Not surprisingly, the two Scotts think that the Giants are going to win their matchup with Minnesota on Sunday:
New York Giants (minus 2.5) at Minnesota
Reid: Favre is listed as questionable for Sunday after being knocked out of last week’s game on his first passing attempt. Of course, no one really expects the Vikings to bring Brett’s crusade for 300 straight starts to an end — so Tarvaris Jackson has, once again, been sent out to pick up smokes. In a sad effort to convince the coaches he was ready, Jackson even pretended last week to be Favre by tossing three interceptions. No luck. This streak ends at season’s end or with Jenn Sterger moving into Favre’s bungalow. Pick: New York.
Feschuk: Brett Favre is having an annus way more horribilis than that one the Queen had. With Dong-gate now in the hands of the Commissioner, it’s worth reflecting on the details of the poorly understood NFL Code of Conduct policy. Exactly what does it demand of players like Favre? Here are a few excerpts of note:
* Players are expected to report ON TIME for all meetings, scrimmages and police lineups.
* Mandatory snickering in the huddle when the quarterback calls for a “two-minute drill.”
* If you’re buying prostitutes, make sure you bring enough for the whole team.
* When getting dressed for a public appearance, players are asked to remember that the penis goes on the inside.Pick: New York.
