1. The Reality Is, Adrian Peterson is just warming up.

Most successful running backs will tell you that they need to get into a rhythm to be at their best. Most will tell you that more carries leads to more knowledge and results in more quality runs. And while Adrian Peterson had a good showing last week in Miami, he would be the first to tell you he still missed quite a few things that could have led to a much bigger day. If he can put it all together, and the offensive line can clean up a few mistakes in the run game, he might be able to pull off a vintage AP day.

My Prediction: This is AP’s best game of the season so far, as he rushes for 120 yards and a score.
