Vikings beat Texans, Get Ready to host the Favreless Green Bay Packers





→ Whew - the Vikings beat the Houston Texas 28-21 at the Metrodome. It was a desperately needed win (aren't they all if you are a Vikings fan?)

→ The win puts the Vikes at 4-4 . . . still in the hunt for the NFC North, don't jump off the wagon just yet Vikings fans

→ The Vikings offense looked good, not just AP, but the whole offense. I have increasing confidence in Gus Frerotte





→ The Green Bay Packers (also 4-4) will be at the Metrdome this Sunday.

→ I read somewhere that Vikings Tickets are at their lowest demand and price in over 10 years for this particular game. In fact, one of my friends called Ticket King to see if they were buying Vikings Packers tickets and they offered him half of face value - half ! He thinks if he would have sold his tickets before the start of the season when the Vikings hype was high, he could have made at least $30 bucks on the sale and if the Vikings would have scooped up Favre, probably twice that.

→ Jared Allen has a sever strain in his right shoulder, playing without him will suck.

→ It will be the first time since 1992 that Brett Favre will not be starting at the Metrodome.

→ Brad Childress is 0-5 against the Green Bay Packers, this game on Sunday will be huge for Dr. Phil. I would venture a guess that his job is on the line and this game could save or break it.


    Prediction: Vikings 23 - Packers 21
    Last week - I predicted Vikings 27 (actual 28) and Texans 24 (actual 21) - wow I was super close. I surprise myself.
