    Default Is Minnesota +3 @ Houston a trap???

    I think It most likely is a trap since Minnesota is overall a better team which should be favored in this match-up. I don't like the " too good to be true" offer here. I stay away from the side bet, but leaning to Over 39.

    I thought the exact same thing. Just like Chicago earlier on vs Denver but looks who prevailed. This line will go down before gametime to maybe +2/2.5 ?

    I don't care what anyone says... There is must game wins in preseason! I admit, I thought tonight was a must game win for the Broncos but quite Frankly they just don't have the squad to beat anyone this year. If the Broncos would of had a decent squad and Orton would not have gotten hurt they would of tooken the Bears tonight. The Texans on the other hand have a really good squad and a head coach that needs to prove himself and what better time then monday night football at HOME . Yes Favre has to prove himself to the minnesota faithful but the only thing he has to prove is how not to screw up a team that was already a playoff team to begin with. Not only that, he split a locker room in half. Minnesota is gonna be in the post season as long as everybody stays healthy and Favre hands it off and completes 3rd n short passes but we all know Favre and he'll always take the chance .Trust me , Take Houston tomorrow night!

    i can't do it...like the vikes too much with the oline and the defense the vikings will have as well as ad and percy. On top of that if farve isn't doing too well i see t.jackson coming in and proving himself for the 3rd preseason game in a row. Houston is good, but the vikings have a better squad imo. I think farve has the locker thing worked out for the most part by now.

    I haven't seen Houston play, so i cant tell if they are a flop or not. Beating KC means jack shit to me

    I have seen them the last few years and they're progressing as a team . They have a good T.E., Great WR, Awesome DL and an excellent coaching staff. OL is pretty good.

    Too good to be true? Maybe it is - Houston should win by 7+.

    You are underestimating the Texans here, and there is no way the Vikings should be favored AT Houston.

    Seriously, this line is right where it should be. If this was the regular season, Houston would be -4 or -4.5, given the Texans' potentially explosive offense and Minnesota's poor play on the road in recent years. And I am still not convinced that the Vikings have the better team either.

    I don't know LT, I think it stays close and then Tavaris comes in an wins the game for the Viks. Houston is an explosive offense Schuab and Andre are capable of scoring from just about anywhere on the field. I am going with a small bet on the MIN ML.

    So I'm being silly and taking a 6.5 teaser on a +3.5 Vikings line... figure vikings +10 sounds safe. I'm just not sure about the 2nd half of the teaser, the over/under. Which sounds better, Under 45.5 (both teams have been hitting the under lately) or Over 32.5 (both have pretty good offense)?

    Took Min. and the over with a 7 point teaser. Favre will be better than last week; Peterson; second half will have combination of Jackson/Rosenfels- both are serviceable.
    Texans can move the ball against most teams - just hope they can score against a really good Vikings D which is the only thing that concerns me, but I think it will go over the teased total. I've noticed the over hitting more often this preseason. I think it's a pretty solid bet.

    Min. +10 over 31.5 (7 pt. tease) -small Good Luck

    I am on the Vikings tonight, I don't really see this game as a trap even though it is a home game for Houston. Brett plays well on Monday nights and he will be in the entire first half. The Vikings third and fourth teams are just plain better than the Texans.

    I think that the game will be close but the Vikings win outright 20-17

    FWIW, 'play on any undefeated game three road dog versus an opponent off a DD loss'. Was 15-2-1 ATS when I got it in the mail. Is now 17-2-1 with a game in hand.

    This game is an RLM wet dream.

    70% are on Minnesota ATS, yet line has gone from -3 +100 to -3.5 -105
    72% are on Minnesota ML, yet line has gone from -163 to -188
    74% are on the Over, yet the total has gone from 41 to 40

    LT let the public lose their money like they do all the time! You can't explain anything to them sometimes. They know everything that we do, but yet alot of us do this for a living and don't have to work! It is our wildest dream to see things like this
