A lot of MIN games have been going over lately as the D is overrated and O is underrated. But this game the Vikes will have a tough time on offense against a good D coming off their bye. Berrian will be kept in check by the very good TB pass D. The Bucs will have their share of struggles however as they will be shut down on the ground and forced to try to dink and dunk out a win in the absence of much of a deep attack.

Under 38.5  Bucs 21 Vikes 17

Well said. I think this one may get out of hand if the Vikes get down early. Bucs will be able to dink and dunk at will against the porous Vikings secondary and Tampas cover 2 will give ferotte nothing but problems.

AP is going to have to have a big game for the Vikes to get out of the Sunshine State with a "W'.....

if the Vikes D line can put even close to the pressure on Garcia that they did Rodgers they'll stay within the number.

 Tampa is 7-12 ats after a bye since 93, 2-0- last 3 years

Gotta think Tampa wins this one going away. Tampa is good vs the run. Won't stop AP, but will contain him. And if they get up by a few scores, Frerotte isn't able to bring them back, IMO.... GL to all

Tampa seems like a solid pick at home off of a bye but for some reason my gut tells me to leave this one alone...AD scares me in this game.

TB very tough against the run. Minny struggles when they cant get their running game going. TB-4

I am up in the air in this this game but believe TB should be able to cover.
 
TB is coming off a bye week
TB is playing at home
TB is banged up in the backfield giving C. Williams action for the first time this year
61% of public likes TB
 
Vikings #3 in the league against the run only allowing 70 yards a game.
Vikings 1-3 ATS on the road
Vikings looking to take sole position in NFC north with a win against TB and bears losing
 
IMO - Tampa Bay will need to win this game with it's defense forcing and capitalizing on turnovers.
 
21 - 17 Final Score
 
Tampa Bay -3.5 (buy .5)
