Vikings had the game at their mercy and only a 37 yard field goal was needed to take the win. However, kicker Greg Joseph sprayed the attempt wide right and we were left with just the handicap cover for consolation.

Earlier, Panthers had made short work of the Saints and kept up our Gridiron Guru's stunning start to the season.

Against the spread he's now five from five.
