The matchup similarities are very similar but I'll take our offense winning in a shootout over their offense anyday of the week. Their defense will make some big plays, but as long as we don't beat ourselves, we should come out on top. I'm betting that Andy is pushing penalties and ball security this week.

We definitely didn't have a "cushy" road to the Superbowl if you include what it took for us to secure the #1 seed. Our last 6+ games was the hardest stretch any team has ever faced so late in the season.
Minnesota's defense is pretty damn good too. The way their safety's and linebackers were playing was light-years better than anything else we saw all year long. Their flaw was selling out against the pass and never waviering from it. Once Kyle realized it, he just ran the ball over and over.
