Quick take on point spreads and "experts"

Well as most of you know, the LIONS are favored to win Sunday AT the Metrodome. The line is Lions -3.5 pts.
According to online sources 85% of the money in Vegas is being put on the LIONS. I find it amazing how much hype, both positive and negative, can affect the public and by default, expert opinions. According to the jist of opinions I've Been reading from non Minnesota based sources, McNabb is "terrible" Detroit will smother us, Matthew Stafford and Megatron will be hard to stop yada yada. NO ONE has picked the vikes to even beat the spread. It seems like no one has any common sense.

First of all we're talking about TWO games thus far more or less, cause clearly no one is looking at the LIONS horrid 14 game losing streak at the dome, the LIONS awful road record, the return of K WILL, Our RB named AP "...who has gained 814 yards in eight career games against the Lions... and he has done most of the damage at the Metrodome, where the teams play Sunday. In four games there, he has gained 520 yards (294 in Detroit) and scored six of his seven touchdowns against the Lions:" etc etc

AHEM.

Mighty Matthew Stafford has faced us twice, lost both games and had a total of 2 TDs 2 INTs and less the 400 yards total. I'm real scared.

Last time LIONS started out 3-0? 1980. This team isn't even as good as the Herman Moore Barry sanders ones. Chill out with the hype please! They're over valued and the Vikes are undervalued.

If I went to the game I'd hold a sign up the first time he's sacked
YOU'RE NOT PLAYING KANSAS ANYMORE

MY money is on the Vikes. No spread.

Should be a fun game...

SKOL!
