Minny will want to establish the running game. Minny has a very good offensive line (led the league in rushing last year) and will be wanting to overpower an eagles D line that is considerably undersized. True, Bennit is hurt but the Vikings are very deep at running back. I look for the vikings to control the clock and tempo keeping a good Eagles offense off the field. When and if the Eagles stack the line the Vikings will then look to take their shots downfield. At the risk of sounding foolish the Vikings defense is much improved from last year. With that said they are still only middle of the pack defensivly. Rarely do I bet for or against the home team (from MN) but I think there is some value here. I'm anticipating the vikings rushing for 150 yards or more. Minny 23-20. It very well could go 51 but to me this is all driven by the betting public anticipating Moss and Owens to lite it up. Most people want to clap rather than sit on their hands.
Minny will run and run some more!

Solid analysis Henri.
Wish I had not seen your post.
You cast a shadow of a doubt in my mind about taking
philly.
Me thinks though,that A DOME TEAM playing outdoors on MNF with no resemblence of a pass rush,a suspect running game and Philly`s buzzsaw of a secondary will be a tough thing to overcome.
Good Luck Mate!

I cant believe there are actually a few people that think Minn can win this game. 
An AWESOME Philly team,MNF at home...come on.........Eagles Roll!

Vikes are gonna be without Kleinsasser, the best blocker in the league at any position, and without Moe Williams, their 3rd down and short yardage back. That leaves S.O.D. (Onterrio) and rookie Moore to fill the shoes. I see some problems running for them--they will get there yards cause the o-line is good but I don't feel they can dominate without those extra parts. Lot more passing than running for their yards I think.?.?
Just my opinion---GL tonight! :clap:

you guys have me laughing over here, dont you think this game looks too easy? im sorry with what i looked at today i still think minny has the better shot here tonite,im going teaser just in case. but why hasnt line moved?
i dont think it will be a low scoring game or kind of running game , both teams will throw deep , but i do keep telling myself ...oh this is monday night , monday night football , UNDer good on monday . Sorry my friend , not one solid reason support me to take under , so i am hitting the over , also like it Big . good luck whatever you play my friend .
Im a little worried about Moe being out along with Bennet. I be all over the vikes other wise. Im just watching. But I must say it looks like at least 56 points. Hold it. No Bennet no Moe double Moss. Phily must be the play.

Seems the injuries really hurt Minny's running game. Only 37 yards outside of what Culpepper has run for from the rest of the team.
Way off base on the yardage running and frankly the whole game plan. Minny did however dominate the time of possession nearly 2:1 and I scored on the under. Vikings : Same o same o!
