Bengals will win EASY Sunday

Minny has beaten some bad teams , and lost to the better teams , if cinci beats them ( which is very possible , and probable if they play well } everyone will jump off the Vikings,  and Fave Bandwagon

I wouldn't say easy, but I agree they will win, they are rated 2nd against the run. I think this is another let down spot for Favre. All the experts will get off their nuts if they lose this one. I really hope they lose.

As of now though I still think your Saints are because they can score at anytime from any point on the field.  Dynamic offense, almost as good as the Patriots one from the Undefeated season.  I'd love to see a WHO-DEY, WHO-DAT Superbowl...That would be somewhat out of the ordinary.

This would be a great Superbowl, I don't think that Indy will make it, I know how good they are looking, but my gut tells me that Manning will choke as usual, especially if they have to play San Diego.

....just kidding....

I like the Bengals WITH THE POINTS.  I frankly don't see either team going anywhere to far in the playoffs.  I do give the Bengals credit for a very nice year....

I think a lot of people would disagree with you saying that Minny won't go far in the playoffs. I tend to agree with you about Minnesota, I think they have all the right pieces, but everyone is not on the same page. Look for them to get exposed, because of the injuries that they have right now.

Good luck WhoDey

I'm from Minnesota and a long time Vikings fan and follower.  If either team has to prove something, it's Minnesota.   They've beaten...get this.... Detroit twice, Cleveland, Seattle, St. Louis, Chicago, San Fran (at home) on last second hail Mary, Baltimore (at home) on last second FG miss by Baltimore kicker and Green Bay twice.   While the Green Bay wins look ok now, one was on Monday Night in Favre's first game against GB (at the dome)  and the other was Favre's first game back to GB.   Without the hail mary against SF and if Baltimore kicker makes that kick, MN is sitting at 8-4 and in danger of being a wild card team.

While I still think Minnesota is a good team with good skill players, their defense was exposed against BAL and ARI and even GB to some extent and now they lost their defensive leader, EJ Henderson.

All that being said, and while CINCY is the right play + the points...I do have a sneaky suspicion that Minnesota comes out ready to play and could cover so I will stay away.

MDAAK, will you please read this, I have said this all along buddy.

Peterson had a couple of good games Bruce, but your point is well taken here my friend. That is a true statement, and now we can say that Minny loss to a bad team Pitt and almost lost to Balt, and San Fran. I'm not ready to say that the Vikes are going to the NFC championship game.

Are you going to have your picks up before the end of the day?  I'm actually leaving town and wont' have internet access...plus i have reduced juice friday's at my book=)  A couple of games a like other than Cinny if i don't hear from you:

Dallas -3

Chicago +3.5

Jax      -3

Oakland -1

Gl this week

The KITTYCATS have lost to DA RAIDERS straight up as 9 point favs didnt cover  against the BROWNIES as 12 point favs  at home    didnt cover against the BLUECATS as 13 point favs at home        the VIKINGS before losing at the RED BIRDS as 3 1/2 point favs beat and covered against DA BEARS as 10 point favs at home   beat and covered against the SEAGULLS as10 1/2 point favs at home and pushed against the BLUECATS as 17 point favs at home what does all this mean since beating the STEELERS who have now lost 5 in a row  the KITTYS have not covered there last  three games against teams with losing records they  4-1 on    the road 3-2 ats VIKINGS are 6-0 at home 3-2-1 ats  so  a easy win, i dont think so can they cover, only if palmer brings his A game and there O line protects him, if not there in for a long day after being burned  by the kittys the last  two weeks aginst two of the n.f.l.s worst teams  i will  give the 6 or a no play for me

g.l.

Strong card

The same could be said about your Saints too. 

That is all you can comeback with, finally you and jesron can read someone thoughts on your Vikings.

The Saints will not make the NFC championship game saintsfan.  They always choke in the playoffs and the team has been exposed against STL, WAS, and CAR.  This team has not been beaten, but they will be if they face GB or AZ in the divisional round.  It's my opinion, but I will come back to say I told ya so kid.
