Submitted by M-Wolverine on
Ok, it already looks like we headed for multiple threads, so to save the mods some headaches, NFL/Lions comments, questions, observations, under one tidy roof.

Favre should have hung up his cleats! Lions win! Vikings don't have a deep threat, which plays into the Lions hands, since we don't have good DBs.

Because the Lions seem to drop a turd in Minnesota more than anywhere else, but they look closer to a 2-0 team than Minnesota has. Add that the Lions can score, and the Vikes offense has been abysmal, if the Lions can score a few points, that becomes a huge spread. Maybe not the best bet of the day, but a good one.

I got em in a teaser at +18.5.

 

Even if they get blown out early (unlikely cuz Vikes have no weapons at WR), Lions got a good shot of backdoorin that line...

More likely Best breaks 1 or 2 runs and Lions put up 14-20 pts.

by the rules I hate the most: the NFL's roughing the passer rules.  Why is the quarterback's head more special than anyone else's?  That penalty won't get called for anyone else.

Schwartz needs to grow some on those 3-2 calls. This is a throwing league. That run to the right was completely predictable. No way you're gonna get two against the Vikings DL when they can easily read your play.
