This game is going to be very exciting and I think very high scoring. Both teams are prone to give up big plays and both teams are very capable of making big plays. On one hand you have Brett Favre and the other you have Drew Brees. Everyone, including myself, seems to be waiting for Brett Favre to implode and have a 3-4 interception game and this could be the one. It seems when he gets down or behind in years past he has tried to score 21 points in one possession and it doesn’t work well. Favre is one of the best qb’s ever and deserves all the praise for this season but we have a long history of viewing his playoff failures and we sense one is coming.

Who knows? Maybe Brees is the one who will choke and give the Vikings the win but at home in front of a loud loud crowd will only help the Saints and give them a great advantage. If the Vikings win this one it will be because they deserved it and really took it from the Saints. I will say that the more the Vikings pass the ball and stop the clock the tougher the game will get for them. They need to really control the ball and the clock and force Brees into thinking he has to hurry. If it is coming free and easy for Brees then the Saints will put up 40 points and cruise to the Super Bowl.

I like the Saints by a touchdown. 38-31
