Minnesota Vikings @ New Orleans Saints: Game Predictions

Everyone's favorite Canal Street Chronicles pre-game tradition is back for it's third straight season!
Normally we'd be doing this on Friday afternoon but since the Saints kick off everything this Thursday, we've got to get an early start as well. Most of you guys probably already know how this works but for all of our newcomers, I'll review the rules again. Listen up.
Every week before a Saints game, everyone makes three (3) predictions about that game. They can be any predictions you want. You can guess that Drew Brees will throw for over 400 yards or you can guess that Sedrick Ellis will be fined by the league for excessive Pee-Wee Herman dancing following a five sack performance. It doesn't matter. Put your three predictions in the body of your comment, NOT the subject heading.
I know what you're thinking. You'll just guess silly things you can't possibly get incorrect like, "Someone will get tackled" or "After the game, there will be a winner and a loser." If you wan't to do that, be my guest, but I'm pretty sure you will be heavily ridiculed. You're call.
It's also become tradition to make a score prediction as well. That's a freebie you get and it doesn't count against your regular three predictions. A good score prediction can only help you, not hurt you. Please type your score guess as the subject heading of your comment. If you need an example of how all of this works, check out the prediction thread from an old Saints game against the Lions.
That about covers it. So without further ado, I leave it to you guys. Can't wait to hear them. Good luck.

possible… but they might not even be close enough to interfere. ;-)

hah...
That is actually pretty funny. There was one of those in overtime.
Bad calls happen, not bitching, but it is funny. We were not close enough to interfere.

it was a catch-back from the uncalled interference on the Greer INT that would have been.

um…. if you’re thinking total yards, I doubt it.
I was taking it that none of the KR/PR were longer than 25 yards each.

That’s how I took it, also. The only time that’s probably ever happened is in a shutout loss, when the Saints only kicked off once and it just so happened to be a touchback. Any more opportunities than that and 25 yards on a kickoff return at SOME point in the game is practically a given.

2. Score goes over 60 (total) points.
3. 3 total turnovers or less.

You are my people, you are my crowd, this is our music, we love it loud...
Man, some of you guys think your defense is better than it is.
I don’t see how any of you can think that the Vikes are going to score less than 20 points in this game.
Did you even watch the NFCCG?
Other than the turnovers, we basically marched up and down the field.
Saints: 38
Vikings: 35
1. Overtime.
2. Favre throws 1 pick that is NOT a deflected pass.
3. There are no fewer than 3 fines levied upon Saints players, 2 for Vikings players.
NFCCG was last year
This is this year.

Yes...
And we are both returning almost every one of our starters on both sides of the ball. Save for Cedric and Sidney.
Do you really think your defense will be able to hold the Vikings to under 20 points? If so, you might be a bit delusional.
I mean, there is always a chance it could happen. It is football after all. But do you think it is even remotely likely?
Personally I gave you 24
First off, I do not think you will turn the ball over as much. I do think that due to Favre’s limited time with his current group of receivers that the Vikings receiving corp. will not yield the same results as last year (very little time together in the preseason compared to a full season of play) effecting overall rhythm. You may discount that, and that is your prerogative. We shall see i suppose. I could very well be wrong (but i wouldn’t bet my money on them clicking).
We are not missing anyone on our offense. All systems go. That means a lot of options for Brees. And a lot of headaches for your D. You got one sack last year. I would not expect much more than that this year (if you are able to achieve the same).
Frankly, I think your secondary is going to be lit up. Our secondary should be just fine in my opinion. We may not have Sharper going for picks, but the rest of the starters will be there and are arguably top 5 in the league as a group. And because we attack your secondary often enough, i feel we will be able to catch you off guard with some runs.
AP will be productive, but i hear Gerhardt is banged up, you lost Chester, that leaves no real support for AP (i am not buying Albert Young just yet sorry). Our O-line is back and intact. Our D-line is bolstered. Our LB’s are the question mark.
Football is easy if you're crazy as hell
I think the turnovers will be reduced as well, though that does not mean there will be none.
The entire Vikings team has more motivation to win this game than the Saints, due to the heartbreaking loss in January. I think that will go a long way to narrow the gap between the talent levels on the offensive side of the ball.
As far as the defense is concerned, you are forgetting that we do have Winfield at full health; and even though Cedric is not going to be 100%, Asher Allen and Lito Sheppard are more than adequate replacements for Ced.
That does not mean we have a stellar secondary, but if we can concentrate on getting more pressure, we can make some progress. Just because we only got one sack last year does not mean we didn’t do anything to hurry Brees’s decisions, and that can lead to turnovers quite easily.
AP will do what AP does, and if he can shave off a few fumbles from last year, I have no worries about what he will do.
The one thing I like about Albert Young is he is better at picking up the blitz than Gerhardt. And we might even bring Kleinsasser behind the line to do some blocking as well.
It will be a great game
What if
the Saints concentrate on stopping AP, and do so (it has happened before), and a rusty Brett Favre consistently overthrows his receivers? It’s not beyond the realm of possibility…and throw in the blow-out-the-roof emotion of the Superdome, and you could have the makings of a rout.
The game is played on the field…not by comparing spreadsheets.
It was worth the wait.

If the Saints concentrate on AP...
Then Favre will do what Favre does.
Do you really think that he is “Rusty” just because he didn’t go through training camp and a full preseason?
Don’t take the preseason games as any indicator of his assumed performance, he was just trying things out.
Rusty?
Well he has been around enough to be able to shake that off. What he won’t be able to shake off is the “timing” with his receivers. New players added, other players in new spots/formations. Consider Drew has been practicing fully for quite a while. Brett just showed up recently.
I have played enough team sports and fully appreciate team cohesion and timing and rhythm. In that regard we have the upper hand in my opinion.
Football is easy if you're crazy as hell
True.. the timing will be a bit off.
I can’t argue with that.
But I do think that the fuel we have to win the game might help a bit. The fire has been burning for 9 months now.
And the win is what I desire.
whatev...
Load and Re-Load rocked.

I lost all musical respect for them...
once they attacked their listeners for downloading their music, rather than embracing the technology and finding a way to use it to their adavantage.
If Favre get’s knocked out in the first quarter, I say they score less than 10.
It can happen on one play. That’s all it takes.
The are hobbled on offense… and our D is better than you think. :-)

If Favre’s not in, you’ll be praying that TJ can score any… I’m giving him credit that he might.
Want to go to the Saints vs. Cowboys game? I've got an extra ticket.
Well the reason Favre won't be in is because we're up
46 to 7 at the time. TJ’s scores two TD’s based on the fact that Porter makes an ill advised attemp at stripping the ball from AP and gets a cleat mark on his chest for his trouble. Also, half way through the game Will Smith realizes his acting career is more important and quits the team.. I also have some ideas about aliens, muppets and the letter K, but I think I’ll save that for game day.

I’m stuck going to my FIL’s rosary Thursday night. I’ll have to watch the game DVR’d, which really sucks. I plan to follow the open thread while I’m watching the DVR, so make it fun guys!
"It's better to burn out than fade away."
good luck in your media blackout before you get to watch the game
will you watch it right after the Rosary?
It's gonna be a great year.
Yes, that's the plan.
We figure we won’t be able to sleep much anyway, so we can stay up late to watch the game. If we don’t watch it right away, we’ll have to put it off until Saturday afternoon. And that would REALLY suck!

Vikings are weak in the secondary and the saints know it. Expect Brees to exploit the vikings in short yardage passing situations. And Dave Thomas is gonna put Jared Allen on the ground in the second half. This time we will leave no doubt who the better team is.
