Fearless prediction: whichever of these teams wins this game is going to beat the Colts next week. These are two good teams. ---

Adrian Peterson is going to be the death of the Vikings. Man canNOT hang onto the ball. ---

OK, this is getting surreal. But the Saints can’t seem to capitalize on Peterson dropping the ball, which might come back to bite them. ---

Um, he’s only off his feet, Aikman, because the guy LIFTS him up off the ground, then smashes him down into it with his facemask into his ribs. :rolleyes: I’m no Favre apologist, but that’s exactly the activity the call is designed to prevent. ETA: It appears I may have been right about Favre. Trying to put too much on him, and he’s getting killed trying to do it. ---

> [@FoieGrasIsEvil](#): > > I’ll take your meaningless wager involving no actual money and raise you even more non-existant money! OK, it’s done. If the Colts win, I owe you seventy squijillion dollars. If the NFC team wins, the Reds have to trade Brandon Phillips to the Mets for Luis Castillo. ---
