Week 15 of pro football season sees the 10-3 Saints visit the 2-11 Minnesota Vikings in an NFC game between a Super Bowl champ and a team playing out the string. The game should be one with a good bit of scoring.
College football odds
The Saints are in nice form with a five game winning streak. The offense is humming along with Brees threatening to break Dan Marino’s all time passing yardage record for one season. The offense has a lot of skilled participants it is not funny. If the Saints have one deficiency, it’s their defense. The weak link of the team is the defense. Regrettably for Minnesota, they do not have the means to reap some benefits from it.

It’s not going well for the Minnesota Minnesota Vikings, who are in a transition year. On offense, the Minnesota Vikings are trying to break in rookie qb Christian Ponder. Ponder has displayed occasions of brilliance and occasions of shear incompetence, as with all rookie qbs. Don’t anticipate any big highlights out of the Minnesota Vikings passing game, as he’s on a tough run at the moment and was sidelined for a bit a week ago.
If there is any good news for the Minnesota Vikings, it’s the fact they’ll have the best running back in the sport back in the lineup. Adrian Peterson returns from an ankle sprain, but one has to wonder why the Minnesota Vikings are putting him back in the lineup with the season lost and reports indicating he is only 85 percent well. One can envision Christian Ponder is mighty happy to see him back though!
The Saints are favored by 7 points in this game. Over anything, this is a statement on the condition of the Saints defense. Still, it’s tough to see a restricted Adrian Peterson and rookie qb being able to maintain on the scoreboard with the Saints offense. The Saints look primed to win this game big, which makes the relatively modest 7 point spread pretty surprising.
