Buccaneers vs. Vikings NFL Odds 2011 Week 2

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the house of the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday September 18th,2011.

The current betting line is Vikings -3 point favorites and the total is set at 41½ .

Not only did Tom Brady throw for more yards in one drive than Donovan McNabb had in the entire game (39) but so did 30 other quarterbacks – not to mention probably a few backs and receivers.

In a record-setting week for NFL QB’s, McNabb and the Vikings were completely shut down by the Chargers to the tune of 407-187 in yardage domination.

Thanks to an opening kick-off return and a Nate Kaeding injury, the Vikings managed the cover, but don’t expect the same this betting week.

Not only is Minny is 0-3 ATS in home openers but they haven’t beaten, or brought home the cash (0-4 SU and ATS), against Tampa since they shared a division in 2001.

And while Bucs’ HC Raheem Morris does his best work on the road (12-3 ATS), the clincher comes from our betting database: Game Two nondivision road dogs off a SU loss versus an opponent off a SU loss are 31-11 ATS since 1980.

With the wrong team favored this afternoon in the Twin City, we recommend grabbing the fi eld goal ASAP. This line can only go one way.
