Week 11 preview: Vikings v. Seahawks

This week the Vikings host the 3-6 Seattle Seahawks, and are looking for their 9th win on the season. The Seahawks are lead by their QB Matt Hasselback who has a pathetic 58% completion percentage and no single receiver who has more than 600 receiving yards. Their starting running back, Julius Jones doesn't have 400 yards on the ground this year. To add to this he is out for Sunday's game with a chest injury. The back-up, Justin Forsett, has just under 250 yards on the year.

The Vikings, on the other hand, have the NFL's highest rated passer and the NFC's top receiver and running back in Favre, Rice and Peterson. The Vikings high powered offense will tear through the average-to-below-average Seahawks defense. Peterson will go for 150, Favre for 200+, and Harvin will take a kick back to the house for a TD.

Jared Allen, Kevin and Pat Williams and Ray Edwards will totally dominate the weak Seattle offensive line. The Vikings defense leads the league in sacks this season and should hold the Seahawks down while the offense nails shut their coffin to another terrible season.

ESPN's Madden '10 simulation game has the Vikings "annihilating" the Seahawks 31-17. Although this weeks game seems to be a gimme, I wouldn't discount a close game if the Vikings play poorly. However, if the Vikings play even moderately well, they will destroy the sorry excuse for a football team From Seattle. Skol Vikings!
