They were awesome against Seattle at Seattle. Here, they're playing at the Metrodome.

If they do, maybe then the skeptics will start taking them serious. The 2 games the Vikes have lost have been within 7 points, and their defense has not allowed 20 points in a game yet.
The Pats are not the team they use to be. They are 22nd in passing and 6th in rushing, but the Vikes D is 1st in rush defense, so they may be able to stop the Pats offense. The Vikes offense is 12th in the league, but they have the #2 rusher. Their offense is pretty much rebuilt from what started the season last year, and (hopefully) last week was when things finally "clicked" together.

The Patriots are going good right now, as are the Vikings. However, the Vikings are an inferior team overall and this is a chance for New England to get a stranglehold on the divisional race. Look for a closely played game with conservative game plans on both sides ending in a 24-17 victory for the Patriots.

The Vikings are a formidable team, especially at home and I expect a dogfight against my Patriots. The first quarter will be key, as the Vikes like to start fast and then use that swarming defense to squash their opponents. I can see Brady controlling the ball with quick, short passes, keeping the fine Minnesota D off balance. Either way it will be enjoyable to see two good teams clash. And no, I am not a blogger.

Hell yeah they will. I'm surprised that New England is favored on the road, but maybe that will fire up the Vikings even more than they already would be. Vikings will win a low scoring game, 16-13. Go VIKINGS!!!!

Not if they let tom brady have his way. If the vikings get up early they would be fine but if they get down tom brady will take over then the game will be all patriots

Not sure if they will or not...but personally I would not really consider it an upset. The Vikings have a pretty good team.

It's likely. Few people thought they could be beat the Seahawks either.
BTW, injuries are a part of the game and teams should work around that. You can't solely blame injuries for losing.

Yes. Minnesota will crush the Pathetics.

I don't think they will, but it will be a close game, especially because they're playing at home.
