Minnesota Vikings are on top of the NFC North and hold the No.3 spot on the power rankings this week, they look like one of the favorites to win the superbowl this season and after all they are undefeated and they play like I have never seen them before, they are all killing themselves to deserve what they want which is always the right attitude. QB Brett Favre can’t be happier with his team, he feels in his words that the Vikings are the most professional squad he has ever been in and that is something to consider from a superbowl ring holder. Favre’s numbers are good, 12 tds and only 2 interceptions with 14 sacks, this might be something they can readjust, Favre is 40 and he can’t take that many hits, the offensive line needs to do a better job protecting the QB. Favre has been able to put 30+ points on every single game and that is incredible, making him look good he has WR Sidney Rice, WR Percy Harvin (questionable for next sunday), RB Adrian Peterson (probable for next sunday) and RB Chester Taylor. Besides all this set backs the Vikings are more than ready to try to beat the Steelers, they are confident they can do it on the road as well as they do it at home, looks like the key rests in Brett Favre’s arm and he has proven he can deliver when he’s called, also with Peterson running they way he has so far and with Rice catching everything Favre throws they will have a great time beating the Steelers.

Pittsburgh Steelers are on top of the AFC North with a record of 4-2, still early to tell but this Steelers don’t look at all like the ones from last season, they are not even close to be fairly honest. QB Ben Roethlisberger has been performing good this season, 10 tds and 6 interceptions are not all that flashy but he has performed well under pressure and he has been able to convert 72.5% which is great. Both games the Steelers lost were on the road and by a field goal so Ben has been doing his job, he needs help from his defense and he needs it now more than ever. Helping Ben the Steelers have RB Rashard Mendenhall, RB Willie Parker, WR Hines Ward and WR Santonio Holmes, although they are not a huge scoring offense they can handle the pressure and they can get the job done. Adding to all this S Troy Polamalu is probable for this upcoming game, he will be able to help alot, Pittsburgh really needs him. The Key on this game will be the defense to stop Brett favre’s offense, if the capture him enough times the old guy might get ansy and he will get rid of the ball faster, making more mistakes.

THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO SEE TWO OF THE BEST QBS OF THE LEAGUE FACING EACHOTHER, IN MY OPINION THE EXPERIENCE THAT FAVRE HAS WILL BE A PLUS FOR THE CHALLENGE. THE PICK OF THE GAME WILL BE MINNESOTA VIKINGS +4.
