SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) -- No, the Minnesota Vikings are not in the Super Bowl Sunday.
But our esteemed panel of experts thinks had the Vikings actually shown up against the Philadelphia Eagles and won, they would beat the New England Patriots.
That's the consensus of what KWSN's John Gaskins, football blogger Dominique Clare, and KELO.com News news director Todd Epp think.
So, in that parallel universe, the Vikes win this weekend!
The trio also discussed the Vikings the quarterback situation, with Gaskins and Clare saying the Vikings should acquire Washington QB Kurt Cousins, while Epp thinks the Purple and Gold should stick with his fellow Houston Cougars grad Case Keenum.
Oh, and what do the guys think about the Big Game?
The hated Patriots beat the equally hated Eagles (because they are mean to Minnesota fans).
