Break it down.

Minnesota is having a great season so far, on offense they are 14th in the league in scoring(24ppg), 9th in the league in rushing and Christian Ponder and Percy Harvin are having a BIG season together. Harvin is on pace for over 100 catches. TE Kyle Rudolph leads the team in Td catches (4).

On defense Minnesota is 6th in scoring (15ppg) and as usual very good against the run (76YPGA). Viks get to the QB often and Leading Rusher Jared Allen is already on pace for another 12 plus sacks.

This will be a close hard fought game IMO, the vikings will pound the rock and use the playaction pass attack as they have all season. Percy Harvin is really their only true threat at WR but the guy is having a monster year. I worry about our offense this week because the vikings stop the run better than anyone we've seen so far. If Griff is 100% I'll give us the upset win at home but if not I just don't see us grinding it out vs a team with Adrian Peterson at RB.

Thoughts?
