Minnesota Vikings Betting
The 2009 Minnesota Vikings had a strong finish winning 9 of their final 12 games and getting their first 10 win season in eight years all with mediocre QB at the helm. 2009 will see the Vikings QB situation as a work in progress with a slight upgrade in depth with Sage Rosenfels acquired in a trade with Texas. The Vikings won 10 games even though opponents regularly stacked the box with 8 defenders daring the Vikings to pass. The constant is that the Vikings can still stop the run with their 1st ranked run defense 2 years in a row and Vikes and run the ball.

2008 Record: 10-6 (1st, NFC North)
Offensive Team Rank: 5th Rushing, 25th Passing, 12th Scoring
Defensive Team Rank: 1st Rushing, 18thnd Passing, 13th Scoring
Offensive Outlook: The Vikings were 12th in scoring last year despite all the negative media publicity on the QB situation. RB Peterson will rack up his usual numbers if not more this year. WR Berrian led all receivers with +20 yard catches as teams stacked the box and life will be easier with Harvin on the other wing or in the slot. The left side the OL is still the golden standard of Hutch and McKinnie. Team scoring may even go up this year with more weapons with improved QB play and less conservative offensive playcalling.
Defensive Outlook: Jared Allen led the Vikings with 14.5 Sacks which is why they traded for him and paid the big dollars. The Williams in the middle continue to anchor the #1 run defense that can put the Regular Season win total over 9. If the Williams are suspended expect some action on the Under 9 regular season wins immediately. The Vikings LB corps is still deep and expect monster EJ Henderson to return from his freak foot injury. CBs Antoine Winfield and Cedric Griffin got extensions bringing stability to corners. Expect the Vikings defense to be Super Bowl quality.
NFL Betting Tip - Green Bay Packers
Percy Harvin play props will be popular with the betting public as the ex Gator star has national exposure. Under on his receiving yards and catches in the first half of the season will have betting value.
