Miami at Minnesota - Lets discuss

[Dr. Jack]

Vikings laying about 5.5

it's hard to tell if Miami defense is that improved or was it mostly a pathetic Bills offense.

I think Favre could get killed. I'm thinking Cameron Wake & Co get to him pretty good.

If Miami stops the run - I think they could win this one especially while Favre & limited receivers take some time to gel.

Ronnie/Ricky could struggle & if they can't run the ball - will Minnesota get to Henne?

What are some other keys to who game?

Miami +

Vikings D looked pretty solid against Brees in his house....made some nice throws but after that first td they were held in check a lot of the game, held brees to a 6.6 y/a.....brees was able to spread the ball around, miami doesn't have the same amount of weapons to spread to

I like the Vikings.

They got embarrased last week and you can tell they are pissed. The Miami secondary is good but the D-Line is going to struggle against Minnesota for sure. THe Vikings run game should be the focus here as i dont think Favre is back in a groove with his WR group.

Vikings defense is still solid so Miamis offense could struggle to score toouchdowns. I mean did they even let Henne get aggresive down field last game? They will need to in this game to have a chance.

Seriously, what was the Bills defense ranked last year? I bet almost every game under last year with them involved, was there that much difference between them and Minn?

[Mastamind]

- Miami will not be able to run the ball at all (Question is, can they win the game through the air)
- Can Miami stop Peterson (if yes, Favre will have trouble with the passing game, they need rice back badly)

public is already leaning heavily to Minnesota - 75% of the bets are on them (thinking they cannot drop to 0-2)

Lean Miami + the points (if the line moves lower, i'll be on miami for sure, we'll see come sunday)

I may be all over the Vikes, big

[Bisket]

minny in must-win mode, but not laying 5.5 here

[Seanie Mac]

If you are going to take Minn you might as well bet it now

-5 1/2 is way better than -6, but equal to -5 and -4 1/2 as 5 is the 2nd most dead number next to 9 under 10.

You don't wanna get stuck with a -6 or -6 1/2

One time they did. He under threw a wide open B Marshall but he should have caught it, for sure touchdown

well i would say this is a key. obvious example that should stand out is Mark Sanchez. They wont let him be aggressive at all and their offense looked like my flag football team, but worse.

We all know how good the front 7 is of the Vikings, I would make Henne beat me its that simple.

this will be one of the easier covers of the day. minny at home. was at the bills game and the dolphins did not look good either.


you need to remember the bills have one of the worst O-Lines in the league and they have no pass rush.

doesnt matter what favre shows up, it is still a big upgrade than trent edwards.

also minny didnt look horrible in the superdome. i bet you the next 7 teams that go in there wont look too good either.

Miami 2nd of back-to-back road games.
Minnesota with a couple extra days rest and a home opener.
Miami has a divisional foe the following week (well, so does Minny, but it's the Lions).

I'm liking the Vikings here.
