Take this FWIW but.. Paul Allen the play by play guy for the Minnesota Vikings mentioned that before the Carolina game last year that he talked to a friend in the Carolina organization who said, Julius Peppers always plays his best game against Bryant McKinnie and whenever Jared Allen is on the other team. Reason why? He really does not like Bryant McKinnie and some of it has to do with the UNC/Miami thing. And he tries to embarrass him everytime he plays him. And with Jared Allen, he can't stand it when people call Allen the best pass rushing DE in the NFL over him. And last year if you remember, Peppers dominated the game vs. Minnesota. So what does this mean? Probably nothing at all, but if there is a guy I am watching this game, its Peppers.
