    I cannot for the life of me see how the Packers could be favored, even by the home-team three. Do the "experts" think Minny has nothing to play for?

    Look, you've got a good offensive team - the Vikes - going against a poor defensive team - the Packers.

    Seems to me a recipe for a Packer loss and a quashing of these fantastical playoff hopes.

          There is no way the NFL doesn’t let the Lions game count. Packers winz, Rastak starts thinking purple season is starting to blow.

            If Philly wins in the 1pm time slot, is there really anything for the Vikings to play for? I think that is why the Packers are favored here, because the expectation is that Philly beats the Saints, and the Vikings likely would limit the playing time of key starters in that scenario.

              The Vikings are only one game ahead of the Niners, and the Niners have a better conference record.
              What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                I guess with Cousins and all those weapons coming to town we will find out if our D adjusted and played well, or if it was a mirage caused by Tua's mush head.

                  I hope that Jaire gets to shadow Jefferson this time.

                      According to total DVOA, Green Bay is 11th and Minnesota is 25th.

                      Minnesota is literally the luckiest team in the NFL this year. It is liking watching the 2018 Bears season, with purple glasses on.

                        Dean Lowry to IR. Devonte Wyatt should continue to see more reps.

                            I'd like to see more of Wyatt. I think he's better rushing the passer, and he can't be any worse against the run. Lowry gets moved off the LOS too easily against the run.

                            They signed WR Bo Melton off the SEA practice squad. He supposedly ran a 4.34 40, but I don't see that speed on video. He does have KR experience, so it might be a Keisean backup plan. They probably don't want to risk Romeo back there returning kicks.

                              It's true. They have a 12 wins but a +5 points differential; that's luckier than the 2019 packers who were winning close games and getting lucky before Mostert ran wild.
                              GB is the only team they've beaten by double digits this year. Maybe it's luck, maybe they are clutch, but if they were a cat they'd have used all 9 of their lives.

                              They are a good team with a tough offense to stop, but they aren't as good as their record.
