB: Rice, CJ, McFadden, Richardson, Stewart, Ingram, Spiller, Vereen
WR: Green, Marshall, Roddy, Jennings, Roddy, Bowe, Maclin, Britt, A Brown, Williams (TB), Collie, Smith (STL)
TE: Graham, Finley, F Davis, Cook
Taxi Squad: Tebow, Crabtree, Jeffrey, Hill, Gordon

Looks like I'm the lone vote for the Vikes! Guess I can come back here and gloat in four hours! 8-)

The good sign on that drive was that the Vikes are playing there game and slowing down the tempo
