Vikings have a deeper depth in the line up in my opinion and with farve over there hes going to air it out and put up some numbers 2nite. I would wait and see if the line will go to 3.5+ and jump on it at that!
BOL to ya JED! im with u on the vikings!
Is that for Minny or for Houston that he's going to put up numbers tonight?
Just kidding. But seriously, who knows what is going to happen with Favre. He has been there 2 weeks now and they are going to let him play a full half with 2 weeks worth of getting to know his receivers and his line, etc etc.
Also, EVERYONE is on Minny. I would be surprised to see the line move to +3.5, but you never know.
Good luck with your picks. I am staying far far away from this game...
from what i see ive looked into it and Berrian(probable) is probably going to play, Percy Harvin , and Farve will play the whole first half also!
"I'm not going to sit here and make predictions," Favre said. "But I didn't come here to lose. I don't think any guy in that locker room is here to lose. I think we can be as good as we want to be."
so look for him to do some damage in hes maybe last season LOL? who knows with this guy.. he may die on the field of old age eventually
My 2 cents: Favre has no support in locker room. Majority of players want other QBs to start. Tonight players wont play, run or block hard for Farve.
3rd exhibition game, you have Houston going for the win versus a disgruntled Viking team with a QB that does not know the system.
Houston in a rout, easy.

Except Houston doesn't suck, Matt Shaub is way better than Orton, their team hasn't had to learn a whole new offensive system, there isn't a ton of drama surrounding the game and they aren't missing their star WR. Denver is a disaster. Houston is actually improving.
The Vikings, however, are having a near 40 year old man taking the field and trying to lead a team that hasn't had enough time to trust him and gel with him yet. Not to mentions that this particular QB absolutely sucks in domes.
a newspaper in Dallas from 2007:
"In 25 starts in domes in the 1990s, Favre posted a 10-15 record with 37 touchdowns, 36 interceptions, 59 sacks and a passer efficiency rating of 78.5 – well below his overall 87.1 efficiency rating for the decade. "
This is nothing like last night's game IMO.
If I were betting this game, I would take Houston 1H -2.5 because there is a much better chance of Favre sucking than doing well on a brand new team with little time to get comfortable with the timing of the offense and this teammates.
