Saints vs Vikings

[RDTrains]

1. Home teams that won 13 or more games in the reg season are only 13-12 SU & 7-18 ATS in the divisional round since '06. All 4 home teams this year qualify.
2. Road teams in this round that were 11-5 or better during the reg season are 13-13 SU & 19-7 ATS since '02. (New Orleans)

When 1 & 2 are matched up this round the home team is 4-6 SU & 1-9 ATS since 2006 (NO @ Minn).

You really think Case Keenum wins the Super Bowl? Saints weren't the team they are today in week 1.

It will be a tight game and unless Brees throws picks I think it will be Atlanta /saints NFC game.

Can't be the team they have been on the road in their last three games either .

 

[TheGeauxt]

argument to be made for both teams. Vikes have better D, but saints played tougher opponents. Saints have Brees, etc. But as a Saints fan, I give the edge to Vikes They are a solid team and they are rested. The bye week doesn't guarantee success, but the attrition with the Saints is to the point where I feel like they've gone as far as they can.

Then it's possible we see a rematch of last year's super bowl but this time Atlanta wins.

this will move to 5 soon

over also getting hit hard at 45

Those are exception, not the norm.... It's a QB league now...just check last 10 SB participants.
We'll revisit this thread after the game

did ya know that Keenum is top 10 qb rating

 

[PeePee]

That I didn't know..but I also know the greatest QBs had crumbled in PO before thus the experience matters.
My whole envision is... wouldn't it be great headline Brees vs. Brady in Superbowl ...for the first and possible last time. Two of the greatest QBs in league history

Dont forget 2009... Saints won the SB with 25th rank defense.

 

[Slickwitdadick]

So Minnesota wins, and either Matt Ryan or Case Keenum is in the Super Bowl. Atlanta lost last year and I dont see them getting back to the big game. Minnesota is very good but inexperienced if they get to the Super Bowl. If Minnesota gets there they will lose vs any AFC team.

Saints aren't experienced enough but they have Brees. It wouldn't surprise me if Saints beat Minnesota but it won't be a cakewalk.

I just can't see Case keenum in the Super Bowl. It's a QB league.

Denver D dragged Peyton Manning's corpse to the finish line a couple years ago. Great D's can get you there too.

In 1998, everyone thought it would be great to see Vikings (Randall Cunningham & Randy Moss) vs Denver (John Elway) in the SB.......but in the championship game, Vikings -10.5 lost SU in over time 27-30 to Atlanta, Morten Andersen fg won it. The Qb for Atlanta, Chris Chandler.....lol, most people never heard of him.

2000 Ravens Qb was Trent Dilfer, lol, but they had IMO, one of the best defenses ever, & won the SB over the Giants 34-7 with a scrub Qb.

Most of those points came off special teams & the defense.

 

[Aflacc]

There is such a big difference in the QB's experience in play-off games in all these match-ups. I am leaning to taking the more experienced play-off QB in all this round. Ryan, Roths, Brady, and Brees.

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

Last game of the weekend. I lean Vikings but there is one scenario that would allow Saints to be a goy for me personally, but I don't think it will happen. Everything else has to unfold first. We shall see but my hunch says it wont present itself.

 

[BleedingPurple]

Back to qb play.. Rodgers played Kap twice in playoffs and lost both

Lol I think Kaep is undefeated vs the packers and Rodgers. Threw for 400 yards against them in a season opener one year.

 

[Greenbacks]

Saints are going home.

Vikings into the championship game

Just bet the opposite of Mobdeeper cause he bets on past games instead of current facts.
Sorry bro
Not cool.

History repeats itself. It was really cool when I had dallas +6 goy and greenbay to win by 1-5 pts + 335ish in 2014. The dez bryant "catch or not". Was very cool. Thanks bro.

Peyton Manning, Russell Wilson, Joe Flacco, Eli Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, drew Brees, Tom Brady Kurt Warner. One or both of these is always in the Super Bowl.

Rex Grossman, Matt Hasselbeck, and Colin kapernick aren't the norm. Those guys don't win. Brad Johnson has a ring because they went against the same team their coach previously coached. There is no way case keenum is winning a super bowl vs Tom Brady or big Ben. If Minnesota gets there it's to give either of those 2 a an easier ring.

I guess your bar for the definition of great quarterbacks is not very high.

joe flacco great?
eli great ?
peyton two years ago great.....oh wait he was benched because he was so bad.....definitely not great.
russel great?


your arguement that qb determine the winner doesn't seem based on facts....more on hope.

Not great but I guess above average. Case keenum and nick foles aren't selling jerseys.

 

[HENHOUSE232323]

You Freeze Dried Mobdeeper? You been away for a while. What the heck are you talking about. Because someone beat someone in 2014 or 1984, they should win today or this weekend.

Wise up bro. You are making nonsense.
