The Vikings are fresh off a bye week following a 39-26 win over the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome. Tice knows his well-rested club will have its hands full against the Broncos this week. "I think on tape certainly this is the best team we've played this year, but it might be the best team in the league," said Tice of Denver. |

Predicted Outcome: Tennessee 20, Carolina 17 New Orleans Saints (2-4) at Atlanta Falcons (1-5): It doesn't look like the Falcons are going to be able to hang on until Mike Vick gets back. The club is digging a hole that will be too deep for even Vick to overcome. If Atlanta is going to snap its five-game skid, T.J. Duckett must get more |

"If Michael was there the play probably wouldn't have gotten past the 25," Haslett said. "But that's something we don't have." UP NEXT: The Saints will visit the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. |
