The Minnesota Vikings put everything they had into the opener vs. the Saints. A lot of what they did in the summer was based on game one, so they have to be feeling a bit down. Brett Favre looked all of 41 years of age in the opener. He'll be hard pressed to do what he did last year, and on a bum ankle and limited action thus far, it isn't going to be as easy as he made it look in the past. Favre and the Vikings’ offense looked completely out of sorts in week one. It was clear that Favre has very little confidence in any wide receiver. His favored pass last week was the check-down to Visanti Schiancoe. The Vikes will improve, but I don't think a short week is going to fix it all at once. The Dolphins’ strength on offense goes right into the teeth of the Vikings’ defensive strength - stopping the run. Miami will certainly try to run the ball and that easts up clock. This is a good spot for an UNDER based on the tendancies of these two teams. The Dolphins are 10-4 to the UNDER in their last 14 road tilts, and 17-7 to the UNDER off a win. The Vikings are 10-1 to the UNDER in their last 11 week two games. I'll play this one to come up short of the total.
