I will obviously not be wagering on this game, however i just wanted some insight from you NFL guru's as to why the hawks are a 2.5 favorite hear on the road with graham and lynch out. Are the seahawks still vegas overrated? Are my vikes just not good? A bit puzzled on the hawks being a favorite here...any insight here?

I think Minnesota's a "live bet team". Seems like if they get ahead by two scores, the game's over. If they get down by two scores, game's over. That's my impression.
As for the Hawks being favored, they're just a public team. That kid Rawls has been an absolute stud though...wouldn't discount his impact.Comment -
Rawls has been a great replacement for lynch and Graham really hasn't been a factor this season in the way he was being utilized and just the last game was a great target. His back up is Luke Willson a great TE for us and Wilson to Willson will be a key factor in today's gameComment -
id argue lynch and to a lessor extent graham being out are good for sea. rawls runs harder than a banged up past his prime lynch been running this season and graham never really fit with the identity of this team. ill never understand why a power fb team traded for a soft te who doesnt block?
i like your vikings but fact is the next 2 weeks are nightmare matchups for them as sea and zona are incredibly tough to run on. minny just doesnt have the wrs or game plan to put many points up if they cant get ap and the run game rolling. the defense is good enough to keep them in it but it so hard to beat top teams without top flight qb play and passing game.Comment -
Seahawks have good defense against the run. You stop AP you stop the Vikings. I'd take Wilson over Bridgewater any day.Comment -
i hear you guys...most likely not looking good for my vikes today

If Seattle gets up 7-0, might be worth a live bet.Comment -
Vikings have been solid all year aside from a strange game vs SF to start. That said, they have zero wins against good teams. They could prove something today.Comment -
Vikings MLComment -
I would say this line is not that bad anyone who knows this Seahawks team loosing graham has little impact on Seahawks back up running back is hungry and pro active it should be a great game enjoy itComment -
Seattle's identity is in their D and it is not looking too good right now. Minny has been a ATS killer and Seattle is not the team of past two years. Give me the 8-3 home underdog with little respect from the public. Waiting for +3 but if you guys don't bump it up I may take the 2 or 2.5Comment -
This is one those games you can tell is already over. Bridgewater looks in over his head here.Comment -
hate to admit but seagirls are the pickComment -
Vikings are done even though the game is 7-0. Vikings normally lose when they fall behind early. Compound that with the fact the Vikings are not tackling and Bridgewater is a deer in the headlights.Comment -
Lol @ Vikings defense....3 and 1..the world knows it's Rawls up the middle and he springs for 20...Comment -
Lockett is killing the Vikes...refs are killing the Vikes...fans are booing..nothing is going right...14-0 right around the corner...get the Vikings off the TV...Comment -
Two bad calls by the refs kept both of the Seattle TD drives alive. Refs will make sure their golden boys gets to the playoffs.Comment -
There's always next year... (I've been saying that my entire life)

21-0 right around the corner...Vikings need to bench Bridgewater at the half and put the backup in.. Shaun Hill has more 30 attempt games than Teddy.Comment -
Here we go seahawks here we go !!!!!!Comment -
Blood bathComment -
A loss here is bad news for Minny. They will fall behind the Packers (Green Bay won the first meeting) and their last two away games are at Arizona and Green Bay. If they end up in a tie with Seattle for the wild card spot, the Seahawks will own the tiebreaker. The #5 team plays the #4 team which will be the winner of the pathetic NFC East. The #6 team will probably end up going to Green Bay. It is quite possible that Minnesota plays in Green Bay two weeks in a row.Comment
