Minnesota averages 20.9 points against (17th) allow an average of 361.8 yards - not great - (29th); allow 285.9 passing yardage - pretty poor (32nd) and 75.9 Rushing yards against - really good - (3rd).
Oakland averages 17.6 points (24th); 293.8 total yards -average - (28th) and 137 rushing yards (5th).
Atlanta produces a game average of only 15 points (31st); generate 293.1 total yds (very average); have 195.4 passing yards - pretty anemic - (23rd) and generate on 97.7 total yards rushing - very average to poor (20th)
Tampa Bay allows only 16 points per game (3rd); allow 286.2 total yards (6th), allow only 173 passing yards (3rd) and 113.2 rushing yards.
By the numbers this season the Tampa Vs Atlanta matchup is more favorable for you.

I'll go with Tampa Bay vs Atl's abysmall offense. Oakland has the potential of a big game, especially with no A.Peterson on offense so Oakland could control some of the tempo. TB will control the game on both sides of the ball.

Oakland sucks, cant pass. Start Minnesota. Their good running game will keep Oakland on the field and they will tire out as usual. When they do, they will not be able to keep up. Minnesota will have a big day W/O AP. This coming from a Raider Fan

Both are good, but Minnesota is the better play.
The Vikings have the best run defense in the league by far.... they will easily be able to stop the Fargas/Rhodes/Jordan trio, forcing McNown to pass (which he isn't very good at) and forcing lots of incomplete passes and turnovers. I would be surprised if the Raiders scored more than 6 points

TB - because MIN may not score another point all season, they're D will be on the field 48 minutes per game; even bad teams like OAK will be able to score on them.

I vote Tampa, but this could be argued either way.
