I hope the Saints win, but I would not bet on the outcome of this game.

That was last year. This years Vikings are a year older at a lot of key positions, and I think Farve still isn't fully recovered from that final game. They also don't have their top receiver, and I don't know if Percy Harvin will be in peak form yet.
Simply put I have a lot more confidence in the Saints abilty to open the season at home with a win, than I do for a team like Miami to go on the road in a place where they've struggled at times in the past. The Titans at home against a Raider team who couldn't stop the run last year is probably the only other game I'd pick.
