Vikes vs Pats - Pick it Here!

What the hell.  I've been wrong on about every pick I've made this year, so...
Vikings:  28
Patriots:  24

I'd sure feel better about this one with Rhodes and a fully healthy Diggs. But I'll say that the Vikings get after Brady and Dalvin Cook exploits the Patriots inability to stop receiving backs. 

Vikings 34 - Pats 24

Not close I'm afraid. 31-21 New England.

Since I was right last week and don't feel as confident of a victory this week.  Maybe I should recluse myself. I would really like to be wrong about what I think.
Well since I said I'm ok with being wrong what do I got to lose. I'll just say what I want then.
34-27  Vikes!!! So good luck guys.

31-20 Patriots. They are undefeated at Home this year and are averaging 35.4 points per game at Foxboro. I think we will struggle to contain their passing game now that they have a healthy Gronk and their OLine is playing at a high level. Just too many weapons to cover with Gronk, Edleman, Gordon, Hogan, and Michel and White coming on in the running game. We also struggle against teams that run a 3-4 scheme so I don't like that matchup with our Offensive Line. Kirk will need to do his best Brady impression and get the ball out early and often with Cook and Rudolph needing to make a big contribution to keep it competitive. 

Its on TV here in south Florida. Go Vikings but I'm not optimistic.

Team has to prove to me they can win big road games vs winning teams...Until then?

Pats 24
Vikes 19

31/27 Vikings pull away in the second half and hold down a late drive by the golden boy.

27-17 pats

Attack, attack, attack.   Let Cousins be the QB they brought him in here to be.  Do not go into the shell if the ball gets turned over.  Think Bert Favre "it's just like a punt" and keep attacking.  Much like the Rams game, the Vikings are going to need to score... a lot.  DO NOT settle for 3 once you're on inside the 35... you know Brady will not. 

Vikings -38
Pats - 35

If the Vikings win it then I can only see it being a shoot out.
If Diggs is out then it is tougher for the Vikings to score a lot because they will only have one other receiving threat in Theilen.
Well, Treadwell may threaten but actually doing something is another thing.
I worry a lot about Mac on Edelman.
