50 DIMER - MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Prediction: Adrian Peterson is the MVP of this game!
I have a strong feeling that last week's 26 carry game in the Vikings 34-3 thumping of a Dallas team that did beat these Saints earlier in the season at the Superdome is going to lead to a monster output from Peterson in this game.
I believe the Dallas defense is by far a better defense than the one New Orleans trots out on the field. You saw the Cardinals go to the house on their 1st play from scrimmage last week, and you will see plenty of holes for Peterson and his backfield mate Chester Taylor to exploit in this game.
Once that run is established, Brett Favre will be free to pick apart the Saints secondary in any way, shape, and form he so desires.
You may say, "hey G-Man, but isn't the same true for Drew Brees and his mates?" I will answer "yes, to a certain extent".
I think the Vikings defense will do what they do best, and that is stop the run, making the pass a little more predictable to cover for the Minny defense. Brees is capable of forcing a throw or two, and you can expect a pick or two in Minnesota's favor in this game.
Don't worry about the Vikings poor regular season close on the road, those games were outdoors, this game is indoors and Minnesota is quite familiar with playing indoors.
Also don't worry about the sudden flash that Reggie Bush showed last week, I can assure you the Vikes will punch him in the mouth early in this game, reverting him back to the "soft" player that he really is!
The points are the way to go in this game, and don't be surprised at all if Minnesota winds up winning this game outright.
Take the Vikes!

I have played out this game multiple times, and with what the Jets bring to the table, I don't see them getting blown out in this one.
Indy cannot run the ball effectively, and that will make the job of the #1 Jets defense that much easier - if it can ever be called "easy" against Peyton Manning - for the Flyboys to put the clamps on Manning.
Indy just won't be able to pull away in this game. This game stays close all the way.
I fully expect this one to be decided by no more than a field goal, and after watching New York go into Cincinnati 2 weeks ago and win outright, and after watching New York go out to San Diego last week and face a team that I feel was way more dangerous on offense than Indy is, and win that game too, I have to give the Jets a fighting chance in this game.
Take the points baby!
AS ALWAYS POINTS WOULD BE GREAT.
