Skins Run Defense has given up 2 100 yard rushers this year. Unfortunately, one was last week (Jacobs 130). The "bend, don't break" mentality will not work with Adrian Peterson, as he will exploit holes in the defense faster than sulfuric acid. The front 7/8 are going to have to contain Peterson and Taylor and make Tavaris Jackson beat the Skins through the air...

Fortunately for the Skins, the Vikings pass offense is horrible to say the least. They were only able to come back last week because of how incredibly shitty the Bears have been this year.

The game rests on the shoulders of Todd Collins, who will have nearly ideal conditions inside the Homerdome. He is going to have to exploit the Vikings secondary, especially with no Antoine Winfield (although he's not on the injury report...). Vikes have the #1 rush defense, so if C-Po and Betts can get motoring, it could be a long day for the Purple Faithful.

No score prediction, just hoping for 2 wins on NBC in a row. "Now, here's a guy who likes to hope..."
