Vikings/Packers O 37.5

You think so? The Vikings have one of the best defenses in the league if not the best. Aaron Rodgers is not expierenced..look what happened in the preseason game against the 9ers..he got sacked 4 times in one quarter. Now for the Vikings..Jackson is not 100% healthy and they are a running team which will keep the clock moving. Plus the Packers have a good defense..

I'm taking Vikes/Packers Under. Looking for a grind it out type running game from both sides.

You're right.. To tell you the truth this is gonna sound dumb, but it's been such a crazy weekend so far i think we will be surprised by something one of these 2 teams has... I think there is a chance Rodgers is impressive, A chance peterson just dominates the Packers D. And i think there is going to be alot of emotion on both sides of the ball it being a monday night division/season opener... I mean i can see both teams putting up atleast 17 points...

Didn't play either, but if I had to choose, Packers UNDER.

Minnesota defensive line will be in Green Bay backfield all game and Vikes will run the ball most of the time.

Why not leave the 50/50 o/u of the NFL games and play Over in the MLB's Dodgers/Padres game?

Is there such a thing as SAFE O/U?

I'd say Oakland/Denver U41... Oakland's secondary should be awesome this year and take away big plays. Denver runs the ball well anyway and Oakland still may be vulnerable there. With Fargas / McFadden / Bush, Raiders will be running a lot too... I see lots of long drives, lots of punts and FGs...

I think I'm going with the Over on the Oakland/Denver game. Both defenses are atrocious! Both Oakland and Denver gave up an average of 25 points last year. I understand Oakland tried to bolster their secondary with the additions of Wilson and Hall, but I don’t see them making much of an impact in Week 1. I can’t with any comfort pick a team here to win; but I do expect a sloppy, high scoring affair, so I’m going with the over.
