Congratulations Minnesota Vikings

[Badgerinmaine]

Make no mistake; Minnesota were the big winners today and they've got nothing to lose at Lambeau next saturday! Vikings & All Day kinda has our number this season and Packers have everything to lose! Fifty-fifty game.

I respectfully dissent. Peterson had a huge game this year at Lambeau, too, but the Packers still won by 9. Yes, Ponder has developed since then. But both the Metrodome and Lambeau Field are big home field advantage stadiums. Aaron Rodgers had a lot of trouble getting plays off on time in the first half with the noise. That won't be a problem for him Saturday. Crosby has his mojo back, too. It will be competitive, but I don't see any reason not to favor the Pack.

The Packers have changed the name of their stadium, too. It opened as City Stadium and didn't become Lambeau Field until 8 years later. But what does the name of the field in the Metrodome have to do with anything, anyway?

You are correct sir. I meant to say our stadium has had one name since the Eisenhower era, or before the Vikings were established as a franchise. The name of the stadium is inconsequential, only a matter of pride to say we don't play at Bay View Mall Stadium. LOL
To me, it will always be the shitdome anyhow. You can smell it from here with a good west wind.

You're extremely wrong in your assessment this will be a coin flip game. Not only do I disagree with you, but Vegas will as well when the opening line comes out. This isn't a pick 'em game. Not at all.

You just jinxed Crosby! Fine post btw.

I think Vegas will have us at [-4.5] on gameday unless we get R. Cobb back and have the rest back fr. this week.

Then it will be Packers [-6].

That's one extreme post! Vegas is always right? Packers have lost a BUNCH of homefield playoff games the last 10-12 years (also the only ones); the Frozen Tundra just isn't a fortress anymore and Falcons, Vikings and Giants twice is the proof.

Packers will & should be favored but that's why they play the games on the field and not in Vegas.

This I understand!

Worst game I've watched in a long time. . . Yuck. I really wanted that bye week.

[RashanGary]

Zone defense came back to haunt us AGAIN. When we play a team like this, where we have to keep our eyes to the backfield and can't play man defense, this is what happens. McMillan is awful. Other than that, the rest of them were bad. Way too many missed assignments. Just bad.

Woodson will be a big help, IF he ever gets back.

Meh, i'll give credit where credit is due... i have a roommate that is a bares fan and one that is a viking fan... i texted the viking fan after the second (supposed "iced" kick) went through the uprights, 'good game, welcome to the dance'... none of it matters anymore... it comes down to Sat. night... i like our chances and i was agree woodbuck, i was thinking 4-4.5 would be the spread... i'm happy the Gmen are out, i'm happy the bares are out, i would have prefered the first round bye... but it doesn't matter anymore... it all comes down to Sat. night... hahaha... GO PACK GO!!

Vegas will have the Packers a 7 point favorite. Maybe more.

[Badgerinmaine]

This site is typical of what I've found online--they have the Packers favored by 7.5 to 8. http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/

Let's look on the bright side. We did pretty well the last time we didn't have a bye.
