No Favre, No AD, No Hutch, 6 inches of snow = Over?

I'm just trying to figure out how the Vikings will score tonight. Sub freezing temps, a QB I've never heard of, snow, an undersized inexperienced center starting, an inexperienced left guard starting, so you can toss out Gerhardt up the middle. So up the middle, no passing game, so Over just cuz the total is so low???

I need more to go on than "the public all over the under" or "just cuz man, that is crazy low, it's a trap."

As soon as someone can legitimately explain how Minn scores more than 3-6 pts tonight, I'll bite on that over........until then, probably a no play.

Against a top 5 DL I just can't see this banged up OL, thus the O as a whole, getting anything accomplished tonight. With Minn's decent D combined with weather conditions, this smells like a 17-6 type game.

Just my 2 cents.......

Hadn't heard that, thought it was still up in the air.....thanks.

Unfortunately for him the game means nothing and he'll face a pounding with who they are throwing out at OL........

Correct.....having a hard time seeing this go over. Bears rank in the bottom 10 of all Offense statistical categories and the Vikes are beat up, out of the playoffs, and counting down the days to the start of '11 season......

After all that, going with the Bears 4U -6. My line just tanked, books having fun moving this around.

Vikes have no reason to play, nothing to look forward to, and if they score a touchdown it's because Cutler threw it right at a DB. Which is entirely possible.........but still not enough.

GL guys!

Considering how they looked last week in the snow I'll have to see it to believe it....Bears will be knocked out in the WC round IF they make it....

turnovers and short field drives can get this total well over.
