Curious to see who Vikes fans want as their opponent next week - Saints or Panthers.

Either way - I think they're toast setting up for a Eagles vs. Saints/Panthers NFC Title Game.

Sorry Mars......

I'd probably be rooting for the Panthers if I was you - but who knows - Cam has been there before and can be rather bipolar as a QB - can see him going in there and walking out with a win too.

Mars and I both agree we want the Panthers. Our loss to them earlier this year was pretty weird. Seemed more like an off day for the Vikes than the Panthers actually being that much better than us. Only game this year the Vikes players dropped balls like crazy.

I don't think the Panthers will win today, but like you, although it is more remote in terms of future opponents, I want the Panthers too, because they are definitely not as good as the Saints. So, I'm rooting for an upset of the lucky kind, maybe with some refereeing mistakes going their way, so that they survive.

But then in the possibility of a Panters/Vikings game I'd be rooting for the Panthers for the same reason; I'd rather face the Panthers than the Vikings, if it comes to that (we need to beat the Eagles first, of course, but frankly I think we'll do it relatively easily).

So if we take care of business as I expect, our adversary will be either the Panthers, the Saints, or the Vikings, and among these three, I much prefer the Panthers.

It is true, though, that Cam Newton is irregular and when he is on fire it is hard to stop him. So we can never entirely dismiss the Panthers.

But I think it won't come to that. They will probably lose today, especially after the news that five of their players are out sick with a contagious illness that is spreading among their players.

Now if it's Saints at Vikings, I'm really not sure. Which winner would be better for the Falcons? They are both tough. We are more familiar with the Saints, though. I think I'd root for the Saints. Not to forget, with one game separating the Vikings from the dream of playing a home-field Super Bowl, you guys will be on fire.
