    Vikings ml +248 in Pittsburgh

    That's my play this week. The Vikings will stuff the Steelers and pull out a grinders road win.

    The Saints defense was horrible and the Steelers are much better at home, the Vikings secondary also has holes after Smith and Rhodes, Steelers should roll, the Vikings horrible offensive line gets exposed on the road.

    Minn has upgraded their O Line with 5 new starters. Much different than last year. Close game will take the 6.

    My thoughts exactly. I might be willing to lay the -6... My old man likes the Vikings but he's just going based on MNF. Steelers home opener...

    5 new starters vs a complicated blitz scheme is a big ask. Especially when the qb's best attribute isn't pocket awareness.

    I'm not so sure they don't just need to be home. Their offense has stunk on the road for some time.

    That is a great price on a very sound team tho, no arguing that. Might make it more scary in my mind but none the less great price.

    That might be true but the Vikings defense is sound. Zimmer knows how to shut down the Steelers from his Cincy days.

    The Vikings have new starters on the offensive line but I don't think the line will be very good, there are no pro bowlers on this line and many of the players are guys that other teams did not want.

    Week 1 to 2 is the biggest change in NFL imo. Not saying this won't hit, but minn played against a horrible young def. Why not hit pats - 6.5 on the road with saints. Or hell. Tease pats -. 5 and minn +12.5

    Viking rush defense is strong, Bell won't beat them, Brown can, Bell can only beat them if Vikings blitz and Ben plays pitch and catch with Bell as a safety valve. Bell after all is the best in the business at catching the ball out of the backfield. Vikings defense is going to have their hands full, forget Julio Jones, Bell is the best wide out in the league, and has been for years.

    Vikings win if they can limit the damage that the Pitt offense can do, and if week 2 Bradford is the same as week 1 Bradford, Rudolph has to be more involved this week as well.

    Steelers easy here. Vikings can't be trusted to score with Ben and Co in Pittsburgh. Lev Bell goes off!

    When was the last time Lakerboy hit a pick let alone a ML dog, let alone a ML dog around +250?

    at +248 I would take the vikes. Pitt is more likely to win but at +248 with their defense I think it's a reasonable play
