About Last Night

Vikings rule North with crazy comeback
The Minnesota Vikings made the biggest successful comeback in NFL history on Saturday, battling back from 33-0 down to the Indianapolis Colts to win 39-36 in overtime. They clinched the NFC North title in the process. In Saturday’s later games, the Browns dented the Ravens’ AFC North hopes with a 13-3 home win while the Bills beat the Dolphins 32-29 as snow fell at the end of the late game. The Pickswise team went 2-1 against the spread in a strong start to the weekend, with the Vikings frustratingly failing to cover the -4 spread!
