Miami<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Miami Dolphins are in the great in between in the NFL.\u00a0 Good enough to beat bad teams like Buffalo but a notch below division contenders like New York and New England.\u00a0 It is a good thing they got that first win out of the way last week because with their schedule they might be hard to come by this season.\u00a0 After visiting the Vikings they have home dates against the Jets and Pats.\u00a0 Looking at their schedule they may not be favoured in a game until November 18 when the Chicago Bears come to town.\u00a0 Without an upset or two their season could be over by that point.<\/p>\n

Their best chance at that upset is\u00a0 probably this week against Minnesota.\u00a0 It was clear last Thursday that the Vikes are still trying to figure some things out while the Dolphins know exactly what kind of team they are.\u00a0 Not surprising given Bill Parcells influence they want to rely on the running game to chew clock and shorten the game.\u00a0 They added Brandon Marshall at WR but as good as he is he is not a real gamebreaker, just a reliable set of hands for improving QB Chad Henne.\u00a0 The key is not to make any mistakes. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That is because the Dolphins defense isn\u2019t all that great.\u00a0 Last year they gave up 25 ppg which won\u2019t cut it with their offense.\u00a0 Their numbers against Buffalo were impressive but lets face it, Buffalo is no offensive juggernaut.\u00a0 The Dolphins just don\u2019t have any standout players on the defensive side of the ball.\u00a0 The signing of Karlos Dansby from Arizona was an upgrade but he had only 1 pick and 1 sack last year.\u00a0 Those are the impact plays this defense needs to create to be a more consistent winner.<\/p>\n

Minnesota<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Vikings opener against New Orleans was highly anticipated but also a huge snoozer.\u00a0 The Vikings looked like a team that was missing their top WR and had a QB that missed most of training camp, which they were.\u00a0 For a variety of reasons they were out of synch so even though the defense put the clamps on one of the league\u2019s best offense they are 0-1 and need to rebound with a more promising performance in week 2 against Miami.<\/p>\n

I know Brett Favre is a hall of famer but I still find it boggling that this team wants to be a passing team rather than hitching their wagon to stud RB Adrian Peterson.\u00a0 He may fumble more than they would like but he is also a fantastic talent capable of scoring on any play.\u00a0 Last week he averaged more than 4.5 per carry but saw less than 20 carries.\u00a0 Look for the Vikings to feed him the rock more often against Miami while they are still tryingt to sort out their passing game.\u00a0 Against the Dolphins he should be able to break some long gains.<\/p>\n

The Vikings are lucky to come home in week 2 and face a mediocre Dolphins team.\u00a0 Their defense was solid against New Orleans but will face a more ground heavy attack this week.\u00a0 Last week they limited the Saints to just over three yards per carry.\u00a0 If they can do that again versus Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams it will be an even easier victory than expected.\u00a0 Sleep easy Vikings fans your team will not start 0-2.<\/p>\n

The Pick:<\/strong> The Vikings will have a strong rebound against Miami.\u00a0 As long as the spread stays below 7 they are an easy favourite to back at home in this one.<\/p>\n
