Vikings Win?????

[wr8]

I've noticed a number of handicappers that I read on a variety of sites, as well as services are on the Vikings today. I also noticed alot of services on Oklahoma and I was happy to catch USC on the Moneyline after the 4.5pt line move.

I must admit, I have to scratch my head.

I've always believed that you pick the winner in the playoffs and you get the cover. They're very few dogs that backdoor in the playoffs due to the sudden death of the game. This was evidenced yesterday with both dogs also being the outright winner. When I do like a dog, I'm usually on the moneyline for added value. I don't have statistical data to back this up, but would be interested in the numbers if Frankb03 ran some tests.

This brings me to Minnesota/Green Bay. I watched the Vikings/Redskins last week and I have never seen a more dejected team headed to the playoffs. I believe this is a team with little confidence. Add to this their inability to win on the road (outdoors), which I believe they have to do and I see a clear advantage on the side of Green Bay.

I know that Favre is unpredictable, I know that GB lost at home this year (3 times I believe) and I know that Green can be fumble prone. Adding all of that into the equation I just don't see how Minnesota wins this game and gets the cover.

I'm on the Pack. My second strongest play of the year. Strongest was in bowl season on UCONN.

Good Luck.

I like the call. I expect Pack to win this one going away! GL

I apologize for anyone that may have followed my train of thought. One of the reasons I don't do alot of posting is I don't like the thought of others losing money on my suggestion.

I didn't think the Vikes would come out with this intensity, and thats what makes it gambling.

I respect Favre, his longevity, durability etc., but when he won't sacrifice for another yard or two and has the audacity to laugh about his play at the end of the half, I can only hold up the white flag.

Sure GB could win, will they? Probably not.

If anything, I hope that the Vikes backers at least followed the fact that if you're going to bet a dog in the playoffs, do it on the moneyline.

I agree with you, Favre laughing about that play tells me he doesn't care about this game because he doesn't think this team can go anywhere. Also, did Longwell smirk when he missed the kick?
