Oh, this is getting scary. The Panthers’ game at Minnesota is turning into one of those classic trap games, a rare NFL game that the visiting team “should” win. Easily even.

Vikings star RB Adrian Peterson tweaked his hamstring and missed practice yesterday, and both he and his coach sounded like he was doubtful for Sunday. But the Vikes have a functional backup in Chester Taylor, exactly the kinda guy who could go for 125 against an unfocused Panther defense.

Hurry up, Sunday! Let’s play this one before any more bad karma builds up.
