    If you're the Vikings OC, wouldn't you run the jet sweep with Cordarelle Patterson 15 to 20 times? Or until Green Bay proved they could stop it (which would probably be sometime during the 2016 season)?

    Favored by 9? I'd bet on the Vikings to cover that. Nothing has come easy for the Packers this season and I don't like the matchup.

    Edit: apparently Chewy says we'll win by 30+

    I totally agree, it's either going to be close or it's going to be a blowout.

    Yeah. I'd even wager that the Packers will either win or lose.

    The Vikings are reeling a bit... Peterson is gone, Bridgewater may not play - Ponder can't win games on his own.

    As inconsistent as we are overall, and as abysmal as we are on defense - I would still expect we will cover the 9 pts.

    I hope they keep reeling like this. 550+ yards of offense last game. As for Bridgewater. they are playing the gametime decision but I think they forgot to tell Teddy to play along. He talked about how much fun it will be to play tomorrow in such a historic stadium. Sure didn't sound like an "if I play". I suppose that in itself could be a ruse.

    I grade on a different scale of the rest of you guys I guess... I fully expect we should beat a lesser team like the Vikings - no offense Rastak

    If Bridgewater plays?? He's a rookie, i.e. he'll be big-time up and down... long term he may be the answer for the Vikes, but this season is going to be a big learning curve; and if Ponder starts - Ponder is Ponder.

    We got waxed by 2 teams that I consider to be better than us - Seattle and Detroit; and we beat a bad Jets team, and looked terrible on defense beating an about even team in the Bears.

    If Peterson were playing?? I don't think the line would be 9, and I don't think we'd cover 9, but given the circumstances - yes, we should cover. Even with dunderdummy preening his spraypainted hair in the coaches booth

    I think the Packers win this fairly easily only because I think Ponder will start. Stubby supposedly has said this week that he needs to start using Starks more. We will see about that, he will probably stick with his predictable game plans until the day he's fired.

    Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 2h2 hours ago
    For #Vikings vs. #Packers, Greenway and Rudolph are out. Bridgewater was limited participation and is questionable.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    #Packers injury report:
    Barrington doubtful
    Boyd doubtful
    Boykin out
    Jones probable
    Lang (no injury)probable
    Matthews probable
    Neal probable

    That means Pennell and Janis will probably be activated again.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Interesting insight. Any thoughts on whether Tolzien will be active?

    I'm sorry, that was unnecessary roughness against a senior citizen.

    That's a 15 yard penalty, whippersnapper.

    Stubby made a statement today that Boykin's injury is worse than they originally thought.

    If there's any defense worse than the Packers, it's the Falcons. They have no one. It's a joke.

    Pack covers the spread. -9 is a sucker number begging for Vikings money after a good game last week.
