Exclusive Betting Preview Vikings-Packers

Earlier today, we took a look at against the spread betting trends for the Vikings-Packers and Broncos-Raiders. Now let’s review some sports betting news and notes. NFL betting odds see
If you haven’t already heard that Aaron Rogers takes over for Brett Favre at QB for
This could easily be a low scoring game reports Bob Warner of ScoresOddsPicks.com. He notes that
He will be matched up against Chad Clifton who is a top pass blocker though.
However, the Vikings are without suspended defensive tackle Bryant McKinnie, starting Artis Hicks instead.
For those who weigh preseason results, note that Vikings superstar running back Adrian Peterson averaged just 2.6 yards per carry on 20 rushing attempts in the preseason.
Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy leads the staple of handicappers with picks on tonight’s MNF doubleheader.
Scouts Inc. believes that the game films dictate that the Vikings are vulnerable against the slant pass.
Who To Bet On For the MNF Games
As promised, the first full weekend of regular season football was a godsend (literally) for sharp players. The Vikings-Packers plus Raiders-Broncos offers sports bettors a great chance to increase on their winnings.
Here is the objective rundown of who is hot and who has the big play for Monday Night Football action.

Yesterday, we nail Wise Guy plays on blowouts
While Duffy is clearly the best of the sports handicappers, he is clearly a tremendous political handicapper as well. The latest Gallup/USA Today poll confirms what Duffy told us last week, that John McCain is now the favorite in the election. Duffy was so far ahead of the curve.
Now that MSNBC rid of left-wingers Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews on their election coverage team, they may want to hire a true fair and balanced political handicapper like Joe Duffy, CEO of OffshoreInsiders.com
However, the political betting odds still have Obama and Biden favorites over McCain and Palin.
Sportsbooks generally take down futures bets before Sunday kickoff and bring them back no earlier than Tuesdays, but we look forward to seeing how the Tom Brady injury affects the Super Bowl futures. BetUs Sportsbook is generally the most accurate.

NFL
Denver-Oakland UNDER 41
Both teams are depleted at wide receiver. As reported in the Press-Democrat: “The Raiders’ receiving corps was already thin before Drew Carter tore his left ACL in the third exhibition game. He’ll miss the entire season. That left the team with Ronald Curry, Javon Walker and a collection of young guys with little NFL experience to their credit.
Curry, though he lacks game-breaking speed, has been a valuable part of the Raiders’ offense for several years.
The newspaper further states, “The Raiders also have Johnnie Lee Higgins, Todd Watkins and Chaz Schilens for JaMarcus Russell to throw to. Their combined NFL reception total: six catches, all by Higgins last year. Schilens is a rookie, and Watkins is getting his first NFL action after bouncing around a few teams.”
Finally, in Phil Barber’s article he states, “And the situation is nearly as dire for the Broncos.
They have one top-flight receiver, big Brandon Marshall, who exploded for 102 catches and 1,325 yards last season. The league, however, suspended
Jay Cutler’s other options at wide receiver include a couple of solid possession receivers in Brandon Stokley and Keary Colbert, veteran Darrell Jackson (let go by the 49ers after he dropped numerous passes in 2007), rookie Eddie Royal and Edell Shepherd, who has 13 receptions in four NFL seasons.”
Conversely, as reported in the Mercury News, the cornerbacks are top notch. “
But when it comes to the top cornerback tandem, Hall and Nnamdi Asomugha get the nod over the Broncos’ Bailey and Dre‘ Bly, as well as the league’s 30 other pairs, Hall and the Raiders say.
Raiders defensive coordinator Rob Ryan doesn’t hesitate when asked if Hall and Asomugha merit top billing. But why stop there? Throw in nickel back Stanford Routt, and the Raiders claim to have the best trio of cornerbacks.
‘We’re going to prove it Monday night,’ Ryan said.
Bly begs to differ. He said the longevity and statistics associated with Bly and Bailey make any comparison an open-and-shut case.”
As Bob Warner of ScoresOddsPicks.com tells us, “Simply put, it’s two of the best DBs corps are going against two of the weakest WR corps.”
The respective quarterbacks are in the bottom 10 as well. We see a lot of running and a lot of punting.
