Especially if you also had Jax last week and Gmen 2H under 17.5 this week. This is a classic example of why NFL road favs do so poorly. Minny controlled the 1H but were SOD at the 1, missed a FG, and had a pick nullified by pen. Zona only had 1 decent drive but got a pick-3 and led 6-0 at the half. The Vikes completely dominated the 2H, getting 2 TDs to go up 14-6 mid 4q. After they got an int, it all looked...SO GOOD. Then the train derailed. After the pick they settled for a FG, 17-6. Zona took over with 6:00 left and went on a long drive, and despite numerous QB sacks/fumbles, Zona converted on 4th and 6, 4th and 13, and finally 4th and goal to get inside the number. In fact, McCown was sacked 8 times and fumbled 3 times, but somehow the Cards recovered all 4 of their fumbles. Still, you're up 17-12 with under 1:00 left...no problem, right? Wrong. Zona recovered the onside kick, then a ?ble PI penalty got em in the red zone. After 2 more sacks (and yet another recovered fumble), Zona faced 4th and 25. On the last play, they got a 27 yd TD pass.
Viking ML backers, that HAD to hurt!
