Tampa Bay + 9

So Minnesota would be your strongest play based on your predictions?

I did not want to post to much of my reasoning as I am a new poster and need to earn some credit. Minnesota is by far my strongest pick. I think that their defensive pass rush will cause Luck fits. He has a lot to learn even being a supposed "pro ready" quarterback. I think that Jared Allen being shutout in the first week will be hungry and get a few sacks. I think Adrian Peterson will go bananas against a Colts defense that has Dwight Freeney hurt. The colts are also missing Austin Collie which will contribute to offensive woes. I know Minnesota was played tough by Jacksonville but the first week of the season anything can happen. I don't think overall the Vikings are a top team but this week they should roll. Luck will have fits dealing with that defense in his face all day.
