Playoff Picks
With Pittsburgh and Baltimore in their division, the Bengals' luck is the most likely of the current division leaders to run out.

Vikings Beware
Anything is possible in the NFL, just ask the Brett Favre and the 2008 New York Jets.

No one safe but Saints, Colts, Vikes
The two divisional leaders I have the least faith in at this point are in the West -- NFC West's Arizona and AFC West's Denver.

Not in the Cards
The one division leader that I don't see making the playoffs is the 4-3 Arizona Cardinals.

Strange Happenings This Season
More than one-third of the league is unbeaten or winless a quarter of the way into the season. That's not normal for the NFL.

The reason for the wide disparity in winning teams and losing ones comes down to one thing: quarterback play.

Not So Shocking
If there are still a few undefeated teams at week 12, or a few winless teams then, we can talk then.

So Far, So Good
The key for the Vikings offense, and for head coach Brad Childress in particular, is to make sure Favre holsters his heroics.

Favre Still Magic
Brett Favre has given them something they didn't have before; a chance at a comeback in every game they'll play in.

Bigger Than Brett
If one were to look at the main reasons for the Minnesota Vikings' 3-0 start to the 2009 season, Brett Favre would actually be a significant way down the list.

What the Vikes Needed
Brett Favre has been a good quarterback on what might be a great team. As a Packers fan, that makes me sick.

One-Third Responsible
Brett Favre isn't the only reason why the Vikings are 3-0, but he deserves considerable credit for at least one of their victories this season

Jets Fans Be Mad!
Favre jerked the Jets around just as much as he jerked the Packers around. Only the Packers will be a better team despite Favre's antics.

Waiting Game No Fun for Vikings
Brett Favre deserves to continue to play football, but not at the expense of ruining the team chemistry of the Minnesota Vikings.

Unretiring Ego
Suffice to say, the man loves the spotlight, and Brad Childress is desperate.

Favre Helps Vikes
Childress is gutless for allowing Brett to dictate when he showed up to play. That said, from a pure football standpoint, Favre makes the Vikings better.

Favre's a Selfish Jerk
I know they'll never say it on the record so I'll say it for Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels: Brett Favre is a jackass.

We understand that the chief motivator here may just be love of the game. But we love the game too, and we don't want to see you trip in the outfield. Again.

"I'll Hold the Ball, and You Kick It!"

A Comeback in Non-Sequential Bills, Please

Hamlet Worth the Drama
Let's all urge Favre to come back for the Vikings, so we can enjoy the best in reality TV.

Let It Go, Brett
After all the hype and fanfare, Favre's comeback would not be poignant or heroic. It would be like "Rocky" ... "Rocky 6."

Westbrook Coast Offense
Adrian Peterson is gearing up for his first playoff appearance in the NFL. Let's hope for his sake he doesn't fumble it away.

It's All About Touches
The Eagles can win this game without Westbrook. If Peterson doesn't get on track, it'll be a long day - All Day - for the Vikes.

Burner Is the Fantasy Man
Not that you'd go wrong selecting either, but "Burner" Turner is the better choice by the slimmest of margins.
By Gene Wang | December 18, 2008; 09:09 AM ET | Comments (0)
Yo, Adrian!
Unlike Turner, Peterson has the lateral movement, the speed and gets it done despite being the primary focus of every defense he faces.

Atlanta's Turner-round
You can't lose either way, so since it's a game of inches here, I'll go with Turner to cross the goal line first.
