Minnesota and Baltimore will clash Sunday in a match-up that is certain to leave both teams as purple as their uniforms.
Minnesota is perfect through five games thanks to the dynamic duo of Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson. As long as Old Grey Beard can stay healthy, this offensive will keep defenders on their toes all season. Peterson will have his work cut out for him this week going against a defense that allows only 76 rush yards per game.
The Ravens' rushing attack has actually outpaced Peterson to begin the season. Running backs Willis McGahee and Ray Rice are mowing over defenses in a fashion that would make John Deere proud. But it will be up to Joe Flacco to bounce back from an off game in order to beat the Vikings. Minnesota is vulnerable to the pass and they will dare Flacco to challenge them.
Both Baltimore and Minnesota are elite teams in their respective conferences. Ultimately, it will come down to which defense can manufacture the most stops. Baltimore has an advantage in that department and this game. The Ravens will win in a classic slugfest.
