Who cares about statistics??
The NFL and me. Statistics prove what a player/team is capable of. It also proves what a player/team is capable of with certain odds and how they play against other players/teams. Which actually says a lot. For example, statistically the cardinals have a shaky defense - Hence a packer comeback to almost win after what seemed to be a blowout. That proves that their defense is shaky......
Also, Statistically the Saints have a shaky defense - Hence a Dallas and Buccaneer win against them. A 25th ranked offense can smash a 25th ranked defense....Statistics matter when your looking at the matchup.
For instance - think about the vikings and dallas matchup. You have an 8th ranked team in passing yards and a 2nd ranked team in points(vikings) stacking up against a 20th ranked team in defense pass and a 2nd ranked team in defense points.
This tells me that you may shut down peterson, but you'll get crushed in the secondary which is favres specialty. Oh, and when you start getting sick of harvins screen passes for 7+ yards watch for the deep pass, and thats when peterson runs it up the gut and averages 4+yards a carry.
Romo has never been to a super bowl. This is the first dallas win post season in ten years.
Favre's gone to the super bowl twice and won once.
Favre has more experience and has the best team he's played with ever probably. Having the best season ever. And the vikings really only got blown out once this year in a dome...vs. arizona.
The vikings are undefeated at home.
The vikings lost 2 big games in the cold , but their wont be any cold weather post season.
One of those games we barely lost.
And the steelers game would have been ours if it wasnt for 2 bad plays at the end of the game. We beat the shit out of them on the field.
All I gotta say is, if dallas doesnt come with their A game its over with ( i.e. Giants )
And even if they do come with their A game, this will be the toughest game Dallas will be playing all year, aside from the Chargers game. (And ill give respect where respect is due with that game)
Thinkin that the vikings will get blown out is

. Goes the same for Dallas. But the track record for the vikings proves, if we get up in the first quarter...its a wrap.
Bottom line (literally

) - Vikings vs. Dallas will be a great game.
