I'm leaning pretty heavily on the Vikings winning this game, but this is predicated on my belief that the Vikings front four will be able to put just enough pressure on Brees to make him uncomfortable, which will lead to more possessions for Minnesota. Keep in mind that this game's surface lends itself nicely to the Vikings defensive style.
It is also my hope that the Vikings will not try to establish a running game just for the sake of trying to get Part Time going. They need to do what they do best which is move the football according to whatever the defense allows. Also, Favre has the luxury of the jump balls to Sydney Rice which will lead to TD's or pass interference calls. And, if the Saints double Rice, that leaves Shank/Berrian/Harvin/Taylor/Petersen as the beneficiaries.
I'm really beginning to believe the Saints' backers have no idea what their team will be in for come Sunday evening. Eyes will be opened.
