WHATTAPLAY ......spot on with your info!  I also remember your thread with Broncos Panthers SB.  That’s when I first came into the know. 

One other tidbit u may have mentioned already, every year Nick Saban has won National Chamoionship Belichik doesn’t win SB. Vice Versa for Saban, when he loses Belichik always wins SB!  

Saban won 6th when 66 years old, just like Bill will too!  

Nice record!

insight on MNF game is spot on.  

Much appreciated!  You’re right about Dirt Cousins also.

Well put MrManning!      but motivated.......both of these teams play in the NFL.  I'm pretty sure they are both motivated.  Getting information is not playing the game.   And I don't care if MN Vikings win in a blowout.  I'm trying to say that Oakland is not a good team in any which way.  They have no talent on either side of the ball.  And this is a home game at the University of Minnesota, which is still in MN.  They have a home field advantage any way you look at it. 

Also, if Ponder is abysmal how did he score 20+ points his last 13 games? 

Again not ment to bash your posts just putting in my 2 cents.  We can agree to disagree.  GL

Vikings -3

Minnesota will have 2 quarterbacks play that are back up caliber.  And Matt Cassel is not as bad as everyone thinks.  He put up points all year last year.  It was there horrible tampa 2 defense that cost them last year.  Teddy Bridgewater may not be ready to start but he was the most pro-ready QB in this years draft.  There defense is completely overhauled and Mike Zimmer who ran a good bengals defense in the past will have these guys playing much better.  comments are welcome and GL

I'm not going to say your wrong MrManning, but I highly disagree with your post.  First off Teddy Bridgewater may not be ready to start but according to Norv Turner he is giving Matt Cassel a run for his money.  Not like that is saying much as Cassel isn't a fantastic quarterback in the league, but he is decent.  The reason the Vikings were horrible last year is because of there defense.  Worst in the league! 

They changed there whole coaching staff and hired a terrific offensive coordinator in Norv Turner.  Mike Zimmer may not have experience in being a head coach but this guy is going to instill discipline in this team.

Adrian Peterson not starting is not that big of a deal either.  He is a great running back but there 3rd round draft pick Jerrick McKinnon is unreal and will have a good game.  There receivers are no joke with Patterson, Jennings, and Rudolph at tight end.  They also drafted Defense for most of this years draft. 

Christian Ponders last 13 games the Vikings have scored a minimum of 20 points or more.  He is not a starting quarterback in the NFL but he is capable of scrambling and scoring points.  Ultimately the Vikings have 3 quarterbacks that are at least back up caliber playing all game. 

Again not saying your post is wrong or you are for that matter but the Vikings are a completely different team this year.  I see them scoring points and there old Tampa 2 defense is gone.  Mike Zimmer will take care of the "D"     With that said I like the Vikings -3 points.  The Raiders have no QB's but Derek Carr who played under par defenses his whole career at Fresno State.  Good Luck with the rest of your year MrManning.
