Viking QB Brett Favre worked his magic to win the game in the last second with a desperation throw into the end zone that was snagged out the air by WR Greg Lewis.

New York Giants at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Over/Under Was Set At 44.5 Result 24 UNDER
After the Buc’s scored 20+ points in their first two games, the Giants defense completely shut Tampa down as the under total was never in jeopardy.
New Orleans Saints at Buffalo Bills
The Over/Under Was Set At 52 || Result 34 UNDER
The Bills were able to slow the Saints down holding Brees to 172 passing yards. The problem is they gave up 222 yards on the ground as New Orleans marched through their defense.
Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks
The Over/Under Was Set At 37 || Result 44 OVER

Tennessee Titans at New York Jets
The Over/Under Was Set At 37 || Result 41 OVER
The Jets defense came up big again shutting down Titans QB Kerry Collins in the second half of this game forcing him to throw 13 straight incomplete passes.
Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders

Denver’s running game continues to look impressive as they amassed 215 yards on the ground against the Raiders. All the Broncos’ games have gone under so far this season.
Miami Dolphins at San Diego Chargers
The Over/Under Was Set At 44 || Result 36 UNDER
Miami not only loses their third straight, they lose QB Chad Pennington for the season. Look for the Dolphin’s offense to continue to struggle.
Indianapolis Colts at Arizona Cardinals
The Over/Under Was Set At 48.5 || Result 41 UNDER
Peyton Manning played true to his form but Kurt Warner did not, keeping this game total under. It is hard to know what to expect from the Cardinals this season.
Monday, Sept. 28
Carolina Panthers at Dallas Cowboys
The Over/Under Was Set At 47.5 || Result 28 UNDER
The Cowboys won this game on defense as Tony Romo and the Dallas offense continues to struggle.
Points seemed a bit harder to come by this week as the defensive coordinators now have enough tape on teams’ offenses to effectively scheme against them. Look for this trend to continue over the next week or two, until the offensive coordinators have time to throw a few more wrinkles into their game plan.
