Adrian Peterson's Preparation for the New Orleans Match | IXGAMES

The Minnesota Vikings’ running back, Adrian Peterson, is seriously studying ways to improve his ball-handling skills in preparation for his team’s, Minnesota Vikings, match against the New Orleans Saints on September 9. His all-around performance has been tainted by several instances of him fumbling the ball during critical periods of several games. Peterson thinks he has found a solution to his problems, which requires some fundamental changes to the way he actually handles the ball during the game. The first real test of these changes will be the game against the New Orleans Saints later this week. Analyzing his technique Peterson considers himself to be a resilient player on the field. He believes a few technical changes to the way he handles the ball should resolve his current problem. By holding the ball higher and in a more relaxed manner, he, ultimately, should have an easier time keeping possession of the ball. His other attributes, like his aggressive running and other offensive skills, should then finish the job for him. Adrian Peterson is considered by his team as a pivotal element of their offensive game. The leadership skills of Brett Favre won’t help if Peterson doesn’t keep possession of the ball. In spite of these problems, however, the team will retain its current game plays and will continue to pass the ball to Peterson as much as they can. A last-minute change of their strategies might only be counterproductive. The Minnesota Vikings vs. the New Orleans Saints The Minnesota Vikings’ offensive strengths is expected to match evenly with the extra-aggressive defensive roster of the New Orleans Saints on their September 9 game. Intertops Sportsbook see this upcoming game with a +200 win odds for the Minnesota Vikings and -240 for the New Orleans Saints. The Minnesota team has something to prove in this game. The Saints’ aggressive defense against Favre during the previous playoffs should give the Vikings an added incentive to win against their nemesis. As far as the Minnesota Vikings are concerned, their chances will rest on the performance of Adrian Peterson and the consistency of Brett Favre. Barring any other personnel injuries, both of them are expected to perform well. The Saints should have the added advantage of having veteran linebacker Danny Clark rejoin the team, but they still have to deal with the absence of some top-tier players in their lineup due to injuries. The team will have to rework their game plan to accommodate more game minutes by their reserve roster. Game time advantage for the Vikings All in all, when you look at the roster of both teams and the injuries afflicting some of their players, their upcoming match should provide an interesting betting potential for sports fans.
