Official 10/25: Minnesota Vikings (6-0) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2)

[jpzx]

The Vikings are lucky you say?


Turnover differential- 2nd
3rd down percentage- Tied for 3rd
Pts per game- 2nd
Total Points- 2nd

Penalties/Penalty yards- Tied for 2nd to last in both

We score, convert third downs, don't incur penalties, and force turnovers/take care of the ball. Check Indy's stats in the same categories, muchlikely the same.

Lets go.
First time Adrian Peterson has played the Steelers in his career, hopefully he can make a hell of a debut.

Troy healthy? If so Vikes lose.

I say we win if AP has a good day. Safeties only affect 1 dimensional teams, we beat Reed, we can beat Troy.

 

[venom lyrix]

spread on this game is +4. The Vikings are getting +4, I cant believe that.

 

[jpzx]

Although I believe Polamalu has a step up on Ed Reed, you bring up a good point.

Was Ed Reed even that much of a factor in the game last Sunday? I know he had about 5 tackles or so, but I don't really think he made any impact on downswhen we moved the ball through the air, and it didn't appear like Favre was trying to stay away from him at all costs either. It felt to me like our passeswere going all over to different parts of the field and to different receivers.

Yet another great game in the making. I hope the Vikings win in a wild game and people can say they got lucky again, because that's clearly how teams getto 6-0.

Ed Reed, a guy who has long been debated with Troy in the conversation for best safety, was 100% healthy last week....so I don't see what youtwo are getting at.

If we're going to lose, it won't be solely because Troy Polamalu is finally healthy and on the field like you're both implying.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Game of the week? I think so

Reed may be the better safety but Troy means more to his team. Will he be the deciding factor? Probably not, but he will play a big part in the game, enough toswing it in Pittsburgh's favor.

 

[cedric ceballos 1995 lakers]

game will be good, ill go with the steelers in a close win, but if the vikings win i wouldn't be that shocked.

 

[kash55]

What are the chances of this game being boardcasted in the Pacific North West?

 

[truthmain]

Game will be a shoot-out; Big Ben will put up numbers like Flacco/Aaron did, but Mendenhall will not run over us like Ray Rice did. Close game, but I see theVikes eeking one out.

But won't be surprised if we come out 6-1.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

No Winfield = No win for the Vikings. If Joe Flacco picked apart the defense through the air in the 2nd half last week, I don't want to think about whatBig Ben is going to do.

Steelers by 7.

 

[arstyle27]

Let's go Steelers !!

Can't wait for this game!

We need to get AD going from the get-go to ease the pressure on the passing game.

Hopefully, 'Toine can play and be effective somewhat. We need him. Hopefully our D plays the full 60 this time.

 

[dmxfury]

Steelers tend to step up in big game situations....this is a big game. Being at home I thnk Pitt should pull this out, but either way wouldn't surprise me.Hopefully Troy move around better than he did against Clev. Hopefully the same result as IX

 

[cryingfreemancoa]

i really hope vikes pullout a win.

 

[TheGift23]

1. I hope it's a great game.

2. I'll root for the Vikings, never have had problems towards that franchise (Neither with Pittsburgh, but they had there run of success recently) andactually hope they represent the NFC in the Big game this year.

 

[CP1708]

Game of the week for sure.

I'm lovin gettin this game at 10, and the Miami/Saints at 1.

Hope this is a good game, but I don't see the Vikes winnin in Pittsburgh. If this game was in Minnesota, then I might feel different.

 

[that kid daniel]

I say Minnesota got this.

 

[mez 0ne]

Steelers take care of business at home.

Game of the week, why is this not the Sunday night game?
