[Ministry of Pain]

Don't forget to set those clocks to 6am on the West Coast?

Go!

 

[Insein]

Can't see a Dalton led Saints team pulling this out. Too many injuries.

[Pip's Invitation]

Picked up the Minny D in my 16-team league for this matchup.

 

[rockaction]

This thing on yet?

I can't sleep, darn it. Be nice for a 1:30 A.M. PST start.

 

[TZMarkie]

Well the good news is.........for those that can't sleep, and ultimately tune in, remember its the Dalton-led Saints vs. The Vikings.
I figure by the start of the 2nd quarter you will be soundly catching up on your sleep.

 

[FairWarning]

Could Dalton be any worse than Winston?

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I'm rolling out the Saints' D in this one. No guts, no glory - right?

 

[FairWarning]

Sky Sports is showing the game in England, they have NFL coverage on now. Their perspective is pretty interesting.

 

[skol asylum]

Vikings historically seem to fold against backup QBs, so that's wonderful.

 

[massraider]

This is the 2nd time Dalton meets Cousins in London.

In 2016 Bengals and Redskins meet in London. As with any game starring these two QBs, there were NO winners. Final score: 27-27.

(London crowd: "a match with no winners? Oh we understand that!")

 

[Insein]

Kamara out. Winston out. Thomas out. I can't see the Saints scoring more than 10 points.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Was just coming to post that Kamara is OUT and I didn't know he was a GTD or on the fence this week.

Shaping up to be a Vikings Blowout!

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Minny only giving 4 seems fishy. Free money?

 

[Rubi]

I'm going to use analytics to pick this one.
The game is in London. The Church of England renounced The Pope and Catholic Church(albiet many years ago),but some Saints may still hold a grudge.
The REAL Vikings once invaded England and killed a lot of people,so there may be some animosity lingering there.
Given all that in a cruel sort of way The Real Vikings had more success in England,so...

Vikings- 27
Saints- 17

 

[travdogg]

Could Dalton be any worse than Winston?

Yes, yes, he could. Especially since he won't have Thomas or Kamara.

This is probably a blowout. I'll say Vikings 34-14. Probably a great game for Dalvin Cook if he stays on the field.

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

$2 single-entry throwaway....

Cousins (CPT), Mattison, Olave, Thielen, Ingram.

Winston, MT, Kamara out.

 

[Mongidig]

The fans are already drinking and it’s only 6:30 in the morning

Really what has Kamara done though? Thomas hasn’t done that much either. Dalton “shouldn’t” force the throws that Winston has.

120 yards and a TD per game between them.

Dalton just isn't very good anymore in my opinion. 2018 was the last season he was any good.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I dig those black helmets the Saints are wearing. Should be matte finish though.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

3 targets for Jefferson already. 2catches and a defensive penalty.

He’s going off today.

Sacrilegious

 

[travdogg]

It always blows my mind when guys like Kupp or Jefferson get matched up against LBs. That should be impossible and is just bad defense. Running full zones against guys like that is just asking for trouble.

 

[Capella]

Wow the saints helmet and uniform combo

From your lips to Alanis Morissette's ears, I hope so.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Better than the Minnesota Barneys.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

That benefits… everyone who started Mattison despite Cook playing. Which is to say, those in 20-team leagues.

 

[Arctic Dawgs]

Mattison, On my bench for Singletary. Anyone have the guts to start him this week ??

ETA : 16 Team League

Benefits people facing Cook.

You don't like the Vikes look?

I thought the Saints were wearing Jags helmets at first

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I hate that rule

 

[Andy Dufresne]

It's 2:30 PM London time ya ignorant wretches. I bet your English is worse than your English too.

The all-purple doesn't work. Looks way better with the white pants.

Then again I am comparing him to the bears qbs. Anyone looks good.

 

[ChiefD]

Refs need to throw more flags. Give these international folk a true NFL experience.

I'm chuckling at the relatively raucous applause after each one.

 

[Insein]

Not feeling very good about starting Olave now. Dalton is not good.

 

[habsfan]

Trying to imagine what Dalton and Winston are talking about while staring into those tablets as if the answers are in there somewhere.

 

[rockaction]

Minnesota in a walk, folks. I don't see Andy Dalton mounting much of an offensive threat.

 

[rockaction]

LOL. Just LOL. "Maybe if we stare harder we'll see an elliptical illusion or something cool!"

 

[Insein]

Dang didn't think the dude was that injured.

 

[MikesVikes]

Locally they were saying Kamara could look better with Dalton dumping off passes. Too bad Kamara isn’t in there.

 

[Weebs210]

The good one opponent started kamara.

The bad one opponent had the balls to start Mattison
