      "Minnesota’s 20.0 scoring average also means it has relied on keeping games controlled. Murray’s hamstring and Darrisaw’s shoulder could affect that plan, while Buffalo is checking Palmer after his in-game hamstring injury. The extra day offers time for clarification. Both ratings are withheld until Minnesota’s quarterback availability is established."
