Wow! Is it next year yet?

The Vikings will be eliminated from the playoffs with a loss on Sunday or a win by the Packers – the Vikings were eliminated from division title contention last week when Chicago won its ninth game. The Saints’ ninth win of the season took away one of their wild card opportunities and, with a Green Bay win Sunday, will be eliminated from the wild card chase.

Chances are good for a HUGE rematch!

Minnesota's Sunday blowout of the NY Giants accompanied with the Eagles loss to the Cowboys gave the Vikes a number-two seed and a first-round bye in the play-offs. But, check this out:

The Packers completely decimated the Cardinals yesterday, and they play them again next week in the first week of the playoffs. Even if the Cards play a bit better with all their starters playing, Green Bay should still pull out the win.

The Cowboys and Eagles play once again as well. And even though the Cowboys won yesterday, the Eagles are still, in my opinion, the more explosive and experienced team. I foresee them winning this game.

Now, what would this do? Well, since the Eagles are the #6 team, a win by them would put them up against the #1 Saints. That leaves the Packers--winners of 7 of their last 8--to travel ONCE AGAIN to Minnesota. Brett came back at least in part to beat his former team. He's going to get his chance for the THIRD time in one year! This will be drama!!!

Were you by chance one of the 30 million?

It’s no wonder Favre won the NFC Offensive P.O.W. honor, because just about the entire football world was watching. After setting an all-time cable record for viewership of an NFL game in the their meeting on Monday Night Football on ESPN, the numbers for Sunday’s game were even more massive by comparison. The 30 million people that watched the game made it the second-most watched game in the history of FOX NFL broadcasts – trailing only the 32.1 million drawn by the Cowboys-49ers meeting in November 1995. How big was it? It drew the most viewers on any network since the Academy Awards in February. The prime-time portion of the game (after 6 p.m. local time) drew 39 million viewers and a whopping 37 share of the TVs in use. By comparison, Game 4 of the World Series in prime time drew 23.3 million viewers and a 22 share.

Who will win...

...the Teacher or the Student? Stay tuned to ESPN Monday Night Football tomorrow night!
