Game of the week preview

In a battle of the unbeatens, Minnesota Vikings travel to the Carolina Panthers in what has become a highly anticipated match up. Although both teams are 12-0, they both feature completely different play styles. The Vikings prefer to control the ball on offense while relying on their defense to force TO's and 3 n outs. The Minnesota D is 2nd in PPG despite giving up 37, 32 and 20 points while the star DE's were on suspension. Lining up against the Vikings defense will be the #1 offense in the NFL (YPG) led by Cam Newton and the twin towers Devin Funchess and Kelvin Benjamin at WR. The run n gun offense will be tough to stop but the Vikings have been chirping all week. Speaking with Danielle Hunter in walk-around this morning, he personally guaranteed that "Cam won't step foot in the end zone". Strong words from a strong man. o_O

Another match up worth watching is how the Panthers secondary, ranked 31st, holds up against Bridgewater's passing attack. If the Vikings can put some points on the board, it could get ugly quick. However, turnovers have been an issue at times. Look for one or two plays to determine the outcome of this showdown.
