The Vikings WILL beat the Patriots.

Yep, that Strib statement definitely seemed fishy.

Thanks for the correct research!

Here's the deal ... just like stocks and mutual funds, past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. At some point, the Patriots run of domination will end. Even though they haven't gone 0-2 since 2001, it WILL happen again. Might as well be next Sunday.

I'm feeling another blowout and yes, of the Patriots.

From what I saw of the highlights footage last night, the Pats don't look too sharp. If their D is sloppy, then I think we have a pretty good shot of out-scoring them. Brady won't reign forever, he's getting a little long in the tooth (like Manning) but will always be dangerous thanks to his knowledge of the game.

That said, I think we have a fair chance at a win. Voted yes, but that's more because I think they have the ability - not that I'm sure they will actually DO it. Sure would be nice though!!!

Would help if we have a discussion including a knowledgeable NE fan similar to the discussion of the Rams game. I enjoyed that thread.
