Vikes (-4.5) vs Dallas

The cowboys have a very strong front seven but they are weak at CB. Minn has made off-season moves and wise draft selections to get a solid #2 and#3 in case Moss is blanketed. RB for Minn will be Moe Williams that in the past has shown to be a solid fill in back. Now the Cowboys have an aging QB that is not a scambler. The Vikes has up graded on defense with speed. Look for a few turnovers from Vinny. Keshawn is the only receiver Vinny throws to as pre-season has shown. If Minn doubles, then Vinny will get sacked often. Cowboys have a very strong O-line but IMO Minn is too quick. Culpepper looked extremely sharp in preseason and I think he will air it out on Dallas all day. With a safety like Roy Williams (overly aggressive) a play fake will open the deep ball all day!

Washington (-1.5) over TB

I am a homer here but there is rational to the pick. TB lost some talent on defense and offensively they are a step behind last years team. The most impressive QB on the roster was Simms, Johnson looks lackadaisical in the pocket. But then again the guy has the emotions of wallpaper. Still Washington @ home with a excited Wash crowd. Not the normal crowd, this crowd will be out of control with Gibbs back. New defensive Co Williams will have a lot of tricks coming at TB. This team will be flying around the ball. I would honestly think Gibbs let Brunell go deep 1st play of the game off play action and hits coles deep. If Washington comes out early and gets some points I don't think they will let up. TB is hurt on defense with out Lynch and Sapp as run stoppers the bucs are week in the middle. Thats where the skins will be running all day.

With you on this one. I think that Duante will tear apart the Dallas secondary early by at least 1 or 2 long bomb TD's that we saw him throw on every other play in the preseason. Should be interesting to see how Vinny does against the Minny D. I'm liking Minny's chances :clap:

KC (ML) over Denver

KC/DEN over 47.5

Yes this game is at mile high and KC is not a good road team but IMO KC has more offensive firepower than Denver. Plummer hasn't show the ability to make the big plays. I know the KC defense have a new CO. I'm sure he is going to bring a lot of pressure to Jake. This is a huge revenge game for KC and they have to be focused, Denver is replacing a lot of key players on defense. Lynch and champ will have to make tackles 8 yards deep because the LB all though good are under sized in comparison to the KC line. KC lacks a deep threat and will have problems stretching the field. This is where Gonzales comes into play. He will make plays in the middle to keep the LBs from crowding the line. very offensive game thats why IMO the over 47.5 is a good play. In the end I think KC just has too many things clicking coming out of pre-season and Denver has yet to put it together.
