Football, ignore if you like.

Some thoughts on MIN v. DET this Sunday:

Vikings are 5-0 at Ford Field, and 10-0 in the last five years against the Lions... The Vikings had six picks against Jon Kitna last year, without the aid of a pass rush... Adrian Peterson is the top running back in fantasy football... Every year you hear faint whimperings of "the roar is restored" but the Lions keep stinking it up eventually... My prediction: Vikings 31, Lions 6

Other picks for this week:

PITTSBURGH over Buffalo, Houston over CAROLINA (upset special), JACKSONVILLE over Atlanta, New Orleans over TAMPA, Green Bay over NEW YORK GIANTS, ST LOUIS over San Francisco, Cincinnati over CLEVELAND, Indianapolis over TENNESSEE, Dallas over MIAMI, Seattle over ARIZONA, BALTIMORE over New York Jets, DENVER over Oakland, CHICAGO over Kansas City, NEW ENGLAND over San Diego, PHILADELPHIA over Washington
