Week 15 of the nfl year sees the 10-3 New orleans saints go to the 2-11 Minnesota Vikings in an NFC game between a Super Bowl contender and a team playing out the string. The match ought to be one with a solid dose of scoring.

With a five game winning streak, the Saints are in nice form. The offense is humming with Brees looking set to break Dan Marino’s all time passing yardage record for one year. It is not even funny how a lot of skilled participants the offense has. If the Saints have one deficiency, it’s their defense. The weak link of the team is the defense. Sadly for Minnesota, they do not have the means to make use of it.

It’s not going well for the Minnesota Vikings, who are in a transition year. On offense, the Vikings are trying to break in rookie quarterback Christian Ponder. As with all rookie qbs, Ponder has demonstrated times of brilliance and times of shear incompetence. Don’t expect any major highlights from the Vikings passing game, as he’s on a rough run at the moment and was sidelined for a bit last week.

If there’s any good news for the Vikings, it’s the truth they’ll have the top running back in the league back in the lineup. Adrian Peterson returns from an ankle sprain, yet one has to wonder why the Vikings are putting him back in the lineup with the year lost and reports indicating he is only 85 percent well. One can imagine Christian Ponder is mighty happy to see him back though!

The Saints are preferred by 7 points in this game. This is more a statement of the condition of the Saints defense than anything. Still, it’s tough to see a limited Adrian Peterson and rookie quarterback being able to maintain on the scoreboard with the Saints offense. The relatively modest 7 point spread is rather astonishing as the Saints appear primed to win this game huge.
