Just for fun:
PREDICTED WINNER: Minnesota Vikings SPREAD: -1.5 OVER/UNDER: 45 MYTHICAL SCORE: Minnesota 24 New Orleans 21
I don't usually plug in the pro-games but I did this time. In my mind, this match-up hinges on one thing. The Vikings Defense. New Orleans has the edge offensively and will win if the Vikes can't throttle it down. The big key is to stop the Saints rushing game. The Vikings beat them early but that was before The Saints rose to the top of the stat charts.
The official line for this game is unknown but its tough to believe either team is going to get much of an advantage in the way of points.

There's no way that I'll ever predict the Vikings win a playoff game. I'd love to see them play the Super Bowl at home, but I have no confidence in them.

I could talk about the Vikings for hours if not days. What should happen and what does happen are two different things with this franchise. Anytime a good offensive team plays at a good defensive team and the crowd is a big factor than I will usually take the defensive team. The difference between this Vikings team and their past contenders is that they are built around defense and conservative play calling and in the playoffs that type of a team usually does well. Conventional wisdom does not follow this team around as much as they are cursed but I think the bad luck will probably hold off for one more week and the Vikings will ride the U.S. Bank Stadium to a 34-10 win.

Williams missing that tackle was once in a million. Game was every bit as close as it looked going in. Great game.

I was positive the Vikings would choke again. Turns out the Saints had the chokiest player of all

Was hoping this game wouldn't be as stressful as it turned out to be!!
Long-suffering Vikings fan here going all the way back to watching them lose in, what was it, Superbowl IV. Saw them play that year and thought no way Kansas City beats them. Yada yada...
Skol !! to any fans out there. Looking forward to next week!!
