[fishersofmen]

Well we are going to New Orleans for the Championship game. Miami here we come!!

[luckycrank]

wooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! you had to be that guy ah!!

[gr8icefishinmind]

Kinda of like saying a basketball player hasn't missed a free throw in his last 30 attempts and then when it is said he misses his next shot........had to do it didn't ya!?

[buckx37x]

were going there(cross your fingers) wait (toes also)

[LMITOUT]

Wishful thinking perhaps?

[mnwild]

Kinda jumpin the gun. Dallas matches up very good with the Vikes, Dallas win somehow.

Dallas- 31

Vikes- 27

Favre struggles with the pass rush and gets hit a few times...

[bassNspear]

i think the only way the vikings win is with farve. And he will have a awesome day!

[FISHINGURU]

I'm glad we have Fav-ray, anything is possible now!!

[solbes]

Very brave prediction. But, it's time for this to move

TO THE TOP!

As far as I know, we don't have any past negative playoff situations with the New Orleans Saints. It'll be interesting to see what LMIT comes out with. Atlanta is off limits...

[stumper]

Dallas who?

[BlueLundFishrman]

Dallas Clark

[solbes]

Vikings would win this match for sure in the Big Inflatable. Being in NO, will be a tough game for sure. Vikes in a nail biter.

I keep waiting for the return of our running game. Is it coming back?

[gregg52]

its hard to believe sometimes that peterson has 1300+ yards

it just seeems to me he just runs right into the coverage

but i guess its enough to keep the defense off guard so brett

can do his thing

[LMITOUT]

Vegas has the WHO DAT SAINTS as a 4pt favorite now.

How much money are ya puttin' down?

LOL, wishful thinking. Good stuff.....guess the win was somehow lucky...or lets hear how anyone who thought the vikings could win was on purple kool-aid. Lets hear about that weak strength of schedule. Or the best, lets see that "luck factor" chart. I love all those meaningless points...

[LMITOUT]

Sure, their weak schedule and high luck factor landed them a home playoff game. Everyone was saying all week long that was the key to the Vikings having a chance to win this game. If they would have had to play an away game the outcome might not be as pretty, and we saw what happened when they didn't play at home at the end of the season. Carolina, Chicago, Arizona....

Meaningless...ha!

Now they get to travel to New Orleans without their security blanket and we'll see if they're able to shake the road game blues they've been notorious for.

Pretty sure when people brought up 8-0 at home as a reason to like the vikings you tried to shoot that down by listing the "nobodies" they played at home. Meaning the vikings had not seen anything like what they were going to see in the cowboys. We saw how that worked out....

And by the way, MN had the 15th toughest schedule in the NFL this year, quit pretending as if nobody had it easier.....

Let me add that GB personally had their chance to claim that #2 seed, but as you know that got swept by the vikings...

[LMITOUT]

Minnesota had the 2nd easiest schedule behind the Packers who had the easiest.

[james_walleye]

The only thing i can find citing the vikings with the 2nd easiest SOS is based upon 2008 records.....

[BlueLundFishrman]

James , you need to reference the correct info. 15th toughest is for next years schedule.

[LMITOUT]

Yep.

[james_walleye]

Ya your right, i found the final SOS for 2009, looks like the vikings arent the only team that drew benefits for it, although LMIT leaves that part out...

The bottom 6 were all in the playoffs.

That's funny
