Vikes vs Eagles

Happy 2009! The Minnesota Vikings host the Philadelphia Eagles in three days and I can’t wait. It sounds like Pat Williams is a game time decision, but likely will play. This is great news for the Vikes. The Giants really made it seem like Fat Pat is the reason that Minnesota is so hard to rush the ball against.

Defensive end, Ray Edwards tweaked his knee and will not play Sunday. Brian Robison will start in his place. Robison is solid and not much, if any of a drop off from Edwards.

Adrian “Purple Jesus” Peterson revealed he has had a bum ankle for the last three weeks, but that if feels “pretty good” currently. For the Vikes to win Sunday, AD needs to have a solid 100+ yard game. I think he will.

Philly is going to blitz Tarvaris Jackson and try to force turnovers. I think T-Jack and the offense rises to the occasion and beats the Eagles 24-13 at Metrodome.

Bring on the Panthers!
