It is crunch time in the NFL as teams continue to battle for a spot in the annual Super Bowl Derby. Teams such as New Orleans in the NFC and Kansas City in the AFC are jockeying for position while teams like Arizona and Miami are still trying to land a berth in the postseason.
This Sunday's NFL schedule is filled with a number of intriguing matchups headlined by a night game between the 11-1 Pittsburgh Steelers and the 9-3 Buffalo Bills. The Steelers are coming off their first loss of the season while the Bills are trying to win their first AFC East Division title since 1995.
When it comes to betting on Sunday's NFL games, the 6-6 Minnesota Vikings on the road against the 7-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers caught my eye. They are two more teams fighting for their playoff life in the NFC. They are also two of the higher scoring teams in the NFL.
The Vikings are averaging 26.6 points per game while Tampa Bay is posting 28.7. Neither defense has been able to play with any level of consistency. Minnesota is allowing 27.4 points to Tampa Bay's 23.3 points-against average.
The total line for this game opened at as low as 47 1/2 points and it has been bet all the way up to 53. I still do not think the number is high enough for Sunday's showdown.
The total has gone OVER in five of the Vikings' last seven games and it has gone OVER in eight of the Buccaneers' last 12 games at home.
