it's one of the best gauges for picking on a team that won't give a max effort the following week, the dolphins needed every ounce of energy yesterday to win that game from start to finish , they are on a monumental high , they might be able to beat the jets just on talent alone, but matching the max effort from the viking game is almost impossible.

Didn't see the Fins game yesterday, so not sure of the energy spent. But at this point I'm starting to believe that the Vikings just aren't that good.
I understand the theory that you are preaching, but I would buy into it more if they were playing a non conference/divisonal team next week. The fact that it's the hated Jets who they always get up for no matter how good or bad they are, makes me think your theory goes out the window in this case.

Where's the Vikes-Lions game next week? I'd give the Lions an even shot based on what I've seen of both teams so far. Then again, the Lions haven't won at Minnesota since 1997.

Favre is starting to look and play like he's 41.

it's not a matter of how good/bad the vikings will be

the vikings were a favorite yesterday , they played NO in week 1 and played a pretty good game , they have issues on offense no question, but, the dolphins were a dog on the road in a place where the home team wins a high % of their games

as a jet fan , i'm much happier to see the dolphins win yesterday than lose

they are coming home off of two wins on the road , two covers as well .....unless the team they are playing next is a hopless trainwreck , which the jets are not , you are supposed to bet against the dolphins

is it 100 % full proof , of course not , but , it does win more times than it losses

My favorite play Favre made yesterday was the classic gun slinger chuck the ball as far as he can into double coverage, except now his chuck the ball as far as he can is about 10 yards shorter and easily interceptable.
