Matchup
BONUS ANALYSIS: As we've seen this season it's not so much which team will show up (although they screw up a bunch too), but which Andy Reid will show up -- the idiot one or the sensible one. What worries me is Reid has the perfect excuse to repeat his insane Bengals and Redskins play calling performances against the Vikings because they have the top rated run defense in the league. But I watched a bunch of the Giants and Vikings game last week and the Giants were able to run the ball for 135 yards without Jacobs, with their backups playing the second half, and with nothing to play for. So the Eagles should also be able to run the ball so I don't want to hear any excuses later.
From the defense we should expect the same effort we've gotten the last couple weeks. The Vikings need big plays to score points and probably won't be able to sustain any long drives. All Minnesota really has is Adrian Peterson. Don't worry about him getting 5 yards here and 7 yards there, worry about him getting 50 yards here and 70 yards there. If you remember back to the regular season game last year, the Eagles limited him to 70 yards on 20 carries and no touchdowns. So Johnson will probably try and do what he did then along with confusing the hell out of Tavaris Jackson, who is hopefully this year's Shawn King.
BONUS QUESTION: Will any home team win on wildcard weekend?
