    Saturday
    4:35 Vikings @ 49ers
    8:15 Titans @ Ravens

    Sunday
    3:05 Texans @ Chiefs
    6:40 Seahawks @ Packers



    I predict a home sweep. I'm not buying the Packers, but I don't see the Seahawks pulling off the upset. Who ya got?

    It will be an easy win for the Ravens

    The KC line opened at 8 last night. DraftKings wouldn’t let me teaser it down to 2 and ravens -3 for some reason at 11 am.

    Now that Cousins has some confidence that game could be interesting. They need to make sure Diggs doesn't throw hissy fits on the sideline. You can see meltdowns like he had today in 35-14 blow outs. But they were in that game the entire time.

    That could've been a disaster. Cousins has struggled but Diggs and Thielen riding his ass in the beginning of the season was absolute bullshit. The last thing you want your quarterback worrying about.

    With that being said, that Vikings team and their running game out of the 6 seed reminds me of a couple 2009/2010 teams we watched.

    I'll go:
    Vikings
    Chiefs
    Ravens
    Packers

    I'll probably bet that big Texans line though. They beat Kansas City earlier in the year in KC. Watson is the type of quarterback to always keep games close. Lay the points with the Packers big and take the Vikings points.

    I took these lines from DK . +8 sounds right.
    There must have been a lot of early action, maybe they took it off the board for a bit to get the line adjusted?

    Agree on the pack and the Texans, not touching the Viking game. Think the under 46 in the packer/Seahawks game looks nice.

    Gotta see what the weather looks like at Lambeau. The 49ers can just lay it on teams if they get an early score at home and create big defensive third down sacks/takeaways so it's a scary bet.

    The Vikings have the linebackers to matchup with both Kittle and the run the ball every direction style of offense. I imagine Kendricks will guard Kittle all game. And I don't trust Garroppolo whatsoever.

    Mahomes' ankle was still kinda gimpy in that game, wasn't it? I guess they could keep it tight, but if I hated money enough to bet on pt spreads I'd think a 31-21'ish result is more likely.

    Vikings
    Seahawks
    Ravens
    Chiefs

    I'm really liking the Vikings right now. I think their hardest game was New Orleans. I don't think the 49ers are as good, Vikings knock them out.

    If forced to Bet , I would pick 2 Favorites>>>Ravens and Chiefs who both can just manufacture points . Mahomes is healthy, back in shape. Watson had a terrific comeback versus Bills but he won't playing at KC and can't outshoot Mahomes.

    Those other 2 match ups will be too close to call>>>Vikings are pretty hot going in with big NO victory. Russel Wilson and Rogers both know how to win big games so I would give Seattle a slight edge with Marshaun and "unfinished business " ..hahaha

    3/4 quality games.... and who knows how #4 wouldve turned out if Wentz doesnt get hurt.

    I hope next week follows suit, but I can see a few beatdowns in there...

    I really like the way the Vikings play at the LOS on both sides of the ball.
    Will be an interesting game as the same can be said regarding San Fran.

    I trust Cousins more than Garrap tho, and the Vikings pass rush was the difference against be Saints.
    My pick of the week is taking the Vikings and the points, with a good chance they win outright for the money line.

    The Vikings just need to make sure they eliminate the token Xavier Rhodes/Harrison Smith blown coverage. It's happened too much this year and happened again. They're too good of players and physically gifted to let that happen.

    And they need to calm things down in the first quarter. If they can keep the first quarter low scoring they have a good chance to win the game.

    When the 49ers have destroyed teams, it starts early and quickly. The Vikings have a mismatch in pass protection but the running game and screen game can temper that.
