Week 12 Vs Vikes - Pregame

Pre-game predictions:

• I'll go out on a limb here and say that Droughns might have a good day against the Vikings' #1 run defense. It could be that they're #1 because you can throw against them all day. If they give Reub 20-plus carries, he should be good. He's a pound-away type of guy, without the burst and flash that Jacobs gives you sometimes. You can get him down, but he'll get up and run again.
  
• If I'm right about the above, then Eli puts up modest numbers again. If they keep winning, I don't really care, but there are a lot of people who want to see Eli justify his number one pick-ness. Me, I'll take wins.
• Chester Taylor will rush for enough yards to justify people (um, me) starting him in fantasy formats. Adrian Peterson is having an MRI on Monday but ESPN quotes coach Brad Childress as saying that if it were a playoff game, Peterson would play. Good move, although if (when?) the Vikings lose today they aren't all that likely to make the playoffs. Even if they do make the postseason they aren't going anywhere, so why risk injury to a guy who looks like he could be one of the great RBs?

Almost game-time, be right back.
