Will be interesting to see how the week plays out and where the $$ is placed.

5. Minnesota Vikings2017 record: 9-2
Week 12 ranking: No. 4
Sam Bradford played well before his injury, and Case Keenum has been great with Bradford out. As a result, the Vikings have the best team Total QBR (74) this season. Give credit to the pass protection, too. The Vikings have allowed 12 sacks this year, tied for fewest in the NFL.


win 7 in a row and move down 4 spots.

Personally glad, I prefer Noon games.

Vikings quarterback Case Keenum has been on a roll, especially in the last three wins of Minnesota’s seven-game winning streak. Below are five numbers that stand out regarding his play:
8.9 yards: Only Philip Rivers (9.0) is averaging more yards per throw than Keenum’s 8.9 in the last three games, during which he’s posted three of the top 10 passer ratings (121.8 at DET, 100.8 vs. LA and 117.0 at WAS) of his six-year career. 

2 tipped passes: Defenses are tipping just two Keenum passes per game in the three kickoffs since the bye week. That is a big turnaround from the three games prior to the Vikings bye, when opponents were getting hands on an average of 6.6 throws per game. 
6 drops:The four targets accounting for the vast majority (75 percent) of the Vikings’ passing attack — Thielen, Diggs, tight end Kyle Rudolph and running back Jerick McKinnon — have accounted for just six drops this season. That’s a 2.1 percent drop rate that certainly is among the league’s best for an offense. 
133.9 rushing yards: Only once in the Vikings’ current seven-game winning streak has the offense not eclipsed 100 rushing yards. They’re averaging nearly 134 rushing yards per game during this stretch, which is pacing an offense that likes to create off play action. 
5.2 percent:Case Keenum’s sack rate when under duress is, by a significant margin, the league’s best. The Vikings offensive line is much improved, but Keenum should also get credit for his vision and athleticism to avoid would-be disaster scenarios and keep the next down manageable.

I know I shouldnt but I keep going there.
I am enjoying the season immensely and really like Case.  I am a fan of Teddy and Sam also.  I realize Case’s short comings but I really like watching him play.  The guy is a baller.  Reminds me of Chris Walsh.  But I keep wondering if he is the guy for the big game.  Im nearly 60 and have been a fan since I was 8 yo. I remember it all. No need to rehash it.  Many of you remember it all as well.

The season seems to be pretty clear with the Eagles and Vikings at the top of the NFC and the Steelers and Patriots at the top of the AFC. I dont expect much to change.  I cant help but wonder how the Vikings and Zimmer fare against Hoody and Brady.  Damn, I would love to beat them and doing it at home seems too much to hope for.

 I just have very little feel for how we match up against them.
