    Weather forecast for Foxboro Saturday night is temps in the low or mid-30s and no precip. If that holds, a little flutter on the over might be worth a shot.

    Saints up to -8 at most of your finer establishments. Can anyone make a case for the Vikings?

    They had a tough time with Miami at home. Unless Miami developed into a good team by week 17, take the points.

    The game is at 1:00 est. It's the only time frame where Kirk Cousins plays well.



    Don't @ me. I'm not saying I like the Vikings at -8. You wanted someone to make a case for the Vikings.

    If Cook's healthy, Vikings could score enough to cover. Saints D pretty banged up.

    Lots of money on the Eagles, who go from one-point dog to 1.5-point favorite.

    I can see the Vikings winning or getting clobbered. Taking eight points sounds like a fishing expedition and just hoping for a late bite.

    The Patriots have turned in stinkers against the Dolphins before only to start looking like the Patriots again in the playoffs.

    Jump on Seattle before sane people begin betting.

    Is this the first time they've had both AFC games on one day, and both NFC games on the other? Seems like they always have one from each conference on each day.
