I like Cinci here. Minnesota looked awful against the Cards. I would bet on the Cinci here winning or either covering. GL

Curious to see how the Vikes bounce back after last weeks debacle. Favre looked like the Favre of old, throwing two picks and having two more dropped. Cincy isn't fancy and I think they are done surprising people, but they will fall short here. Vikes win, but don't cover !

I LIKE THE VIKINGS HOME. BIG GAME GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS. #4 WILL DELIVER,HE WILL EXPLOIT BENGALS SECONDARY.PETERSON WILL ROLL.MINNISOTA 24-10/

yea u gotta figure after a 19yrd game from ap and 2 picks from favre  a home game    vikes by 2 scores

Just a thought but this is about the time Favre went South on the Jets last year.  Is it because he is running out of steam at age 40.  When a person is tired which i think he looked like against the Cards last week his thought process isn't the same.  I can see the Bengals at least covering if not winning out right.

  On the surface this contest appears close. However, nothing could be further from the truth, as Vikings click on "all Cylinders" on their way to a rather easy win & cover! Thank you- will enjoy the money,sonny!

Vikings -7

Looks like the Vikings O-Line is a bit banged up - Loadholdt, Herrera, but most importantly B. McKinnie the left tackle.  Hopefully, the Vikings will make use of the quick outs, slants and drag routes.  The Arizona game was painful to watch. 

The Cards occasionally had LB Carlos Dansby lined up 20 yards from the line of scrimmage in essentially a safety spot and had him run as a spy from there.  Turning their usual 3-4 defense into a nickel package.  I'm hoping Cincy will try the same thing after viewing the game film and Minnesota will exploit that flaw by throwing the short pass. 

Leaning on the Vikings - 6.5 at home

Cinci doesn't score enough to keep close to this powerhouse offense.  Vike's should win by at least 10.  Probably like 35-24

the vikings are at HOME and looking for a bounce back statement game.

Min -6.5

Minnesota - 20                       Cincinnati - 14

Bengals +6.5                     under 43.5

Cincy covered against Chicago, Detroit, and Green Bay this season. They might as well run the table vs the NFC Norris.

 

raiders beat bengals   so did texans and i dont really count broncos but they did too  and so will minny

75% of the bettors think this game is over 44,  i will take the under

good knowledge.  i'm wondering if the surgery helped him fix that a bit but its definitely a worthy consideration.

CIN +6.5: Cincy is a very live dog. Everyone knows that the Bengals play to the level of their competition. Another unique stat is that the underdog in Bengal games is 12-0 ATS this year! (lost as favorites 6 times and won as dogs 6 times…. 12-0 ATS for the UNDERDOG in their games). This week, they're pegged as the dog so i'm siding with the trend, the #4 ranked Bengal D should hang with the Vikes. Score: Bengals 27- Vikings 30 (4 units).

Cin +6.5 Im loving it. The dude who wrote the thing about Favre wearing down, I was thinking the same thing while watching vintage Brett last week. Minn hasn't played any teams with winning records except for GB and Ari. Scratch off the GB and that you leaves you with Minn getting exposed against the only team they have played all year thats over .500. I can go on......

I'm hopping on the Bengals this week....

probably buying the point up to 7.5....


The Minn o-line looked terrible last week... that's why Peterson was held in check...


The Bengals defense is tough and they run the ball very well..... Palmer and company seem to only pass the ball when they absolutely need to (when the running game stalls) which it usually doesn't do....


Gotta love Cincy getting 6.5....


I might reverse this as well.....



this game will be decided by a field goal!

CINN +6.5
