We were treated to another great Monday Night Football game last weekend as the Steelers came from behind to steal a victory from the Ravens 23-20, and with the Vikings on the road to take the on the Saints (-3) this week, one would think that we're going to be in store for another high-scoring affair.

After falling 30-17 last week to the undefeated Tennessee Titans, the Minnesota Vikings (1-3) will stay on the road for the second consecutive week, playing their second Monday Night game of the 2008 season. The Vikes are 1-1 with veteran pivot Gus Frerotte in the drivers seat versus an 0-2 mark with season starter Tavaris Jackson.

This will be the first time the Vikings have played the Saints on Monday Night Football and features a 3rd-ranked New Orleans' offense that is averaging 414.3 yards per game against a 6th-ranked Minnesota defense that's allowed just 279.3 yards a game thus far. The Saints are 2-2 and look to move above the .500 mark behind an offense that is averaging 87 yards a game rushing and 327.3 yards per game passing. Drew Brees is coming off being named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week and will look to have a solid game in front of the hometown crowd. So what can we expect this week? Here are a few ATS stats to keep in mind before wagering on this contest: The Vikings are just 1-3 ATS this season when the line is between +3 to -3, and over the last three years they are a dismal 4-10 ATS in this situation. Minnesota is 0-3 ATS this season as an underdog, but over the last three years are a perfect 3-0 ATS against NFC South division opponents. The Saints are 2-0 ATS this season when playing the role of favorite, but are just 1-3 ATS over the last three seasons as a home favorite of 3 points or less. Will Brees duplicate his performance of a week ago and will the Saints get over the hump? Can Frerotte lead his team to victory and will Adrian Peterson have a monster 'breakout' game?

These questions and more will be answered on Monday October 6^th!
