The Battle of the Gun Slingers

The story line of this game depends on who you like the most to win. Will "Coach Wade" keep his job? Is Romo the Quarterback the media wants him to be? Can old man Favre come back from the dead and win one more Super Bowl?

Did you hear about Brett Favre's new book? It's called Deep Thoughts, by Brett Favre. It will just be a compilation of sound bytes from a few interviews he's done. They may even make a 2 hour long dvd edition. I've never seen someone open up and reflect inside of a live nationally televised press conference more than Brett Favre.

AP's been pretty average the 2nd half of the season. In an interview this week, he was already saying he might only get 15 carries and that the point was to win the game however possible. I think that give you a hint of his mediocrity continuing this week.

On the other side of the ball you have a tough Dallas D that underperformed the first half of the season. On offense the Cowboys rely on timely runs from Felix Jones. Romo will need help from his running backs, he can not be forced to do it all himself. Both teams will have to battle for balance offensively.

If the Vikings lose it will be a total choke by Brett Favre and I don't see that happening. He'll need a big day and I think he'll get it in the form of TDs not yards. Being the #1 game of the weekend, this one should live up to its billing. I predict a back and forth game that the Vikings will pull away with late.
