Minnesota vs. San Francisco
Play: San Francisco -2½
The Minnesota Vikings offered the most dominate performance of the first week of the NFL preseason, stepping on St. Louis 28-7. There were more impressive score differentials than what Minnesota accomplished, even without grandpa Favre, but the yardage difference was important. The Vikings gained 414 yards compared to the Rams meager total of 150. In exhibition, whoops, sorry, preseason football, play against any team that out-gained previous opponent by more than 210 yards. This yardage system is tight 27-13 ATS the last 11 seasons. Take San Francisco Sunday Night on NBC.

Hondo
The HKoD (Hondo Kiss of Death) worked to per fection last night in Boston as the Jays rallied to tie the Sawx, then fizzled in extras to raise the NRN (nasty red number) to 1,625 geronimos.
Today, Mr. Aitch perused the Pitching Form and was going to go with Wells, but then came Bronson, so he'll take Arroyo and the Reds -- 10 units.
