I don't think there is anything wrong with that feeling. There are just some games that, unless you totally sh!t yourself (to borrow a phrase from nerdman) you just should win. This is one of those games. The problem I have is when people make stupid comments like "there is no way in hell the vikings have a chance in this game" or " we can't lose" Be confidant and make your predictions, even bold ones, but don't forget to at least acknowledge the other team does have a chance.

But the thing is, it's true. This team ever stops shitting themselves, the sky's the limit.

A fully healthy GB team hangs 40 no problem vs this Vikings team. Now? More like 24-27 which should be enough as long as Peterson is kept in check. The only way I see GB losing this game is if Peterson runs wild and Allen manhandles Bahktiari like he did Barbre back in 09.

As it is, we'll get 34, at least.

I haven't seen a single Vikings game this season... but in the past couple of years, they've been able to get some decent to good past rush with only 4 guys while keeping the rest in coverage and has given Rodgers a tough time.

Packers might have to lean on their running game to get some more time.

But the Vikings are surprising high in run defense when you look at yards per attempt. They're tied at 6th with 3.6 yards per rush attempt  So that might be harder than expected. Then again, Browns, Ravens and Bengals are all in the top 12 there so maybe the Packers offense might be used to it.

Turf might play to Franklin's strength, as far as speed. And quickness.

He might get a chance to show he can hang onto the ball.

But with the Vikings joy of getting up field, a screen play might work if they can fool the DL.

The Packers run defense is so much better than last year and the Vikes pass D is awful.
This is not a good combination for them at all.

Josh Freeman, who had a bad outing in starting his first game with the Vikings on Monday night, has suffered a concussion and may not be able to play this week against Green Bay, the team announced.



Hahaha, this is gonna be GREAT.

Ponder is better than Freeman at this point.

Darn.

I can't stop thinking this is a trap game. I just don't see them playing that bad in consecutive weeks, especially at home against their favorite visitors.
