Not surprisingly, the
New England Patriots are winning again and they're beginning to show more faith in their receivers. Meanwhile, the
Minnesota Vikings' unexpected emergence is due partly to a ground game they can finally trust.
With
Tom Brady's targets playing well, the Patriots look to extend a five-game road winning streak when they take on
Chester Taylor and the Vikings on Monday night.
New England (5-1) has won three straight since a 17-7 loss to Denver on Sept. 24, opening up a 1 1/2 -game lead over the
New York Jets in the AFC East. After missing the playoffs last season and bringing in a new coaching staff, Minnesota (4-2) has been a surprise contender in the NFC. The Vikings are coming off a 31-13 win at Seattle that ended the defending NFC champion Seahawks' 12-game home win streak, including playoffs.
See, I am just not buying into the Patriots this year...but, do I really think the Vikings are set on the ground?..What the heck, I am gonna go out on a limb and bet the upset here...Vikings 23 Patriots 21 Win Patriots Tickets!
