Schule's NFL Hot Diggity Dog *UNDERDOG* - EARLY START
(NFL) Minnesota vs. Miami, 12/21/2014 8:00 AM, Score: 35 - 37
Point Spread: 7.50 | -132.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Minnesota Vikings.

The 7-7 Dolphins will host the 6-8 Vikings this Sunday, and the Fish are a big favorite at home. Miami is coming off consecutive losses, and it's home record of 3-3 isn't all that impressive. The Vikings went into Detroit last week and came very close to pulling off the upset in a 16-14 loss to the Lions. In fact the Vikes are 4-4 in their last eight games, and three of those four losses have come in games decided by three points or less.

Teddy Bridgewater has been getting better as the season progresses, and he's put together a very impressive rookie campaign. He's completed better than 70% of his pass attempts for 762 yards and five TDs over his last three starts. Ryan Tannehill has thrown more picks (3) than he has TDs (2) over his last three starts.

Miami might struggle offensively against a Minnesota defense that held Detroit to a season low 233 yards last Sunday. The Dolphins have averaged just 14 points over their last three games, and I don't think they should be asked to cover a big spread here against a pretty decent Minnesota team.

Take MINNY.
