Vikings still not getting respect. Underdogs @ Oakland

[RavensFan2k3]

NO way Minn even comes close if TB is out..isn't he concussed?

He'll play

[squib]

Minnesota will not have the offensive output to keep up with the Raiders.

Raiders averaging 36 points a game in the last 3 weeks.

Vikes have a great defense and your statement about Oak avg 36 points in the last weeks, supports my view of treating the NFL week to week. May have scored 36 leading up but next week who knows.

Good luck on whatever you decide

[TheMartian]

Good luck with Murray he's one hit away from eating out of a straw while AP is in beastmode and Teddy H20 has been practicing and passing concussion protocol

thanks for the update on teddy. I think zimmer will have a chip on his shoulder all week and leading into the game based on his post game conference.

Minny d very good and extremely well coached, great I think is a stretch. They are not a elite defense like Denver. Raiders won't touch the output they have had in recent weeks that is a given, problem for minny is oak will still get in the 23-24 range and I just don't believe that a number the Vikings can achieve on the road vs what been a reasonably solid oak rush defense.

Clueless, fade

[1017BrickSquad]

Vikes have burned me past 3 weeks fading them might have to take them this week

That's what everyone said about the Jets defense. They also gave up 30+ points to the Raiders.

Derek Carr playing well, and even better at home.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Yeah record difference aside Raiders playing very well and all but 1 gm lost to Bungles early on have been nail biter winnable games could have gone either way. Minny playing well no doubt and that defense is legit but no reason if your just basing off w/l record should they be faves in this spot. Gonna be close one both teams score in low 20's I believe.

[birdman24]

Everyone, pound minny and don't think twice. They are the lock of the century!!!!

Hehe, I see what you did there.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Noticed someone said AP is in "beastmode". Definitely NOT having a great year overall and many weeks been barely noticeable. People who think this older version of AP is still elite and reason behind Minnys success also think Peyton should be mvp candidate and reason Denver is winning so many.

[daneblazer]

AP is a shell of his former self, but that still puts him in the top 5 rb in the league.

I don't watch Oakland so I don't know...does Oakland have someone who can cover a route runner like Diggs? Guy is a game changer.

Minnesota is really well coached. They don't miss many assignments, are a tackling machine, and are the least penalized team in the league...which makes me lean to under 42

[R.P. McMurphy]

Guess I was a bit off on AP just looked at his stats last Sunday had his best day overall vs a stout defense for once this season. Still he's ran for under 100 four times this season and had found paydirt just 2x going into last wk, few of his best games vs horrible defenses on year. Still believe most Vikes success on the year is defense based and with emergence of Diggs that offense getting a bit more rounded.

I'm looking at this game though and see more fg's than td's myself which is typical for a Vikes gm this year. If Teddy plays or not I would think the offense centers mainly around Pederson this wk trying the ball control gm to help protect Bridge and keep Carr off field. Kickers should be busy in this one!

[imadegen]

tough to call game. latavius murray out hurts.

Sometimes raiders D actually looks decent. Their offense isn't in question but didn't DJ Hayden get injured as well?

Peterson could go off.

[pavyracer]

They lost to the 49ers in the Bay. Oakland has the advantage here.

[TheMartian]

If you watch Peterson he always gets better the later it gets in the year and when November rolls around he's unstoppable. He torched a good Rams Defense and didn't even get that many carries. The Raiders gave up 170 yards to D'angello Williams so AP probably goes for 150+ yards and a couple TD's on that soft Raiders defense

[16kredit]

Ummmm... didnt even get that many carries? He had 29 carries vs STL.... smh. Also had 2 fumbles.

[BuckyOne]

They lost to the 49ers in the Bay. Oakland has the advantage here.

That's a good point - they played pretty crappy that day - not sure what the reason was.

[daneblazer]

Probably because the game was at 2 in the morning

Your first statement is correct but that was 8 games ago. A lot has changed since then, some teams got better and some worse.

ive used these angles in the past of east coast teams travelling to the west or vice versa and got burned. Just saying that these angles can't solely be used to base your picks.

[daneblazer]

Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) was cleared to practice Wednesday and is expected to play Week 10 against the Raiders.

Bridgewater took a shoulder-to-helmet hit last Sunday against the Rams but quickly progressed through the league's protocol. He'll be on the two-quarterback-league radar in a plus matchup on the road against Oakland.

Vikes have been the easiest wager of all NFL this season.

Zimmer has an obvious clue.

[daneblazer]

Kyle Rudolph is about worthless

Soon as he dropped it I said that play could end up being the difference. That the worst drop I recall ever seeing. lol.
