Rotation #145-146
Vikings +8 over Saints (win)
Vikings/Saints Over 50 (loss)
For the first time this year we have a Minnesota Offense that is fully
healthy. The system the Vikings use can
beat the Saints Defense. Kirk Cousin can
roll out and find his targets. Adam
Thielen back will stretch this field and of course the running game makes this
a very balanced offense. The Saints have
been hobbled in the secondary the past few weeks and I believe Minnesota is
going to put up a good amount of points today.
We have seen teams come in here and do just that this year. San Francisco comes to mind and they run the
same type of offense Minnesota does. The
Saints will also put up points in their own building. Drew Brees gets the ball out of his hands
quickly and Kamara gives them the balance in the running game. There are a lot of weapons on both of these
offenses. Neither pass defense is good
against wide receivers so the deep shot is always there. Minnesota has played this team tight over the
last few years. 8 points is a lot in
this year’s NFL. This should be another
instant classic between both teams. Take
the Vikings and the Over.

Rotation #147-148
Eagles -1 over Seahawks (loss)
Both teams limp into this game
with injuries. Both teams are missing
men on the offensive line today. Philly
is down a lot of receivers and Seattle down a lot of running backs. It’s hard for a team to go on the road
without a great running game and win a football game. Seattle was an inch away from winning last
week and their playoff road would have been a lot easier. I still don’t trust an older Marshawn Lynch
who was out of football for a year to put up big numbers. This game comes down to third down percentage
which Philly is better at on both sides of the ball. Seattle does not have a great defense and the
areas that they struggle in are Philly’s strengths. Tight end and Running back passes. The winds in this game are set to die down
come kickoff, but if they don’t it will be ever harder for Seattle to throw the
ball down field. Take Philadelphia.
