MINNESOTA VIKINGS +4
This game looks like a good one. The Vikings enter 0-2 in the pre-season and will look to get their first win against the Super Bowl runner-ups. Mike Tice is a fiery competitor even as a head coach. He has said he may keep the first-team offense and defense on the field through the third quarter tonight. I like to hear statements like that for these types of games. He also announced his QB rotation to be Daunte Culpepper (1st half and the 3Q-- may not be entire quarter)), Gus Frerotte (3Q), Shaun Hill (4Q), Justin Wood. Oakland will use a QB rotation of Rich Gannon (first half), Marques Tuiasosopo (3Q), Rick Mirer (4Q), Tee Martin. This game will stay close. The Raiders want to take another good long look at rookie Justin Fargas which translates into a ton of rushes for Oakland. If Minnesota puts up some points, this game plan will not figure in a comeback or a blowout scenario. I like the points in this game.
Good Luck.
