...for two weeks.

When the line came out, Packers were favored by 1.5. I predicted by the time the game rolled around, that would flip. It has indeed. Now Vikings -1.5.

I’m guessing Jacobs likely being out helped swing this.

Yep, that may have had something to do with it, but it's still about 50% he plays and I don't think he really adds enough to move a line. At least he wouldn't for me. Marshawn Lloyd is a capable back.

I tend to think the biggest difference is that when the line came out the Vikings didn't have a settled starting QB situation and now we do. And you're starting to hear some buzz in the media about what an experienced and dangerous QB like Murray could mean for this offense instead of the nonstop video game nonsense.
