Heads up
Ballbreaker. . .
Although Minnesota looked like a damn good team yesterday dont let them fool you. Remember the last 7 weeks of the season and also remember that they were just playing green bay's defense afterall. How many points did they score against a good defense like Washington? Also remember that Philly also pounded the pack in GB. . . by pounded I mean they crushed them, granted they had Owens at that time. Philly might not have T.O but they still have defense and they still have McNabb. Just a bit of food for thought for this game could easily get out of hand.
The books have everyone right where they want them. Its going to be really easy for a lot of people to take Minn +10 points after watching this Sunday's game and that may be exactly what they want.
Good luck on whatever you decide

Kruser the bookies have you right where they want you as in you know how many people will be teasing the Eagles down to -3 and even a pickum?? Just start talking to Joe Public by the water coolers and ask them boy doesnt the Eagles- 3 sound good or even at a pickum that sounds even better. And people that dont normally bet will say 'hey can you put some of that in for me? I have seen this movie before !! Just my opinion.
Hey Mj I never posted a pick on Philly. . . All I am saying is that Philly could easily blow the vikes out of the water just as easily as the vikes could hang in there with them. So don't go putting me in the Public I dont know what the F*** i am talking about category. All I was saying was that this game might not be as easy as it looks. Just throwing out some thoughts on the game.
Also leaning towards the minn ml....to anybody backing phili, does it concern you at all that they never played with this offense in any meaningful situation? I think it was a huge mistake to not put their starting Offense on the field in either of the last two games so they could get some time to come together and sort things out. They only had one drive against stl together..... just some thoughts...

Alright...I think the line is too close to the number. IF this plays out like Monday Night we won't need the 9.5/10.
We know how to handle Dante and Randy...this isn't the first time.
The Vikes D is bad enough to give up a bundle of points in this one. I think the side is a pass for me.
Good luck this weekend BB.

Philly shouldn't have won the first game of the year on Monday night in Philly. The TO touchdown was clearly not a TD. Challenge and that's called no catch. That was on a 3rd down too so they punt away after overturned. Vikes had the ball for 38 minutes, over 400 yards and culpepper fumbled on the one yard line. SKOAL VIKINGS. Another great MLer. Gave you 3 this past weeknd. :banger:
From http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs04/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=19634273.
"Culpepper remembers the Vikings squandering a number of chances to score in their first meeting with the Eagles. Once, he fumbled at the Eagles' goal line going in for a touchdown. Another time, center Matt Birk was called for a holding call on a play in which Culpepper was running into the end zone. The Vikings missed a field goal attempt after the penalty moved them back. Another time Culpepper was stopped at the goal line and Tice settled for three points. That could have been 21 points and instead was three. Culpepper knows he can't afford to make mistakes."
