The Saints host the NFC Championship game against the Vikings
Written by footballfan on January 23rd, 2010
Minnesota must be a bit worried about this game. They are certainly motivated. This is their first shot at a Super Bowl game since 1976, but playing in the Superdome is not going to make things that easy for the Vikings. Brett Favre and the team have been quite impressive at home this season. They are 9-0 and the veteran quarterback has thrown 25 touchdown passes and only 2 interceptions. Things in the road have not been as smooth: with a 4-4 record in hand, we are quite sure that the Vikings would have loved to play at the Metrodome.
The Saints, on the other hand, are having their best season ever. They have a good chance of making it into the Super Bowl for the first time. They are only one home game away from their trip to Florida. And if that is not motivation enough for the players to go out to the field and give us one heck of a game, they don’t belong in the NFL. No matter whom you are cheering for, this is going to be one hell of a match.
Favre is having his best season ever. Even more so if one considers that he wasn’t committed to play for the Vikings until just a couple weeks before the season’s start. He has enough experience to guide his team in this difficult game. But if we try to keep an objective eye on the game, the Saints have an amazing QB, and Minnesota’s defense is going to have to go on overdrive to control Pro Bowl quarterback Drew Brees. This is going to make for one great match-up.
Both teams won their previous games with some unexpected ease. Now they face each other for a spot in the big one.

As of press time, online sportsbook industry leader, Instant Actions Sports has made the New Orleans Saints Saints favorite by -3½ points on the spread. And while you are at it, don’t forget to visit the many different features and props that they have to offer. Its just a little example of what they will be offering for the Super Bowl.
The Vikings have a solid team. They have 9 Pro Bowl players, and are ranked 6th in the NFL for both offense and defense. They are going to face the top-ranked scoring offense in the league. It’s going to be a good game with a lot of activity close to the end zones. The combination Favre-Peterson-Rice could mean trouble for the Saints’ defense. But the Superdome is still one of those stadiums that can and will get loud, and can still give a significant advantage to home team. If Reggie Bush can perform like he did last week, well, he is certainly going to give his team a bit of an edge on the offense.
