Seahawks in Store for an Old Fashioned Beating at Vikings
In an NFL football odds season where we’ve seen the disparity between the league’s ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ widen to previously unseen levels. This match up is a perfect illustration between the gulf of talent that now exists between the NFL football odds’ best and worst teams.
The Seattle Seahawks are an awful team and the Minnesota Vikings are perhaps the best in the NFL odds. When these two teams meet in week 11 in the Metrodome the result should hardly be in doubt.
The Vikings will this game because they’re simply a much better team. The only question is how bad will the damage be?
The early football odds on this game favor the home team by 11 points. That’s a big spread, but it might not be big enough to accurately reflect the talent disparity between the two teams.
At 3-6 the Seachickens have very little going for them. The star RB Julius Jones has had moderate success and QB Matt Hasselbeck has his moments. But the offensive line is weak and this offense scares no one, which is a shame because the defense is a doormat. It gives up an average of 22 points and 338 yards a game.
And that’s against normal teams, not the two beasts of Adrian Peterson and Brett Favre. The Vikings will again give Favre a light load and let Peterson run over the top of the hapless ‘Hawks.
11 points is a lot, but if you’re feeling gutsy, it might not be such a bad wager on the home team covering.
