Can somebody explain to me how the Vikes are having trouble selling out a PLAYOFF game? I heard that if this is blacked out, it will be the first Viking blackout in over ten years, so it's not like they have trouble selling out the regular season, right?

I think that's going to be a really tight game. Baltimore thrives on turnovers. Miami has been exceptional protecting the ball, and I think they're content as hell to play field position all day and try to force Flacco into mistakes.

I do like all four road teams, though. With confidence:

1. Colts
2. Eagles
3. Ravens
4. Falcons

Part of me expects Zona to blow up and put up monster numbers, though.

Probably has something to do with higher priced tickets in a bad economy. If you're financially strapped, how much would you pay to see Tavaris Jackson throw into a hungry Eagles secondary?
