The Vikings have been running a "bring it home" campaign detailing everyone for whom they want to win the Super Bowl. With this weekend's opponent, I think a certain quarterback should be added to that list. Yeah, you know the guy. The guy Bountygate hurt the most; Brett Favre.
But enough about the past. Today is about exorcising some demons. Neither Atlanta or Philadelphia should have struck fear into the heart of either team playing this afternoon at USBank Stadium. Therefore, it's my prediction that the winner of today's game will go on to beat the Eagles next week and represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.
It's a pretty simple task, beat the Saints and go on to play a severely weakened Eagles team. It has been eight years since the Vikings beat the Cowboys in the divisional round, and they haven't won a playoff game since (thanks, Blair Walsh).
But, it's also the Vikings, a team that is 17-28 all-time in playoff games. I'd say it's time to turn things around.
