I think this is a MAJOR matchup. I just can't figure out which way it will go.
Being at home, I think it gives the Saints the edge.
The 2 best teams in the NFC (i hate to admit it with the "Queens!")LOL!

What do you guys think about it? Which do you see as coming out on top?

I agree, I think playing at home gives the Saints the edge. Saints win this one. They have been so good at home, I have a hard time imagining somebody beating them at the Super Dome right now. Just like the Vikings; I don't think anyone could beat them at Mall of America Field Metrodome (catchy name!).

---

It's Mall of America Field at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. =)

Anyway, unless AP helps in a BIG way, I don't see the Vikings winning in a shootout against the Saints.

If the defense can get to Brees and rattle him and AP has a big game, I'll give the Vikings the edge. But only if those two things happen.

---

I can't wait until the Twins open the season at Target Field, and I can quit being conflicted about the Metrodome!

I've quietly been on the Vikings' bandwagon all season. The have the best roster in football. They need to continue to overcome their coaching in my view. As long as they spread the field offensively, their offense is unstoppable. If they try and become a run first team, they're more likely to lose. Their mentality should be throw to score and run to cement.

I think we'll be looking at a Minnesota vs. Indianapolis in Super Bowl.

I didn't watch too much of the NFC game today. I did see a fantastic throw by Brett to Rice for a deep TD. The DB had a great look on his face as if to say 'how the fuck did that just happen?' ... it was great.

I don't think the Vikings can punch the Saints in the mouth hard enough to make a lasting impression. I think they'll make it a good game until the 3rd quarter.

I do think it'd be neat to see a Jets and Vikings Super Bowl though.

I normally enjoy watching the NFL Playoffs, but this year, I haven't watched an entire game. I even missed 30 minutes of the Packers game. The rules of the game and flags are really turning me off lately. I get they have to have rules, its the inconsistency of them being called/not called that drives me away.

---

I haven't watched a whole game either. Just bits of them.
But the Saints look pretty tough.
I think they will win, bit it will be close.
I actually found myself pulling for the Vikings today.
(Did i just SAY that???)LOL!

---

I'm actually predicting the Vikings to represent our conference this year. More complete team. If the Vikings have any weakness, it's that their linebacker was injured but the pressure they put on Romo was unbelievable and they pretty much shut down the run as well.

They won't do it to the Saints, but the Vikings D is better than the Saints O more than the Saints D is better than the Vikings O. I hope that makes sense.

---

I'll go a step further. I think Minnesota is going to win the Super Bowl as long as they keep doing what they're doing. If they get away from being a spread offense, then I worry about them losing a close game. Not that they can't win with running the ball (ten wins last season) but they aren't better that way.

---

the Saints better fucking win. if they don't, i'm headed straight to panic mode.

if Brett gave the Vikes a ring I would completely lose my shit. not to mention the endless amount of shit we would catch from Vike fans. just thinking about it worries me a little, mostly because that team is easily good enough to go all the way.

Brett Favre might be the anti-christ.
