There are other games going on this weekend besides NE/IND!
SD covered -9.5 vs OAK and -10 vs HOU. I'm seeing a great play with SD -7 vs MIN. The SD offense is rolling again and the defense is playing well. PHI and DAL showed that stopping the run against MIN is a gaurantee to win the game. T-Jack (a terrible qb to start with) has a broken finger but might start, Kelly Holcomb is out with a neck injury, and who knows about Brooks Bollinger.
I think this will be closer than people think. Minnesota is good against the run. It all comes down to Phillip Rivers. Also Peterson should gets some first downs here. I think it lands right on the line here. Teasing either way might be the way to go.
