 Yes indeed. How cool? The Vikings pick up another win. Now 2 and 0 and leading the NFC North. What a good game, and a great 3rd quarter. Favre, Peterson, Harvin, all the guys played a good overall game. So now bring to the table San Francisco and wait for the feast.

The Minnesota Vikings open up the season in Cleveland against one of the weaker teams in the league, the Browns. Now in the Vikings season opener all eyes will be on Brett Favre. Brett Favre is making his first stint as the Vikings quarterback this game and expect him to impress. The Browns on the other hand don't even have a starting quarterback...or do they? Browns Head Coach Eric Mangini said that he knows whether Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson will start in this game but he just doesn't want to make it public to hold an advantage over the Vikings. Smart decision by Coach Mangini but no matter which one is playing, Jared Allen, Kevin Williams and Pat Williams are still coming to play.
Three KEYS to Victory
1)Brett Favre must come- I think that for in order the Vikings to pull this game out Brett Favre must bring his A game. Not only does this take eyes off of All-Pro Running Back Adrian Peterson but it also means the passing game is clicking as well.

2)Pressure Quinn/Anderson- Whether Quinn or Anderson is playing in this game I think either would come to play so we can't give them all day to pass. This will be a crucial part of winning this game. Jared, Kevin, Pat and Ray must continuously knock down the QB and bruise them up for 60 minutes.

3)Special Teams defending- We all know what problems the Vikings had last year covering kicks and punts, and with pro bowl returner Josh Cribbs back there it really doesn't help. The Vikings special teams coverage must shut down Cribbs and not let him get loose.

Those are my three keys in order for a Vikings week one win and I think every one will get done and get done right.

My choice- Vikings over Browns by 9

Someone's got to make comment.  What Favre brings to the QB position only solidifies this team.  What's a defense going to do?  Stack the box - Favre can beat you with is arm.  Play the pass - All Day breaks it open.  Imagine Berrian and Harvey split wide with Taylor at split, All Day single back - who do you cover?  Watch out for Shianco up the middle - Favre loves him some tight ends....
