What is your take on what'll be different than when the Viking were thoroughly outplayed in early December?

The weather will be a factor in throwing the ball. Minnesotas run game will be better then Seattles. Bridgewater has been very steady when called upon and is making great decisions. Seattle has been good as of late, but I think the weather plays into Minnesotas favor. I'm not big on one game evaluations especially when the playoffs are involved. As always turnovers play a big part but I do sense it will be a tight game.

Pittsburgh is my team. I really can't be objective. Even if Cincinnati has a better record, I like to see Pittsburgh win.

No matter where they stand in post season, the sixth seed or better, I'm a bit excited, & a bit nervous when they are in the playoffs. So far Roethlisberger is playing decent lately. The last time Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl they got into the playoffs as a sixth seed. It's not how good the record for the year is, but does the team have the momentum going into post season that counts.

Well, it's not like the Vikings are a traditional cold weather team, they're a traditional dome team. I think the weather is at least as much a negative for the Vikings as the Seahawks. We'll see but I like the Hawks.

Ya, Houston got beat pretty badly a couple weeks ago by a Patriots team ridiculously decimated with injuries to their defense, RBs, and O-line. Not to mention Edelman.

yeah we have injuries 2 all teams have injuries no excuses

We will beat the pats and all the bandwagon pats fans will cry I cant wait

I sure hope Houston beats the pats. One less powerhouse to deal with for Seattle. Too bad Kansas City is going to destroy Houston and then New England and then whatever sorry team that beat the Broncos. Don't be surprised if Kansas City makes it in this year. Seattle has to beat Minnesota and then Carolina to play most likely the cardinals again which will be a tough game. NFC this year is pretty stacked.
