NFL Wagering - Minnesota (-3) vs. Denver (+ 3)
Both Minnesota and the Washington Redskins
kick-off at the same time this Sunday.
By that time, both teams may know if the
New Orleans Saints have beaten the Chicago
Bears. That would put more pressure on
each one of these teams.
The Vikes
need the Redskins to lose while all the
Redskins have to do is win outright in
order to secure a playoff spot. I have
my doubts as to whether or not a young
team like the Vikings can play with kind
of pressure, but before I get into that,
let’s take a look at some trends:
The Minnesota Vikings are 3-2-2 against
the spread when playing away so far this
year.
The Denver Broncos are 3 and 4 against
the spread at home this year.
The Denver Broncos are 2 and 10 against
the spread versus a team with a winning
record.
The trends say Vikings, but there has
been a huge change in the past two games
regarding the Vikings. Now that teams are
keying on Adrien Petersen and Chester Taylor,
the Vikings really have no other weapons.
Their quarterback,
Tarvaris Jackson, hasn’t
found a rhythm yet. In other words the
Vikings can’t pass and unless you
can pass against a terrific defense like
the Denver Broncos, you aren’t going
to score many points.
Champ Bailey all ready shuts down half
the field for the Broncos. So, without
a whole field what chance does Jackson
have of finding the open receiver? Not
a good one.
The Broncos wills stack the box with eight-men
throughout this entire thing. That spells
doom for the Vikings and, probably, for
their playoff chances. They are too inexperienced
at quarterback to take that extra step
this year.
The Vikings do have an excellent defense
as well, but I have to think that Shanahan
will get his boys to put up some points
in this home game. They may not light up
the scoreboard but the Broncos have enough
to get about a touchdown lead on the Vikings.
The Vikings may not hit the board in this
one.
The BetUS NFL Betting line is Denver Broncos
+ 3 at home against the Minnesota Vikings.
NFL Free Pick:
I like the Broncos to beat the spread
in this game.
