Pre-Game:
Here comes another Sunday Night Football game for the Vikings. Hopefully, Minnesota has a better showing this go around than last time against the Cardinals. The Vikings are having a terrific year, just as I predicted before the season started. That’s right, I predicted the old man Brett Favre to lead his team to the Super Bowl. They have a ways to go yet, but I like how they are playing and their chances. The Vikings crushed the Bengals last week, beating them 30-10 in Minnesota. I do like the point spread odds set by the Bodog football betting site. The Panthers on the other hand lost to the Patriots last week, 20-10, and deflated their balloon of having any hopes to making the playoffs.
Minnesota Vikings:
Basically, the main reason why the Vikings are 11-2 going into Week 15 is they are ranked 2nd in the NFL in total points per game at 29.9 points. When you score almost 30 points per game, you are going to have a great year. The main reason why they are scoring so many points is Brett Favre, he opens up their entire offense. Another thing to look out for is that Adrian Peterson will play even better these last 3 games and especially when the postseason rolls around. It’s going to be awful tough to stop Minnesota this year, and if their defense can pick it up one more notch they will be unstoppable even against the Colts and Saints.
Carolina Panthers:
The Panthers just never seemed to find their stride throughout this season. Both their offense and defense has been playing below par, which has also led to many inconsistencies. Carolina’s offensive running game and their defensive passing game has given them their 5 wins, but they need much more than that to have a winning record. Hopefully, they will finish strong in the regular season to give them positive thoughts during the off-season.
Minnesota Vikings vs Carolina Panthers Prediction:
Sunday Night Football in Charlotte, Vikings vs Panthers. Minnesota has already clinched a wild card playoff spot, and with a win they will have clinched their division. The Vikings still have a backdoor chance at obtaining home field advantage throughout the postseason if they run the table and the Saints lose their remaining 3 games, which doesn’t look promising. Nonetheless, you will be seeing a quarterback legend, Brett Favre, playing in the postseason once again. For Carolina to have a good shot at beating the Vikings, they need to stop their running game, have a good offensive passing game, and continue having their own solid offensive running game and defensive passing game. In the end, I predict the Vikings to win this game easily and beat the point spread in a high scoring game.
