From Tuesday, the line hasn't altered but going now up, from down, by a mere half-point. Randy Moss hasn't influenced the betting public to the point where this should go down considerably. Was readily assuming by game night, this would be NYJ -2.5. Not the case, and this seems to spell a rare underdog NOT covering.
Childress' Vikings have long been terrible on the east coast. Prime time versus AFC, and he fares even worse. Nightclub jitters, indeed.
Jets will cover here, with or without a bum Favre elbow. Revis won't truly need a double-team on Moss, welcoming a rematch from that one-handed TD burn when #84 was still a discontent Pat. This leaves B Berrian, and Percy Harvin not getting the ball quite enough. With that, I'd sooner lean on the Under.
NY Jets 21 Minnesota 13
I agree with you on the line movement.... I think it smells of and underdog loss...
Moss has no chemistry with Favre.... the chuck it up theory only works in Madden Football (the video-game)... In real football Favre is not going to have time to throw and Moss is going to be covered by arguably the best corner in the NFL....
Favre definitely has a distraction he's dealing with this week.... can't be doin that shit...
Dome Team, Outside on the road
Minn has a weak secondary....
The only thing that bothers me is that they are off a bye week...
I'm thinking about jumping on the JETS -4.5 (but I am a Jets fan so beware of the homer post)
They are going to play to stop Peterson.... if they succeed then the Vikes won't be able to get a rythem...
The stadium is going to be very loud as well.... not a friendly environment....
This game reminds me of the Vikes/Steelers game of last year when the Vikes were undefeated and there was a similiar line movement.... I took the Steelers at home due to the dome factor as well as the fact that no teams run on the Steelers...
I'm applying similiar logic for this game...
GL TO ALL!
OH, I ALSO LOVVVVVVE THE UNDER
