Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh, Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings head to Heinz Field to take on the the defending Super Bowl Champion Steelers.

Pittsburgh is usually known for it's defense, but Sunday the Vikings might be worried more about Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers offense. Favre and Roethlisberger will be the focal points in their first career meeting, where Minnesota will likely need a better effort from its defense to stay perfect.

NFL odds makers are calling the Steelers the favorite in this one. The Vegas line is sitting at, Pittsburgh -6 with the total in the game set at 46.

In Minnesota, all the hype might be surrounding Brett Favre, but the Vikings offense is all about running back Adrian Peterson. He leads the NFL with 624 rushing yards and has seven touchdowns.

Not to be outdone, Favre has done more than hand him the ball and get out of the way. The three-time MVP is the league's third-highest rated passer and has thrown 12 touchdown passes with just two interceptions.

Big Ben Roethlisberger is have a good season thus far himself. He is second in passing yards per game, and is right behind Favre in passer rating.

The question for the Steelers will be whether or not they can protect the quarterback. Roethlisberger has been sacked 155 times since the beginning of 2006, by far the most in the NFL and the Vikings are tied for the league-lead with 21.

I like the things that the Vikings have been doing. I just don't see the Steelers covering the 6 points. This game is going to be close.

Take the Vikings getting the points on the road.
