Vacc’s Week 4 Preview: Giants at Buccaneers, Sunday at 4:05 p.m.

Ralph Vacchiano | Facebook | Twitter | Archive THE GAME The Giants (0-3) at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-1), at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, on Sunday, Oct. 1, at 4:05 p.m. ET. THE WEATHER It will be warm, muggy and maybe a little rainy. The temperatures are expected to be in the high 80s and there's a 60 percent chance of evening thunderstorms, which could make for a messy second half of the game. WHAT IT MEANS The Giants are already in deep trouble and the odds are decidedly against them. Only three teams have reached the NFL playoffs after an 0-3 start since the playoffs expanded in 1990. Right now, before they think about anything else, they need to stop the bleeding. Their last

NFL against the spread picks: Vikings aren’t too bad without Sam Bradford

Last Sunday was an eye-opening day for the Minnesota Vikings. Sam Bradford missed his second straight game, and this time it didn’t seem as unexpected. With some time to settle in as the starter, Case Keenum led an absolutely one-sided 34-17 win over a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team plenty of people liked in the preseason.

Thursday night football: the science behind the NFL’s toughest turnaround

Now that the NFL has a full slate of Thursday games, how hard is it for football players to recover and play on three days’ rest instead of six? The NFL is quick to point out that injury rates are no greater for Thursday games. Thursday night NFL games – called a ‘poopfest’ by Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman—present a challenge to players and coaching staffs as they try to prepare in three days rather than the standard six.

With Keenum or Bradford, Vikings plan to be ready for Lions

As the Minnesota Vikings waded through the uncertainty at quarterback, Case Keenum gave the team a big lift in last week's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Keenum matched Sam Bradford's stellar Week 1 performance with a 75.8 completion percentage, 369 passing yards and three touchdowns without a turnover. Bradford, in winning player of the week, threw for 346 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover in Week 1 with an 84.4 completion percentage.

As Bradford rests, Keenum ready to start again for Vikings

Case Keenum kept, of course, the game ball he was given by coach Mike Zimmer for his brilliant performance in leading the Minnesota Vikings to victory. ''It's hard for me to talk about it right now because I've already moved on,'' Keenum said, when asked about the career-high 369 yards and three touchdowns he passed for last weekend to beat Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34-17 . The likelihood of Keenum starting a third straight game Sunday increased when Sam Bradford was held out of practice Wednesday to rest his sore left knee.

Seahawks, Patriots Among Biggest Week 4 Favorites

Just five teams are favored on the road, and that includes the betting line for Sunday morning’s London game. Both undefeated teams are favored by more than six points, and just one point spread on the schedule exceeds double digits. Despite falling to 1-2 last week, the Seattle Seahawks are giving the Indianapolis Colts 13 points on “Sunday Night Football.” Jacoby Brissett could easily be 2-0 as the Colts’ starting quarterback, losing in overtime in Week 2 and leading Indianapolis to a win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 3.
