He is playing as well as ever, and they aren't using his arm too much. They don't have to though as this years Vikings are probably the best team he has ever had. The talent is impressive. I watched the Saints eat the Pats up last night, and that was tight meeting flat. The Pats defense has been plugged up with new guys who don't work yet. I really don't think they could do that to the Vikings defense. And I don't think they could stop Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor. I pick the Vikings to beat the Saints. The biggest weakness the Vikings have is Brad Childress. If they get to the super bowl - and they can - then they run the risk of being out-coached. But Favre is surprisingly good.
