Week 8: Thursday Night Football: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-4) @ Minnesota Vikings (5-2)

[55]

Thursday Night game.

Starting this now, as to avoid thinking about the end of today's game.

I figure the Vikings will be about a 7 point favorite in this one.

Their defense scares me a bit.

The Bucs beat the Vikings in Minnesota the last time they played last season and have beaten the Vikings in five straight games.

The Vikings are tough at home. Jackson will cause some match up problems. Ponders still making some rookie type mistakes, but if AD is back like he was today. I like the Vikings chances. I say 28-21 Vikings. The X factor is HARVIN!

I love these divisional, black-and-blue, NFC Central matchups.

Wait a minute...

I'm happy that World Series Game 2 coincides with this one.

I'm taking the Vikings. Harvin is quietly having a great year while AP and Ponder don't make many mistakes. Bucs didn't look bad today they just need big Josh to start winning games late again.

The Vikings will easily win this game... I'm calling it 27-10. AP goes off and Freeman has a bad day.

If Peterson gets 20+ carries they will win. I know the Bucs pass defense is a joke but Ponder still isn't ready to carry the load.

Let's go Bucs.
