Minnesota is proving to be one of the surprise teams of this season, leading the NFC North Division along with Chicago.  The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, we would be remiss in pointing out, have played some tight one’s but just couldn’t close the deal.  Last year, when these two teams met, Tampa Bay won by 4 points on the road.

As a road underdog of between 3.5 and 7 points, Tampa is 5-0 Against The Spread.

In all games where the total is between 38.5 and 42 points, the Buccaneers have managed to go 11-3 Straight Up over the past three seasons.  In games were the total is between 35.5 and 42 points, the Vikings are just 1-8 over this same time period.
