Well we know at this point that New Orleans and Indianapolis are on their way to their respective conference championships but their opponents are to be decided today. Hmm. . my picks thus are, let me see, Vikings and Jets! Yes, I’ll go against the grain and go with these two!! I’m a big Eagles fan so naturally Dallas is a hard sell, Polynesian Naufahu Tahi and I love Brett Favre.

NY Jets, obviously because UH Warrior Football assistant coach, Rich Miano, played for the Jets & Eagles but we have UH Alum #78 Wayne Hunter and fellow Polynesians, #91 Sione Pouha & #79 Ropati Pitoitua on the Jets squad.

Alright then, Go Vikings! and Go Jets!

Tonight on Monday Night Football (ESPN).

This is a no-brainer if you are a Brett Favre or Naufahu Tahi fan, it’s root for the Vikings. Auwe! Packers have no islanders on their roster. Naufahu looks questionable (back) before the game and running backs (Peterson & Taylor) may be seeing a majority of playing time. Let’s hope to see Naufahu working the backfield and Brett throwing like the last game for a Vikings victory.
