I'm surprised that so many people are picking the Vikings to win. Take Owens away from Philly and you're left with an offense that won 12 games in a better NFC last year. Couple that with a defense that shut down the Vikings earlier this year and I really don't see how you can't pick the Eagles to win this one.

We'll see.

The Eagles offense without Owens is terrible, and the Vikings are a far better team now than they were early in the year. Onterrio Smith is back, Michael Bennett is healthy, and Marcus Robinson and Nate Burleson have stepped up. We also can't forget Wiggins as a threat in the red zone.

"Pats are going to rape Indianapolis's recievers off the line."

Who? Troy Brown?

Wha? Who? Where?

Who? Troy Brown?

Troy Brown would be the Colts' best cover corner though...

"Hate The Jets Week" sounds pretty fun if you ask me.

Not as funny as WIDE RIGHT.

Pats are going to rape Indianapolis's recievers off the line. I think the game will be decided by how lenient the ref's are with the five yard rule.

Considering that the rule interpretation was changed in the offseason mainly because the Pats raped them last year, I doubt it.

Excellent...

Yeah, Jimmy Hoffa came back to life and everything.

Vikings won't have a problem with Eagles. Eagles haven't played a meaningful in 2 weeks if I'm not mistaken, and even worse they haven't played a meaningful game without Terrell Owens. Eagles will be too dependent on their defense and special teams, and that just won't be enough against a Vikings team that has an explosive offense and a defense that has all the confidence in the world to stop an Eagles lackluster offense.

Though I believe you're right, and it pains me so, I do think their defense HAS been improving and within a year or two will be good enough to make it if the offense can keep it up.

As hard as I usually am on the Colts...if ever there was a team that could get by on offense alone, this one is it.
