NFL Week 8: Vikings vs Patriots NFL Picks vs the Spread

Minnesota Vikings @ New England Patriots Sun. Oct. 31st 4:15pm EST

The Minnesota Vikings started this season with Super Bowl aspirations as three-time NFL MVP quarterback Brett Favre was officially back for one more season and the team had all the confidence they thought they needed to dominate the NFC Conference on their way to the Super Bowl in February.

Unfortunately, despite being favored in NFL picks throughout the first few weeks of the season, Brett Favre and company have been unable to live up to expectations and will head into their showdown against the New England Patriots with just two wins on the season.
Not only do the Vikings have just two wins on the year, but they might have to play without Brett Favre in this game as he is dealing with a fractured ankle that he sustained against the Green Bay Packers last week.

The spread for this game hasn’t been released just yet and for good reason as the playing status of Favre is uncertain, but whether or not Brett Favre plays in Randy Moss’ return to Gillette Stadium, the New England Patriots will almost certainly be favored to come out on top.
