Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Minnesota Vikings

LINE: Vikings by 7

 Steve Elle:

In perhaps the most important early season match-up all season thus far, the surprising Minnesota Vikings (surprising because they’re winning) face off against the highly competitive Tampa Bay Buccaneers (‘highly competitive’ is a euphemism for a team that hasn’t won much). Jokes aside this is an intriguing match-up. The Vikings, who seem to be doing things by smoke and mirror these days are relying more and more on the newly repaired ligament of Adrian Peterson. Christian Ponder passed for 80 yards last week, or essentially the equivalent of Vincent Jackson’s longest reception in last Sunday’s game. What does all of this mean? Damn it, it means we’ll have to play this game to determine the victor. How annoying!

Pick: Bucs-WIN

Rob Wheatley: Vikings-LOSS

Darby Shaw: Vikings-LOSS

Evil Peyton Manning: Bucs-WIN

VS

Carolina Panthers @ Chicago Bears

LINE: Bears by 9

Darby Shaw:

After winning a real snooze-fest against “wait, the media can’t just hand us the division title in the off-season” Lions, the Bears are looking like their usual selves: a team that has to rely on their defense because their offense couldn’t score on Lindsey Lohan. They should have no problem continuing the trend against Cam “Super Kitty” Newton and the Panthers. This game will come down to which offense is less shitty.

Pick: Bears-LOSS

Rob Wheatley: Bears-LOSS

Steve Elle: Bears-LOSS

Evil Peyton Manning: Bears-LOSS
