BETWEEN THE LINES
THREE REASONS TO LIKE VIKINGS-LIONS OVER 451/2
The Vikings' Adrian Peterson rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns last week.
The Lions defense, an over machine, was lit up by the Saints last week for 45 points.
The Lions showed signs of life last week, scoring 27 points.
THREE REASONS TO LIKE SAINTS (-1) OVER EAGLES
With Kevin Kolb as the starting QB, the Eagles will be hard-pressed to keep up with Drew Brees.
The Saints offense is more than just Brees. The addition of a running game makes the Saints extremely hard to stop.
The Saints defense, without facing Donovan McNabb, can focus on shutting down running back Brian Westbrook.
LAST WEEK: 1-1
SEASON: 1-1
