I'd welcome a match-up with the Packers whether it's here or there.

They're such a fraud team regardless of what their record says. Rodgers is maybe above-average now. Their defense has regressed from good to average at best from week 1 until now.

I think we can beat them at US Bank then turn around 2 weeks later and beat them again where ever it is.

The Vikings aren't exactly beating the socks out of other teams either.  It's going to be a tough matchup either way.

Which is the reason why i would prefer playing GB. I don’t think MN stands much of a chance against Seattle, San Francisco or New Orleans, neither does GB, but I don’t see why MN can’t beat Green Bay or the NFC East winner. MN and GB are both flawed teams and probably as even as can be.

I'm down with playing the pack multiple times in the next 3 weeks

Looking at the 49ers schedule, It wouldn’t be too surprising to see the Vikes with the fifth seed, playing the NFC East winner, probably the Cowboys in the WC round.

To me, this is the most ideal of the realistic scenarios:

1. Seattle
2. New Orleans
3. Green Bay
4. Philadelphia
5. Minnesota
6. San Francisco

Out of that field, I'd say only the Eagles don't have a realistic chance at making a deep playoff run. New Orleans looks the most complete to me, but Brees is clearly on the decline and I wouldn't be surprised if they were upset.

Based upon how the last time the Vikings played the Cowboys, I'd actually rather play at Lambeau or the Superdome.

1. Seattle Seahawks 11-3 (vs. Cardinals, vs. 49ers) Control their destiny for #1 seed.

2. Green Bay Packers 11-3 (@ Vikings, @ Lions) NFCN showdown, need to lose out to lose the NFCN.

3. New Orleans Saints 10-3 (vs. Colts, @ Titans, @ Panthers) Win or lose tonight they will still be the #3 seed.

4. Dallas Cowboys 7-7 (@ Eagles, vs. Redskins) Big win against the Rams. Will they show up against Philly?

5. San Francisco 49ers 11-3 (vs. Rams, @ Seahawks) Upset against Falcons could cost them a BYE and HFA.

6. Minnesota Vikings 10-4 (vs. Packers, vs. Bears) Take care of our business and the chips fall where they fall.

7. Los Angeles Rams 8-6 (@49ers, vs. Cardinals) Go 49ers, I'd rather get our spot locked up then have to "worry" about the Rams.

8. Chicago Bears 7-7 (ESPN has them at this spot even though they're eliminated.)

9. Philadelphia Eagles 7-7 (vs. Cowboys, @ Giants) NFCE showdown this weekend.
