Vikings -2.5 Smells Fishy

Question

Thought it&#x27;d be more like 4.5. Seems like the books are begging for action on MInnesota putting the line at less than a FG. Still think SD is the POW. They do to Cleveland exactly what they did to KC last week IMO.

why is it fishy? Warner probably wont play and the Cardinals are a great home team.

Ill admit the line does seem a little fishy but by just looking at the bigger picture the Vikings will soar here....by how much is another question. Last I heard theyre still not sure if Warner will play

AL52888 · Answer

It seems fishy because honestly i think this line should be at 7 or higher...still waiting for this game to get on sportsbook!

Ice4Blood · Answer

Messier... it wouldn&#x27;t be fishy if Warner were playing... it&#x27;s fishy because he, as you said, "probably won&#x27;t play"...&#xD;&#xA;but i agree, Cards are tough at home... but again, when Warner is healthy... Leinary hasn&#x27;t exactly proven himself yet... and the Vikes are rolling over the spread every week... this is a bit of a head scratcher...&#xD;&#xA;also a revenge game, if the Cards care at all about the butt-whooping Minnesota put on them (in Arizona) near the end of the season last year...

Well the Vikings haven&#x27;t been on the road in awhile, I think its a fair line for Minny to be a small favorite considering they are traveling to a division leader&#x27;s house.  If the line was too high it might invite too much teaser action on Arizona over key numbers they may could cover with a potent offense.

How are the Cardinals a good home team.  They are 2-3

TacoBellaire · Answer

if leinart is playing minnesota will crush this team

PrimeTimeBoys · Answer

If  Warner plays, the line is right, if he doesnt, the line should be Vikings -7

Fairweather_fan · Answer

Lets be honest here, Arizona probably has one of the worst home crowds in the business, it's not like home field should be that major here. Usually the crowd is about 60/40 Cards over Vikings fan when they go there, last year it was probably 70/30 and this year we can probably expect that as well, but it's not like this crowd is going to have Minnesota jumping off sides or being forced to use time outs or anything like that.

If chilly's postgame talk is any indication, ("alright, good game boys, plenty of stuff to clean up yet, now lets get ready, big game at the desert next week") - this team should be completely prepared and focused for the first test in well over a month. They're still hurting over the loss at Pittsburgh and this team still has things to prove. I think we'll see a hungry team on Sunday trying to prove they are just as good as NO. I think this is a great spot for Minny

HutchEmAll · Answer

This is MN&#x27;s toughest opponent.  Unless you like GB.  Celts were a mild fave last night and crushed.  You never know.

choiOi · Answer

Min will win and win big to keep up with Saints for the NFC crown/homefield throughout playoffs. I wouldn't even bother capping this game with the spread. Just look at the NFC standings and play the better team.

Fairweather_fan · Answer

Uhh, this is not the Vikings toughest opponent, not sure how you are all forgetting but that number 1 at the end of the record was on the road against Pittsburgh during one of the two weeks the Steelers were healthy. If you think at Arizona is as tough as at Pittsburgh, you're nuts

nycfrotter · Answer

have the vikes at -6. something is fishy indeed. vikes beat cards last year w/ tavaris jackson at qb in arizona. favre and ap should do damage.

_____

Sunday, Nov. 15	vs. Bengals L 18-12 (6-3)
Sunday, Nov. 22	@ Chiefs L 27-24 (6-4)
Sunday, Nov. 29	@ Ravens L 20-17 (6-5)

Sorry, but Pitt isn't all that RIGHT NOW.

wallstreetcappers · Answer

The line isnt out anywhere I have seen.News from the team site said Warner&#x27;s vision issues are gone and he even thought of lying last week to get into the game.I guess the issue could come back but today his vision was fine.They wont open the line until the team states who is going to start.

midnight_toker · Answer

like the over better.  Neither of these two defenses can stop each others offenses.

mojo10 · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;Agreed Primetime. Even if Warner does start (which i believe he will) I would be surprised if he plays the entire game. Remember Warner called his wife &amp; told her he wanted to quite mid season when Boldin took that big hit in the endzone. If he takes even a decent hit he&#x27;s done. If Warner were healthy as could be I think Minn still wins by 10. With him being beat up, this is gonna be a good size bet for me. GL everyone

mojo10 · Answer

And those fearing a &#x27;let down&#x27; by favre &amp; company, don&#x27;t. Nationally televised game on Sunday night. They come to play. Liking this play more &amp; more as I look deeper.

icover4u · Answer

cards are not a good home team they do better away but i see the line as arizona &#x2B; 4 which I probably will bite AZ here but BOL

Do any of you guys think the flight out to Arizona might have any effect on Favre's 40 year old body. So far he has looked phenomenol and doesn't look like he's gonna break down like last year, but this will be Minnys longest road trip so far this year and wanted to see if any of you guys might think this will have an effect on Favre at gametime with any type of jet lag.

MDAAKD · Answer

They are flying to PHX, not Tokyo.

Now come playoff time, I don&#x27;t know, but Minny better make their run now. Next season Favre might leave
