Looks like it's Minny

If Minny was smart they would use Mckinnon instead of AP.

The Seahawks Defense is a nightmare matchup for the Vikings. The Hawks have the speed and lateral quickness to be able to neutralize Adrian Peterson ... and one of the best secondaries in NFL history.

Adrian Peterson's History vs. Seahawks Defense ...

12/6/15 (at Minnesota)... 8 carries ... 18 rushing yards ... 2.3 yards/carry (longest run was 5 yards) ... 0 TD
11/17/13 (at Seattle) ... 21 carries ... 65 rushing yards ... 3.1 yards/carry (longest run was 13 yards) ... 0 TD
11/4/12 (at Seattle) ... 17 carries ... 182 rushing yards ... 10.7 yards/carry (longest run was 72 yards) ... 2 TD
11/22/09 (at Minnesota) ... 24 carries ... 82 rushing yards ... 3.4 yards/carry (longest run was 16 yards) ... 0 TD

Peterson simply isn't the back that he was a few years ago ... and even when he was, history clearly shows that the Seahawks for the most part have had his number. Outside of Peterson, the Vikings simply don't have the weapons nor the QB to be able to effectively challenge that secondary once the Seahawks have made them one dimensional yet again. I'm liking that matchup very much. My father-in-law is a born and raised Minnesota guy and a die hard Vikings fan. I'm very much looking forward to this weekend just to hear his reactions alone.

No disrespect of Minny as all playoff games are tough. With that said, the Seahawks match up much better with Minny than the Skins. Minny is built on ball control, so much like last time, force them to play from behind is in the Hawks favor.

Teddy Bridgewater's hand size: 9 1/4
Russell Wilson's hand size: 10 1/4

Gonna be chilly next Sunday....the QB's handling of the ball will be critical! Bridgewater dang near gave the game away at the end when the ball slipped out on a handoff.

1:05 p.m. ET: No. 6 Seattle (10-6) at No. 3 Minnesota (11-5), TCF Bank Stadium (NBC). The Seahawks took their turn as The NFL’s Unstoppable Team, beating up the Cardinals 36-6 on Sunday. You wonder how much motivation Arizona really had, knowing it had already clinched a bye week. The Cards certainly didn’t play with the urgency we’re accustomed to seeing in a Bruce Arians team. The Vikings, meanwhile, rolled to a 20-3 lead at Green Bay and seem to be a more diverse team than the one that got steamrolled by the Seahawks 38-7 at Minnesota a month ago. “Our confidence is pretty high,” Adrian Peterson said from Green Bay early this morning, before the Vikes returned home to prepare for the first outdoor playoff game in Minneapolis since 1976. “This feels like a real changing of the guard [with Minnesota and Green Bay].” Maybe. But it had better be a changing of the guard with Seattle from a month ago if the Vikings are to advance. Seattle outgained Minnesota 433-125 that afternoon and could have Marshawn Lynch (hernia) back for the first time in eight weeks. This needs to be an Adrian Peterson game. Minnesota has to play keepaway from Russell Wilson, who’s on the hottest streak of his career.

One picky point: Seattle will be playing this game at 10:05 a.m. Pacific, and a win would send the Seahawks to Carolina for another 10:05 a.m. PT game a week later. Not very favorable scheduling for the NFC champs two years running.

The weather.

Long range forecast shows 12 degrees for kickoff with a windchill of about 0. Expect a lot of turnovers with a frozen ball and frozen hands.
