Instead of concentrating on what happened to both teams common opponent(Dallas).You should take chillins advice and start concentrating on Minnesotas last 4 road opponent and Minnys pure points per game offensive and defensive road ratings in those last 4.
Chicago Yes Minny did score 27 pureppg. However, their defense gave up 36 pppg to Cutler??? that should tell you something right there.
Carolina: Now Carolina has a good defense at home as does NO's now that everybodys back. Minny scored just 7 pppg and gave up 26. To a rookie in Matt moore.??..yes, hes still a rookie that smoked Minny's secondary
Arizona : Didn't they just get smoked by New Orleans last week. Hey, who handed Minnesota their second loss on the road.? Who pummled Arizona at home last week. Want to use the common opponent theory with Dallas. Ill use the common opponent theory with Arizona ..fair enough.
GBay: Big time emotional game for Farve. However, Minnys defense gave up 26 to the overrated GB.Im not impressed with minny on the road whatsoever.
If you want to compare common opponents, let me take it one step further and compare one thing that Minny has in common with the 2 teams that were just bounced and shredded defensivly in the last 2 weeks by 45 points per game in Arizona and GB
They are nothing but a bunch of overhyped, overrated, Jeckyl and Hyde goods at home/ misfits on the road frauds, with the 30th 31st and 32nd place schedule respectivly. The first 2 went down big...with #3 to follow.
SAINTS -4 BIG!!!!!!!!!!
Hey bro,not trying to ditch you in your pick ,but have you considered those 4 losses on the road were all outdoors and the last 2 in the cold. Favre and Minnys defence play shitty ,I've notice in those games.
Minny's defence just isnt the same on the road - grass, outdoors and especially cold weather,its effects the speed of this particular defence. The turf there lot better. Minny gets more pressure on the QB on the turf, it seems.
I respect your pick,but was just wondering if you figured this into your capping. I dont know yet who I like ,but if this was outdoors in the cold weather , I go against Minny all the way.
N.O played better last week against a tired, beat up Cards team and got the win , so anythings possible this week.
I think NO will be able to run the ball a bit also. Minnys sack happy defence , will give up some good yardage to No trying to sack Brees
Gl, your right though, Minnys road record speaks for itself.
