Nope. 3 and 4 Wide sets, No running game, Pennington Puts it up 40 times, we win 27-13. This team Keys so Heavily on the run, that they will Fall into the Play Action. Big Day for Pennington, and I would venture to say we will almost assuredly gain 80, psossibly 100 yards on the ground. P.S. I am also predicting Canine scrotum over Kings chin by halftime.
Golic also picked against us. This is good, we're back to being an underdog - where we should be. I say we win decisively.
Depends which Pennington turns up. If the Vikes can get to him and hes throwing for his life , hes going to be an INT machine. After watching Schobel demolish Brick I would say that there will be alot of pressure coming his way. You can put any amount of stats in my face and it would not change my mind , I feel this game will not go our way. I hope I'm wrong , very wrong.
34-17 is a ridiculous prediction especially when you based it on yards allowed and yards gained. By predicting 34-17 you are saying we have no chance to win, I just wonder if you have watched either team play all year. you are looking at rushing yds allowed, falling prey to the media hype. look deeper. They hae given up yards on the ground and have given up points. 2 games against det where they had 13 total rushing yards on 21 carries has helped their D look alot better. They have a good D but it's not a great D, not an impossoble D to beat. They also are around 30th against the pass but you ignored that. Teams haven't had to run on them alot- Against the Pats NE scored 31 pts but only ran it 11 times w/ mauroney and Dillon. they also faced Ari 2 weeks ago and Ari ran it 5 times. ced benson had 9 for 60 2 weeks ago. look beyond the #s, it's not as simple as matching up the yardage 3s from the year and don't be a jerk when someone points out how silly that is. I'm trying to help you.
To use your logic then , the Colts should have pounded the Jags last week , but that ended up 17-44 Jags. There is an X factor in football that does not respect stats or reputations and no matter how much you know its hard to predict. You or I will only be right after the game is played. Look at superbowl III, we had no right to win that game..at all. look at us in NE this year , and we played our hearts out and won that game , should we have? I don't think so. The difference between you and I is that you seem to look at every game and base it purely on what your head thinks based on stats , I on the other hand think with my heart and occasional stats. But according to this years football pool it looks like your head is beating my heart...so far.
you are proving my point, based on stats we never should have gbeaten the Colts in SB II or NE thi syera or many of the other teams we beat this year and jax never should have beaten Indy but you have to look beyond the stats. I don't really look at stats, i base alot of my picks on how teams are playing and how certain teams matchup w/ others. Sometimes I use a feeling but I try not to that much. I don't have any problem w/ someone picking the Vikings to win at home but I don't think it will be a blowout if we lose. I expect to win this game but if we lose I can't see this viking team blowing us out.
I think the Vikes will look at what the Bills did to us and take away a huge amount of knowledge that could wipe us, (hence the blowout). The only difference is do they have the D to do it? I'm extremely happy with the way the season has panned out and some of the players that I thought were busts have now stepped up and proven themselves. Mangini? What a talent.
For the first time this year I won't be following the game - or at least the start. Let's hope it works out for the best. Hopefully will have my Christmas cards delivered in time for the second half.
