Bobby Babowski's Prediction: First off, buy this to Vikings (+10) and sit back and enjoy as REJUVENATED QB Donovan McNabb, finally has a BEAST BACK, Adrian Petersen, and just manages the game, even if yes, they don’t have many offensive weapons, yes even if the DT Williams machine is out due to steroid nonsense, etc...I don’t understand for the life of me how this line can be so high, in fact, it's actually scaring me I like it so much, as though it’s a trap, but traps are for mice. If you like the game, you analyze it, etc, you play it, you don’t look back. The Vikings may surprise some people this season, as first off, (oh yes, be sure to also play on the regular season over 7 wins for the VIKINGS) as they should easily, easily win 8 games. Granted they play in a solid division but they also host Denver, Oakland, Arizona, and Tampa Bay in the Metrodome. Back to the play. The Chargers are a NOTORIOUS slow starting team as almost every year they start out with a losing record the first month of the year, heck they can still win handily and Vikings get two scores? No way. Vikings not only cover this game but don’t be surprised if they win outright. Take the Vikings with the BEAST and McNabb having a ton to prove to himself and his skeptics. Remember, buy a point to +10 with the VIKINGS!! I'll take the best running back in football plus a ton of points no matter who else is supporting casts.
Minnesota +9 (buy to +10)
