Right at this moment it is right on 0 degrees with a 18 mph wind where I live. That is what it is supposed to be for the Vikings game on Sunday. It isn't that bad. I will probably have to trade in my windbreaker for my spring/fall jacket.

I don't know.
I've heard it mentioned though this week, possibly playing a different venue or day.
It think on such short notice already it would be a logistics nightmare and won't happen.

Not going to happen for many reasons. TV advertising already sold and scheduled. Air time allotted. If rescheduled for later date the next 3 weeks of playoffs would need to be altered to give winner of Vikes/Seattle equal preparation time. That is not going to happen. If half of Congress was killed in some big airplane crash the Vikes would still host the Hawks on Sunday at noon. A little cold is nothing.

The biggest reason the Pats and the Packers have been in the playoffs so much is that the divisions they play in have both been pathetic for the last decade. Somebody has to win the division. Pack has a pile of injuries this year - again. So do the Pats for that matter. Sometimes there just gets to be too many injuries and even Brady/Rodgers can't find a way. I doubt very much if the Pats are going far this post season either. Both the Pats and the Packers have very high expectations every year and so do their fans. It just doesn't work that way.

The reason the packers and pats have won the division so many times is simple.,,,,great QB play.

Heck the bears went 10-6 in that division when lovie got fired and didnt even make the playoffs.

take away brady and rodgers/favre and they are really mediocre.

And i know some are going to say well cassel went 11-5, but look at that roster. its loaded with HOF and pro bowl players. same one that went 17-0 with brady.

Another thing is look at vegas lines, when rodgers went out a few years ago, lines changed over 10 points. any other position doesnt even change the line, like jordy nelson.

You got to be kidding??? There is no crying in baseball & no change of venue in NFL football due to cold weather. All home Viking games have been outside & too bad they are going inside next year. This game will be played so pull up your longjohns and tackle somebody.

Welp im going to make my predictions

KC at Houston= KC

KC on the road but a hot team. KC has better QB, both good D's. Think it maybe close but ill take the better coach and QB to win

Pitt at Cincy=Pitt

This one to me is kinda a coinflip. I think Cincy has one of the best rosters in the NFL but the QB is weak sauce, well at least we think. maybe AJ mcarron can surprise some people. I would feel better about this pick if Dalton was playing. cincy has lost last 5 i think playoff games. Not surprised that pitt is favored in vegas. Once again ill take the better coach and QB combo.

Seattle at Minn=Seattle

This one for me is logically easy(But its the NFL). Minn doesnt play well in the spotlight, and they are going up against one of the big boy teams in NFL. I think Seattle not only has a clearly better roster, but also coach and QB, and they are hot and confident. Only thing helping minn is they are at home. Big players play big in big games. I don't think minn scores more than 13 points.

Pack at Skins= Packers

Logically no one in the right mind would pick the packers after how they closed the season out. Cousins is hot, Rodgers cold. Packers Oline and WR's playing bad, defense is mediocre. They are on the road. Skins play well at home. But this one im throwing the logic out and going with a gut feeling. packers show up and Rodgers outplays cousins to win.

Yup, Yup, Yup but then Nope. Don't think Rodgers can just turn it on at will.
