NFL: 93-59 +120.5 units
NYG +3 (I'll buy the half if need be, but expect all locals to be at 3).
4 units
NYG un 46 2 units
Numbers may change at 6 CST.
Lets start with the obvious in the NFL. Don't play against teams with a better running game and an obviously better defense. You better have all your ducks in a row before going against those two factors.
Not much into trends and recent performances. Actually all these played little to no value in my decisions tonight:
NYG 7-3 ATS L10 away
NYG 20-6-1 ATS L27 away
NYG 4-1 ATS Back to back road games
Vikes 3-1 SU L4 home
Vikes 0-2 L2 as home favs
Lets look at L4 home for MIN:
CAR loss
GB win, so what else is new, how many times has GB lost at MIN?
DET win by 9
TB win by 9
Couldn't put away two weak teams with poor records.
Would the offensive left side please stand up for MIN? That's what I thought, you are the weakest link! Strahan, don't get to excited, but leading the NFL in sacks at 15, I can see why.
Oh, forgot to mention: Vikings out scored 89-31 L2 aganist teams with strong defenses and medicore offenses. Lets see, does the NYG's fit into this picture?
NYG L3: Lose at WAS, shock waves around the country???? WAS has won 4 straight, at Denver, no less. Squeaked by DAL & ARZ, a concern.
Do not agree with Nolan's view "Giant's have the NFL's most over-rated running game". Pretty nicked up RB's until now, especially Tikki Barber. Healthier tonight than they have been in awhile.
I'll finish with two more keys on two players.
Terry Collins hasn't looked very good recently, especially the L3. The guy finally gets to feel some relavence of a comfort zone in the pocket tonight. MIN can't pass rush and DB's for MIN are less than average.
Dale Carter goes tonight, a risk taker, troublemaker, who likes the white powder.
Leads me back to troublemakers, and MIN has plenty of them. If the Vikes bolt out to a nice early lead, this will be a nonfactor. First sign of trouble, MIN goes in the tank.
One more comment, the Stringer thing is a nonfactor tonight, maybe a negative. Revenge on a 41-0 playoff loss, last year - will never buy into that one. Revenge factors usually only come into play when a winning team mouths off after a close, possible controversial game- same season. None of these factors apply tonight.
Sorry pepin, I always have a page full of notes on every game, usually no time to explain. You are at my call tonight if any further questions. I know you like write-ups, valid point, but I just don't have the time. Sorry.
Just one man's opinion.
