Odds will be day to day due to exaggerated effect of coaching

The coaching of the Vikings purportedly the reason the Vikings are favored in week 4. It is a mistake to attribute good coaching alone to breakout performances by Bradford and his wide receivers. Players in the NFL are always seeking ways to improve their abilities and rely on their own gut to win.

Paul Perkins, though a rookie, can fill this slot. 5th round 2016 NFL Draft selection who promises speed and Teflon running routes.
