Patriots favored by 6
This should be a fun one. Brady sure isn't what he used to be. Was listening to a radio show this morning about how it's now his receivers who are making him look better than he is, rather than the reverse, which has been true for nearly 20 years. He's missing open receivers, looking sluggish and tired. Deep ball doesn't have the same zip. I haven't really paid much attention to the Pats this season but that seems to be the general buzz.
Still, nobody beats the Patriots at home in December. I don't know what their record is at home in December, but I know it's very good. And, of course, they have Gronk back and now Burkhead as well. Anyone know Zimmer's record against Brady?

Spread is down to 5...somebody must think the Vikes have a chance...at least to keep it close.

I'm actually more excited about this game than I was for the Packer game. Should be a doozy. It'll have a playoff feel. No mistakes, we win.
I'm concerned about the weather forecast. Mid 40's and 100% chance of rain throughout the game.
With not much of a run game, turnovers could be an issue. However, that could go either way. But I would think the indoor team would be at a disadvantage.

It won't be raining by game time.
