I would say Lynch will have more yards b/c he will be the unquestioned starter right off the bat. The Vikes gave Chester Taylor a fat contract before last season, so I seriously doubt he rides the bench in favor of a rookie. Peterson is a monster talent, but he will see time in a running back by committee situation at best. Minnesota does have the better offensive line, and I think playing weaker defenses like Detroit and GB twice a year would favor Peterson... But again, I'll say Lynch since he'll be the starter from day 1.
