7. Wow, I'm surprised Lynch isn't playing Sunday.

I'll stick with Seahawks but I think it's going to be a close game.

I read that the way the stadium is built in Minneapolis, the Vikings offense will play most of the game in sunny and warmer weather (where it feels like 10 degrees or so) and the Seahawks will play mostly in the shade (where it will feel like 10 below).

I have no idea how that or the weather could affect the game. But Peterson rushes for way more yards at home than away.

A lot better than the Seahawks record sub-zero, lovemydog Jan 2016 #12
My point is, this is a strawman. Neither team has played in this weather. WhaTHellsgoingonhere Jan 2016 #19
