NFL Playoff Picks

The only question with the Vikings how many touchdowns they win by, two or three ?

Actually I have several other questions, most notably; 1) Are the Vikes healthy? 2) Can they stop the screen?; and 3) Can they win the turnover differential?
If yes to all, then you're right, as they are the better team all around.

It is heartening to know the Vikes won there last year on a Monday night, although by only 3, against basically the same team, while using Gus Frerotte at QB, having AP run for only 32 yards on 21 carries and yielding 330 yards passing to Brees.

Yes they are healthy and ready, but so are the Saints so as long as our defense plays like they did against Dallas Brees wont be able to light it up and Reggie Bush won't be able to run at will. Of course if the Vikings play like they did against AZ they are in trouble but hopefully that doesn't happen. Should be a good game !!

Harvin missed his third straight day of practice, and since he is involved in a variety of plays designed just for him, that can't bode well. Edwards and Williams are ouchy, and Winfield still is not 100% (with his replacement Sapp also banged up and questionable). Plus Brees, unlike Romo, does not require much time to release the ball, and the Saints are great on the screen against overzealous pass rushers and a mediocre Viking linebacker corps (Greenway needs to come up BIG). So proceed cautiously, Viking's fans.

If those guys are a little banged up Vikes probably only win by 10.
