Much of the credit of the Vikings success last season will be attributed to the acquisition of Brett Favre, but what many NFL bettors don’t realize is that Minnesota also had one of the best defenses in the entire NFL.

The Vikings defensive unit allowed just 1,394 rushing yards all season (2nd in the league) and only 4,888 total yards (6 th) in 2009.

Minnesota returns the majority of its starters on the defensive side of the ball for the 2010-11 football spread season in hopes of reaching the Super Bowl after coming up just shy against New Orleans in the NFC Championship game last year.

Denver’s defense performed mutually in 2009, giving up a mere 2,981 passing yards (3rd in the NFL) and 5,040 total yards (7th).

Although Denver’s offense also appears to be performing well thus far in the 2010-11 football betting preseason, the unit still has some major uncertainties to deal with.

The Broncos are juggling three quarterbacks after trading for Brady Quinn and drafting Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow to join existing starter Kyle Orton.

In addition, Denver has spiced up its backfield situation by recently acquiring running back LenDale White when Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter suffered injuries in the same practice.

The Minnesota Vikings meanwhile, are looking for some answers at receiver, upon news that Sidney Rice will undergo hip surgery and miss at least the first six weeks of the regular football spread season.

To boot, wide receiver Percy Harvin continues to have extreme migraines, a condition which plagued him for most of last season causing him to miss time. Harvin recently sought medical attention from a specialist for treatment.

Marshall Mention: Minnesota has not given up more than 15 points in any game this entire preseason.
