The Under in the Minne/Atl game may be a problem based on what the head coaches are saying:
"Falcons coach Jim Mora said his starting quarterback will play more -- perhaps quite a bit -- in Friday's exhibition game against the Vikings than he did last Thursday, when he took three snaps at Baltimore. Mora said all starters, including Vick, probably will play more than a quarter Friday."
"Vikings coach Mike Tice might deploy his first-team offensive unit for a longer stretch. Tice is looking for his high-powered offense to show regular-season form. The offense got off to a sluggish start last week. Said Tice, "How long is Daunte (Culpepper) and Randy (Moss) and Michael (Bennett) and that group going to play? Maybe the first quarter, maybe into the second quarter. I don't want to put any type of time on it because they're going to stay in it until we're happy. It took us four series to really get some rhythm the other night, and I'm looking for that rhythm to occur a little bit sooner.
The first-team offensive line, which will be without center Matt Birk (pelvis) again tonight, definitely will see some action into the second half. Tice likes to have that unit start the third quarter in the second exhibition game to help it get accustomed to playing after sitting down at halftime."

I did read that. Call it a hunch...but if Vick gets hit hard in the first series or two, I don't think he comes back in. Mora is saying the right things, but when it comes down to their franchise, he'll sit him in a heart beat.
That's a lot of points for the reserves to score. We'll see what happens.
Best of luck if you go the other way!
