    Players to watch
    Minnesota
    Brett Favre
    - Favre will have to keep up with the Saints because the Saints will be putting up a lot of points. If Percy Harvin plays it will give Favre a legitimate big play target. It will be important for Favre not to turn the ball over and he will have to watch for ball hawking safety Darren Sharper.

    New Orleans
    Drew Brees
    - This game could be a shootout that goes down to the wire. Brees is the type of gunslinger QB that can lead the Saints to victory.

    Notes:
    There are a lot of interesting matchups to watch. The Saints OL vs. Vikings DL. Darren Sharper vs his old team. Favre vs Brees. Injuries could be a concern for the Vikings with DE Ray Edwards and WR Percy Harvin.

    My Prediction:
    Saints 34 Vikings 27

    Haha. You beat me to it.

    Saint beat the bejesus out of the Vikings.

    30-17

    I think the atmosphere will be too much for Favre and Co.

    I'm going with the Vikings because of my X factor: ADP. He has been very very quiet the past few weeks while Favre has lite it up during that time. To help quiet that very loud Superdome in New Orleans, the Vikings will pound that ball. I expect a good game, but in the end I'll go New Orleans 24 Vikings 31.

    I'm rooting for the Vikes, hoping that if we win we'll have a chance to play the old man and get some payback!

    I am too exhausted to watch more football, this game would be so much fun to watch after a win.

    glad to see AD find the endzone. Hopefully that's the last points they score though...
