VIKINGS -3 over Denver------------Vikings are still playing for something and have blown out some decent teams. They were -3 on the TO ratio in their loss to Washington last week so I see that as somewhat of a fluke. Denver is weak; they've been blown out 6 times and have a very rushable defense and rushing is Minnesota's stregth. Petersen was shut down by both the Redskins and 49ers, but both those teams have decent rushing defenses. (Lose 22-19.....Vikings give 3 turnovers; Darkie-QB-in-a-big-game dooms this bet)

ALABAMA -4 over Colorado--------Coming off 4 losses, I see some extra motivation here for Alabama. They had a horrible 2-9 ATS season, but their conference has alot of good teams. Colorado, shockingly, beat Oklahoma as a 23 point underdog but then lost to Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri(a blowout) and even Iowa State. They got a +4 on the TO ratio in beating Texas Tech 31-26 and then gave up 51 points to Nebraska(a terrible team) while taking a +3 on the TO ratio in getting the win. I see some weakness in Colorado. (Win 30-24)
