Reply With QuoteI see Green Bay winning this one. The Vikings only won last wee because AP ran for 199 yards. Dont expect those type of numbers this week. Green Bay will do a better job is slowing AP down. Look for a huge game from Aaron Rodgers.
Vikings @ Packers
The re-match! I thought last weekend's game was the best game of the year. So excited for this one. Discuss...

I think this game will be a lot closer than most are giving credit for. GB will focus on slowing down AP but that was their gameplan last week as well (i assume). He has absolutely torched the Pack this year. GB flips the script this week and wins on a last second FG.
Packers can't stop Adrian Peterson, I see Minnesota pulling off an upset.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
Exactly. Adrian went over 200in the other game and put up 199 last week. They can't stop him. If GB can put up 30+ on you and can't win, it's a wrap. The Vikings have the psychological edge. As Rodgers said before the game last week, in more words or less: " I hope he doesn't get the record. Becquse if he does, that means they're playing their kind of ball and we're not winning." Well, Peterson missed the record by 9 yards. You don't think he's pissed about that? I expect him to take his frustration out on GB. Vikings!Originally Posted by dmvincent

AP had 210 yards earlier this year in Green Bay. As a man who bets on spreads I can't believe that it's so high (7.5-8 right now), but I still can't see GB losing at home.
GB's biggest weapon is Rodgers. If AP is running well that means Rodgers is on the sideline. I'm sorry, I don't see how a team lets a guy avg 200+ yards and BELIEVE they can stop him. And I don't see how your potent offense puts up 30+ the week before AND still loses and is going to be confident at home against a DIVISIONAL rival. If there ever was a matchup where homefield meant nothing, it's a divisional game. These teams play each other twice a year and know each others strengths and weakness. It just so happens neither can stop the others strength, but Minn's strength appears to be the equalizer because as I said, it keeps Rodgers off of the field. Can GB win this? ABSOLUTELY. Do I think they will? Nope.

Peterson had no clue that he didn't make the record last week and he didn't care. All he was interested in was winning and making the playoffs.
I think MIN will pull off the upset. GB just doesn't seem to be a big obstacle this year.

Taking the points is fine, but what's the number straight up? If it's like +350, that'd be very attractive.

I think it's +375. Almost pulled the trigger but I like the points.
You cant win a playoff game with your back up QB against Green Bay.

What a sleeper! My gut was taking GB by a pile, but then had a long drive Friday night and listening to NFL radio and numerous Viking supporters calling in, made me wager smaller. Dammit!
GB @ SF is gonna be awesome!
A guy in my pool where you picks the games with spreads is demanding that this game be void because of the Ponder injury and they had to have their picks in by 4pm.
Thoughts?
Supposedly Ponder's injury was rumoured all week so I have no sympathy. Plus....if Ponder is the reason you're taking Minny...then yaaaaaa that just speaks for itself.
Would he want it revoked if ponder got hurt on the first drive too? Tough shit.
