Not saying the Vikes will win but I didn't think the Chiefs looked all that great on Sunday

If that includes the pre game id likely be passed out before second half  kickoff.

I have no idea how this game will go. None. My guess is Reid is going to have a top notch gameplan for the Flores D. 

Too bad Chris Tomasson still didn't work in Minnesota, could have sat him next to Taylor in the suite.

So you DO have an idea of how this game will go. B) If the Vikings don't shoot themselves in the foot it should be a very good game.

Prediction: Flores blitzes less in this game than any other all year.

Bucs had better wr's than what Mahomes has to throw to. 

But they got that nifty RB, Reid and of course a generational QB and TE .

They have a Rookie WR Rashee Rice who has been on the verge of separating from the rest of his position group. I would guess this is his first big week.

Sounds like most Viking fans are vastly overrating the Chiefs. I think the line should be around 3.5 and wouldn't be surprised if that's where it goes by Sunday.

I might be overrating KC, but mainly because I think their strengths match up well with our weaknesses.  I think their passing game will work, and that sets up their running game.  Their D also has a pass rush that will keep Cousins off balance.  If the Vikes get behind early, then we won't have a running game either.

Sadly, I think the Vikes lose by 10, at least.  Hope I'm wrong and the Vikes pull off the upset - SKOL!

If they can take away Kelcie and contain Mahomes and make the other guys on offense beat them, the Vikings have a good chance to get the win.

I like our secondary against their receivers, provided we don't blitz Mahomes too much. Mahomes is not a guy you blitz. Have to hope that Hunter and Davenport can get some pressure. I also like Cousins ability to move the ball on their good but not great defense, provided Chris Jones isn't in his face all afternoon. 

Which brings up what I don't like. Chris Jones against our IOL. He's not the kind of fatty Bradbury always struggled with, but he's a quick and savvy pass rusher who will likely have Ingram's head spinning. Might be a good time to see if Risner's not doing anything Sunday. Kelce against our safeties and linebackers, who don't cover particularly well. And of course Mahomes ability to escape on 3rd down and kill you with 30 yard runs. 

Still, this is a very beatable team...if'n of course we don't keep shooting ourselves in the foot.

vastly?  defending SB champs, SB champs 2 of the last 4 years,  AFC champs 3 of the last 4 years, best QB in the league,  top 10 offense, top 10 defense  playing a team that has 1 win in 4 tries coming from behind against a still winless team.    The Vikings can certainly win this game,  but lets be honest about what team is being vastly overrated.

you must be dyslexic,  let me help you.  the Chiefs record this year is three wins and one loss,  the Vikings record this year is one win and three loses.  The Chiefs are outscoring their opponents by an average of 10 points per game.  The Vikings are being outscored on average of about one point two five points per game.  I know you are a closet donkeys fan,  and the hatred runs deep,  but lets not let math sully your reputation.
