What happening?

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: These are two evenly matched teams, and many believe the hometown noise in the Superdome will take the Saints to their first Super Bowl. In fact, the Vikings plan to wear ear plugs, especially the offensive linemen and QB Brett Favre, knowing how loud the dome will be.

Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams plans to blitz Favre as much as possible, hoping to put him on the ground as his unit did Kurt Warner last weekend. Of course, the big hit on Warner was Bobby McCray’s block when Warner was chasing one of his interceptions.

However, too much blitzing could open up running lanes for Adrian Peterson, who has been a marked man for opposing defenses. Peterson has gone eight straight games without reaching 100 yards, and his longest run during that span was 23 yards against a horrible Giants defense. The Saints allowed 122 yards rushing a game this season and aren’t known as a good tackling team.

But the Saints do feast on turnovers, +11 on the season in the takeaway department; the only problem there: Minnesota was the NFL’s third-best team protecting the ball this season with just 18 turnovers in 17 games.

On offense, New Orleans plans on using an up-tempo style, maybe even going no-huddle occasionally. There is no doubt New Orleans has a better group of receivers than the Cowboys, and Drew Brees wants to exploit a shaky Minnesota secondary.

The Vikings sacked Tony Romo six times last Sunday, but DE Ray Edwards has a sprained knee. Yes, he will start, but he probably won’t last and he won’t be as quick off the ball. Still, the Saints must protect LT Jermon Bushrod from being dominated by Vikings DE Jared Allen. Look for TEs Jeremy Shockey and David Thomas to help against Allen.

When the Saints lost veteran FB Heath Evans in October, they lost their best blocking running back. The Vikings want to force the Saints’ running backs to block by collapsing the middle of the pocket with Kevin and Pat Williams. If that happens, Brees may struggle to find his passing lanes.

To combat the rush, Saints RB Reggie Bush needs to be a factor like he was against the Cardinals. Getting Bush the ball in open spaces is critical to the Saints in their early possessions. In that regard, Brees wants to exploit Minnesota rookie MLB Jasper Brinkley, who is a liability in pass coverage, and also SS Tyrell Johnson.
