Pittsburgh has done better in the areas that are most consistent week-to-week: yards/play for and against. Minnesota is 6-0 because of the big plays, turnovers and third-down percentage that tend to even out over the years. And the game is in Pittsburgh

Agree 100%.

Minnesota has not only played an easy schedule, they are just a few plays away from being 4-2.

You don't find many 6-0 teams that have been outyardaged on the season.

Plus +8 turnover ratio helps yhem out a ton.

Think this team gets steamrolled this weekend.

The Vikings dominated Baltimore for three quarters and let up, but won! They also took care of Green Bay a team that wanted to beat Brett bad!

Lets see who has pittsburgh beat tenn, detroit, cleveland and san diego and lost to cinn and chicago. Not very impressive.

The Vikings will shut down their running game and ben will pass.

Winfield being out will hurt the vikings, but Ben does like to hold the ball a while and he will get sacked, Allen is having a great year. Will the pressure cause turnovers?

The Vikings have scored 27 or more each game I would say that the over is the play.

Over 45 seems way too easy. Minn team total is 20.5. Seems bizarrely low to me. Minny hasn't been held under 27 yet. Pitt averaging allowing 20.5. I would have made this game Pitt -3-120 and 48.5. As long as Adrian Peterson is healthy I wouldn't hardly ever assume they get steamrolled, although I think they have a shaky secondary. I'm thinking something like 27-24 Pitt here.

I think this will be a really great game. However, I think the Vike prevail here. They aren't 6-0 for no reason and there's always the Bret Favre factor.

just to remind some of you guys, winning the TO battle is the most important statistic in football, and it's not based on luck either.

Anyhow, carryon

over............45 is about as high as you gonna get for a pitt game, and that ain't high enough.
