SI story on if the Vikings are in the Super Bowl

Bovada sports line still has them holding firm at -4 favorite.

Very neat. I liked the part about the former president.

This is part of why I have no doubt that the NFL wants the Vikings to lose and the eagles to win just in case the Vikings should happen to overcome the saints and the officials.

The ticket price for the Vikings in the superbowl will exceed last year's record.  The NFL definitely wants that

Behind the scenes stuff is interesting.  Won't the new digs be ready for them to practice in?

I was talking to my buddy last night about whether or not the NFL wanted the Vikings in the big show.
I came up with a theory that makes legit sense as to why they would want the Vikings in. Minnesota isn't going to be the draw and destination that NO is or that Florida is, so how are they going to get the streets filled on cold days with people, how are they going to get festivities of normal Super Bowl fluff when less travelers that will want to come to the frozen state?
Easy answer for me. If there's any time they would want the home team to be in the Super Bowl it would be this year in Minnesota. The Vikings will make up for the fact that people aren't going to come here for a vacation for a Super Bowl. The Vikings will make up for the lack of tourists if you will. They will bring in a crowd that IMO will be much less of a draw than a southern Super Bowl
