Report: Vikings' Harvin to be dealt to Seahawks for picks

By COVERS.COM STAFF

The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to trade wide receiver Percy Harvin to the Seattle Seahawks for undisclosed draft picks, as first reported by Fox Sports.

The deal is contingent on Harvin passing a physical.

The Seahawks are currently 8/1 to win the 2014 Super Bowl at the LVH and have 4/1 odds to clinch the NFC.

CarbonSports.ag told Covers it won’t be moving its Seattle Super Bowl futures off 8/1.

"Harvin is good, but not a real game changer in my opinion," says oddsmaker Michael Stewart. "He's no Megatron and he needs to prove his health as well. Injuries are a real concern with him."

Harvin, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract, badly sprained his left ankle on Nov. 4 at Seattle last season and didn't play again. He still led the team in receptions (62) and receiving yards (677) despite only playing half a season.

Harvin has previously worked with Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who coached him in Minnesota during his rookie season.

Harvin is a slot receiver with speed. Nothing more. Just wait until he pulls up lame for a few weeks or misses an important game due to a headache. He's like an egg waiting for something to crack it's delicate shell.

The Vikings have had 2 decent WRs since Moss/Carter. Now they both play for the Seahawks. Rick Spielman salary must be correlated to total losses by the team. Worst GM ever.

Not even close! That dubious honor has to go to Matt Millen. if you want to go outside of football I don't think anyone can touch Isaiah Thomas except maybe Walt Hazzard. But don't worry there's still time for Spielman to work his way up or down in the standings. I wouldn't worry to much about losing Harvin. While talented he's a cancer who's opinion of himself far exceeds his actual value.He misses far to many games to pay him the kind of money he thinks he's worth.

MLB: St. Louis vs. San Diego

Pick:: St. Louis
Start:: May 22, 2013 - 10:10 PM
Capper:: Will Rogers
Offered at:: 5dimes @ 101 St. Louis
Analysis:

Things simply continue to roll for me as I have had an excellent May. I've found a ton of success in MLB and that includes another sweep Tuesday that brings my overall run to 11-1. That doesn't even include yesterday's free play on the Angels, which won 12-0! Tonight, I'm recommending the Cardinals over the Padres as we're getting the much better team at a very good price.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Yesterday - After surprisingly losing Monday's opener, the Cardinals came back to really beat up on the Padres, winning 10-2. That win gives St. Louis the best WL record as well as the best run differential in Major League Baseball. Therefore, the fact they come into tonight as a virtual Pick Em against a sub-.500 foe with a bad starting pitcher looks like a real bargain, at least to me.

2. Unknown over the Known - This applies to the starting pitching matchup as the Padres will send out Burch Smith, who has made two starts so far and neither has gone well. He first allowed six runs in one inning, then allowed five more Friday vs. Washington, here at home. San Diego has obviously lost both starts. They should lose another here as the Cardinals are 25-11 vs. right-handed starters this season. Meanwhile, St. Louis goes with Tyler Lyons, making his MLB debut Wednesday. San Diego has a losing record vs. lefties.

3. X-Factor - The Cardinals sure had a lot of their own fans at Petco last night. I'm sure they all didn't make the trip out to San Diego for just one game.

Selection: The play is on the St. Louis Cardinals (1*).
