We know most people are already sick of "Pants on the Ground," but we had to put up that picture tweeted by Visanthe Shiancoe, who said someone sent it to him. That's fairly hilarious.

But if looking at a picture isn't enough, here are some Vikings thoughts to take you into the weekend:

*Football Outsiders ran the numbers and came out with a 50/50 split on who will win between the Vikings and Saints. The caveat, they warned, is injuries. If Percy Harvin isn't on the field, that could be a pretty big deal. (Link via Sassbottom).

*What is the price of Vikings fandom? (From reader Luke).

*Prediction: Vikings 38, Saints 27. MISSION MIAMI.
