BETWEEN THE LINES

THREE REASONS TO LIKE VIKINGS-STEELERS OVER (46)

The Steelers are averaging 296 yards passing a game and have become a pass-dominated offense.

The Steelers defense will try to stop the Vikings running game, daring Brett Favre to beat them in the air, which should lead to more offense.

The Vikings are averaging more than 30 points a game but giving up more than 20.

THREE REASONS TO LIKE CARDINALS-GIANTS OVER (461/2)

The Giants defense was exposed last week by the Saints. Watch the Cardinals try to duplicate the effort.

The Giants are scoring 29 points a game and should bounce back offensively.

Kurt Warner has a history of playing poorly in New Jersey. His fumbles and interceptions should lead to quick scoring.

LAST WEEK: 1-1

SEASON: 6-6
