Packers Vs Vikings
The Vikings host the Packers because of their second face off this season. The Green Bay Packers beat Brett Favre for the initial time on Lambeau Field but now now Favre will have Aaron Rodgers and his former team in his dome in Minneapolis for this essential game for NFC North supremacy.
The Green Bay Packers are coming off a bye week and the Minnesota Vikings lost to a Chicago Bears team that now has six wins and leads the NFC North. Brett Favre didn't put up the 400 plus passing yards in this game as he did the previous week. The Minnesota Vikings had been also held to 70 yards on the ground against a robust Chicago Bears defense.
Clay Mathews would be the driving force of the Green Bay Packers defense. With Clay Mathews inside the line up, the Green Bay Packers defense is among the ideal in the NFL and when he is on the market is an obvious let down. The Green Bay Packers are off the bye week and need to be nicely rested and healed up to do battle in this game. They are superior against the pass, only allowing 217 yards by means of the air and a decent run defense that makes it possible for 123 yards on the ground.
Brett Favre and also the Minnesota Vikings offense has played well this season but Favre has produced crucial mistakes at vital moments. With Favre inside the line up they've had chances to win the majority of the games they've lost but they need to get the ball in Adrian Peterson's hands.
Peterson has solved his fumbling problems this season and has generated some massive time offense for the Minnesota Vikings. Peterson opens up the field for Favre to acquire the ball down field but Clay Mathews will likely be attacking on the edges to rush Favre in this game. The Minnesota Vikings offense has the slightest edge more than the Green Bay Packers defense.
The Packers are the minus 3 point favorites, with the more than beneath listed in sportsbook at 44.
The Minnesota Vikings defense has been disappointing this season and has contributed to a majority of their losses. Looking at the numbers they've been solid. They have only allowed little more than 300 yards of total offense per game and are holding their NFL opponents beneath 100 yards rushing per game. Jared Allen is off his game up front and the Minnesota Vikings are vulnerable on the edges.
Aaron Rodgers has lost his number 1 running back and number one particular tight finish for the Green Bay Packers this season but has persevered. Rodgers is applying a variety of receivers underneath given that Jermichael Finley went down for the season. Brandon Jackson has been hit or miss as Ryan Grant's replacement but has shown signs of being a big time back. The Minnesota Vikings defense along with the Green Bay Packers offense are a wash.
