Minnesota at Carolina

Minnesota won last week. Whop-tee-do. Pardon my french but, they still suck. Don't let last week's last-second win over a terrible opponent fool you. All that win did was ensure that Carolina doesn't overlook the Vikings here on Sunday. Delhomme will be back for this one and with him in the lineup, this is a very solid ballclub. In their three road games this season, Minnesota has been beaten by an average score of 32-7. Of his 12 interceptions, Culpepper has through 9 of them in those games. The 25th ranked Vikings defense is just what the doctor ordered for Carolina. Steve Smith will eat them up and Stephen Davis should finally have a breakout game as the Panthers come into this one well rested off their bye. One star on the Panthers minus the points.
