I think Denver gets their first decent win in a while. 27-14 Denver

The defense was 32nd last year and dismissed earlier this year. The offense has been scrutinized, described as vomit (Rob Ryan), and given little credit as a unit. And I know for darn sure Tebow is approaching this game with a very serious tone. There is zero reason why the Broncos should be expected to relax against the Vikings. Every win is massive, they're finally in the hunt late after years of terrible seasons. Bailey and Dawkins will remind the team of that.

Regardless of records, there are trap games. This is one of them.

Oh and I don't need a history lesson of the team, I'm well aware of everything.

If AP plays, I'll take the Vikings.

Pats (I know but they're playing the Colts),Jets,49ers,Ravens and maybe the Cowboys. Though I predicted the Vikes will only score 12 points so can't say it's a bad pick.

This is not a trap game. The line is Minn +1.5. Not really sure why though

[dhsmustang]

+1.5 because Tim Tebow is terrible on 3rd down, which is correlated with winning percentage and factors into lines

[Jonsco28]

I get you are saying the Vikings are favored, but the current line is Minnesota -2. Minnesota +1.5 would have Denver as the favorite.

The Vikings should be favored. They're home, they have a good run D and Denver doesn't have the best passing game. Considering home teams generally get a 3 point cushion, the line is about right on point (pretty much calling it a toss up).
