Wilson not only played for the University of Wisconsin, his Badgers won the Big10 Conference Championship and he also set the FBS record for passing efficiency (191.8).  So I doubt passing in sub zero temps is going to be a new experience for him. 

I suspect Vikings will make this meeting more of contest than the previous time, but thinking the cold weather is going to hamper Wilson more than the Minnesota players is wishful thinking at best.

November ain't January.

I wouldn't hang my hat on that happening, but it may be the best the Vikings can hope for,  because it is unlikely Bridgewater is going to put the team on his back and carry them to victory.

Lol Bridgewater would need Seahawks players over looking the Vikings as much as their fans are

A couple of days ago, the predicted high was 12 degrees.

Now the predicted high is sitting around 0 degrees.

Its a helluva thing playing a full, physical game outdoors in weather like that, then (possibly) having to travel coast to coast a week later.  I've never lived in those kind of colder climbs, but it HAS to take more of a physical toll out of you because you add the effort of just staying warm to the effort of the exercise.

Our guys were beat up after the cold weather game in New York. No doubt we came out a bit soft against the Falcons. I see cold weather as more of a factor in the following week's game, as weird as that sounds.

Russel Wilson has operated at peak efficiency the last few weeks. His completion % is almost 70% and he has the highest passer rating in the NFL. Furthermore, Wilson passed for 3 TDs with a 146 passer rating in the first game vs the Vikings, allowing the Seahawks to lead 21-0 at halftime and the Vikings basically quit after that. I'm getting a 2013 Panthers/Saints vibe from this game. Saints scored 31 points in the comfy Superdome, then only scored 13 in the rainstorm in Carolina. The weather is going to have a HUGE negative impact on the Seahawks. It's going to keep the score low, thereby keeping the Vikings in the game. The Vikings don't pass downfield efficiently anyways, so the weather isn't nearly a negative for them.

I just don't see a great enough disparity between these two teams when it comes to dealing with low temperatures that it will ultimately swing the odds in the Vikings favor.

I have been known to be wrong on occasion, so they will just have to play the game so we can find out for sure.

Fortunately, the Vikings will be running AP instead of AD. AP will likely exceed 20 yards.

His nickname is AD only stoops say AP
