I like the Vikings in the early game. I think Minny defense steps up as they have in recent weeks overall they have the #6 total defense and the Giants are still banged up on the offensive line with two starters out. Vikings have injury problems of their own, but I expect Favre to play and if he doesn't I think Jackson poses a lot of issues for the Giants anyway. IN the end this will be a low scoring and close game til the end.
Ravens play a bad defense in Houstonw ho is ranked 31st and not getting any better. I expect Houston to be stopped offensively as they struggle vs. physical defenses. Ravens will get the out right win in this spot as their offense will click as JOe Flaco throws over 300 yards with Mason and Boldin having huge days.
