Fearless Freddie’s Football Forecast

By FEARLESS FREDDIE

Prose Pro

LONG SEASON. The talent-challenged Buffalo Bills take their act to Minnesota this Sunday for what appears to be another car dealer Billy Fuccillo “HUGE” defeat.

The hometown Vikings, who beat San Francisco before tying with the Green Bay Packers last weekend, are amazing 17-point favorites. Don’t expect the Bills to cover the spot, they can’t cover anyone.

Freddie sees it this way:

VIKINGS 38, Bills 17

HOME TEAMS are capitalized. Teams picked to win are listed first, followed by the predicted margin of victory. The official Las Vegas odds are in parentheses.
