No one wants to comment until they know if Percy Harvin will be playing - just throws too much uncertainty into the mix.

~Aldin, who thinks "throwing uncertainty" (NOT uncertainly) is a pretty good description of Favre on his wild days

Didn't you hear? Football season ended last Sunday. Pitchers and catchers are reporting so baseball is right around the corner again!

Or perhaps the elimination of the Chargers, Packers, Ravens and Patriots has something to do with it....

I think no one wants to comment because ANYTHING could happen. Jets are pulling a 2008 Cardinals and the Viking Saints game is anyone's match...

Harvin playing or not. Vikings win this game by 10.

I have been a Viking fans since age 10 or so. I have been waiting a long time for this. I don't want to have my hopes dashed like they were in the '98 game against the Falcons (I was at that game). The stadium was out of control with only a couple of minutes on the clock and the Vikings ready to go ahead 10 pts when Anderson missed a less than 25 yrd field goal left by about 2 feet (his only miss of the entire season.)

I don't want that to happen again. Vikings by 10, or my basement might flood from the unstoppable tears.

On Monday, loborocket was found drowned in his basement from tears.

I say the Colts and the Saints go. That would be a pretty decent SB, but every SB is just 'decent' until my Packers go. *sniff* A-rod is definately going to lead us to greater things, but we've got a tough schedule ahead of us.

I still can't see any way that my beloved Vikings can win that game - if it weren't for their blasted home-field advantage, which is huge, imho, we might have a solid chance.

I do think we have the more well-rounded and more talented team, though it's a fairly close match-up. Certainly our Defense has been ranked higher all year both against the run and pass, at least.

Tough game to pick, everyone's saying that and I can't blame 'em.

I think we lose at the last minute by a field goal to the Saints. Sigh. Man, I hope not but that's what I keep thinking.

Either way, no matter how my gut feels, I'm going with SKOL VIKINGS!!!! YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU JUST BELIEVE!!!

PURPLE AND GOLD!!!

I think y'all had a chance until Prince made that hideous excuse for a theme song. It was almost calculated to make the gods turn their collective faces against the franchise.

~Aldin, glad Prince isn't a 49er fan

[Drumline3469]

Am I the only one who thinks the Saints would get absolutely destroyed if they met the Colts? The Saint's D just isn't enough to stop Manning and the Colt's D will hold Brees a little better. I'm PRAYING these two don't meet because I'd like to see an actual game.

[LeviofDoom]

Vikings may not be at home, but Favre won his first superbowl in NO and also the Vikings didnt have much trouble at away games unless they were outdoor stadiums... NO is a dome just like at home. GO VIKINGS!!!!!! injure Drew Brees first time he tries to throw
