Minnesota has scored over 30 points it last two games but in Week 7 expect a low scoring output from an offense that arguably has the best runningback and quarterback combination in the NFL. Adrian Peterson and Brett Favre must continue their great play in order to beat the Steelers. Pittsburgh's defense is possibly the best defense that the potent Vikings' offense has face this season. The Ravens was a field goal short from beating Minnesota and their defense gave up 33 points.
I expect a lower scoring game and I expect the Vikings to get their first loss when facing the Steelers. Minnesota is scoring points but they are not stopping the opposing team for scoring. Vikings lucks runs out this week. Big Ben has shown that he can be star when the running game of Steelers is almost non-existent. If the Pittsburg Steelers play a good game from start to finish they have chance to get a victory. Steelers defense tend to lose focus in the 4th quarter and they struggle which usually let the opposing team back into a game. Brett Favre will make them pay if the Steelers allow the Vikings to hang around.
Other notable games would be the Atlanta versus Dallas, I am anxious to see how well the Cowboys actually handle one of the better teams in the NFL. Two weeks in a row Atlanta has brought their "A" game and beat some very good competitors. I picked Dallas to win the game and everyone can see in the table below, I provide my predictions for this week:
