Minnesota +3.5
After losing big to Seattle, Minnesota has to refocus again, and they had enough time to do so. That loss was a major step back, and if they want to start it all over again, they have to do what they did at Indiana, and that's start a streak with a good road effort. This should be the most winnable game on their upcomming 3 game road trip that starts Tuesday. First of all, they are will be well rested against Sacramento while they will play on 0 and 1 days of rest against Seattle and Phoenix after that. Second, they are 2-2 in last 4 vs Sacramento and 1-9 combined in last 10 vs Phoenix and Seattle. Finally, Sacramento is only 1-3 while Phoenix stands at 3-1 (3-0 home) and Seattle is 3-2 (1-0 home). This is definately their best chance to get back on track and if they lose this one they could easily be a 3-4 team when they come back home. Sacramento played only two different teams in 4 games this season and regardless of their two days of rest since the last game, I believe that they will have hard time keeping their energy level up after two fast paced games vs Phoenix including the last one that went to OT.
