Dolphins vs. Vikings.. Lets Break it Down..

[bleedingpurple]

Week 1 Vikings lose to Saints and Phins beat Bills..

Really hard to understand why anyone would put money on the Vikes right now. Have scrolled aronind other places and see many are saying "the Vikes bounce back at home." They very well could but that theory loses money just as much as it wins.. Pribably more..

Miami's strength is running the footaball and Minnesota's strength is stopping the run.. Last week the Vikes couldnt stop it in the second half but they were playing against the pass the entire time.. Defensively Miami is a competent squad but I wonder how much pressure they can apply to Favre and the Vikes BIG O line may push their front around.. I could also see the Dolphins botterling up the run as the Vikings are very predictable.. Passing the ball I think the vikes will be fine.. Too many people making a big deal out of week 1. Favre will be fine.

I do expect the Vikes to win in a 21 - 17 24 - 17 typed of game.. Nothin too exciting and I could see them lose this game as well.. This Vike team is going to struggle early in the season but will be much better the second half of the season..

agree... The vikes need there corners back and they will have a top 5 defense... favre is a little rusty but wil slowly come around.. The key to the vikings is the play calling.. They need to keep the pressure of favre from thinking he has to play great or take the game over.. Run Run and more run... They got away from this the second half of the saints game... The players have had lots of practice time to sget ready for the dolphins... This will be much like a by week in the playoffs.... easy win for the vikes...

I think everyone is going to be on the vikes at home... It's either Phins or no play for me..

-6 sure sets up nicely in a tease..

asking Mrs. Diva[on 10 days rest] to just simply win at home [vs] yet another shit team..


there should be no bigger home field EDGE in the NFL than on the Mall of America Field.

64,000+ fans with the thirst for a SUPER BOWL appearance so bad they suck down beer like it is water and hang out on frozen lakes on Saturday.....

defeat this jive ass Fish team and pave the way to 11 W's or suffer another defeat and watch the ice melt in the frigid winter wonderland..

Teams w/Hall of Fame leadership should not shit the bed at home..

8-0 at home last season and absolutely no excuse is valid to implode w/a loss vs this Fish team that will struggle to make the playoffs

First thought for me....low scoring!! Miami's D is very much improved this year with Dansby and the offense will have a hard time scoring points for awhile. Scored only 15 last week against Buffalo. 13 points actually as they got a late safety to cover the spread. I wouldn't go against Minny at home here coming off a loss and I can't take Miami on the road after last week's poor offensive performance. UNDER seems like a safe bet in this game!
