APete isn't going to murder us, their passing game won't either, so I'm not sure why we'd think we're underdogs to the Viking if we put up more than say, 20 points. As long as we do our usual job protecting the ball.

The Packers opened against an AFC unfamiliar opponent and thus did not deploy Jared Cook as to not give their conference and division rival any tape on how they were using Cook.

Sunday Night, we will see the Cook packages.

Packers 31
Vikings 17

Be it Sam or Shaun, my advice to either is "Run bitch, RUN!"

The only thing they have going for them is the opening of their new stadium. Hill and Bradford should make the game plan for the Packers defense much easier because they both equally suck.

Packers- 27
Vikings- 17

Packers 20 - Vikings 13

Wouldnt necessarily be surprised to see it go the other way but I'd be sorely disappointed. Their defense may well be top 5 this year and has started off very well. On the flip side, if Peterson is slowing down with his age, they may have major problems on offense. I don't think they'll have a passing game to speak of. A poor man's Denver, which is nothing to sneeze at, especially opening a new stadium. But beatable nonetheless.

If our run defense is as effective as it was last week we should win.

Their defense scored 2 TD's last week, or the Queens would have lost.
Their D is good, but Aaron Rodgers isn't stupid and won't hand them any free points.
I do see it as being a close game though, as the Queenies will be up because of their new digs.
Green Bay 31
Queenies 17

Due to concussion, Sam Shields (CB) will not play against the Vikings on Sunday .

I don't see this as a critical problem , but Stopping A.Peterson will be . This I believe that GB can do .

Green Bay - 24
Minnesota - 20

Should be a blowout, but ends up being a nail-biter.

Mason Crosby rules with a last second long FG. Vike fans spend next week whining.

Apete will be primed. He had a shitty game last week and now everyone is saying he's lost a step. He's gonna want to bust out and prove the naysayers wrong. We are thin at DL, but we've got Datone and Perry as elephants. EDGE: Peterson

But Bradford doesn't have he offense down yet. Nor does he have synchronization with the WRs. Sure, we're missing Shields, but Bradford's never been great even with a TC in the system. EDGE: Packers

I agree with Zero about Cook. If he's gonna be utilized, this is the week it will happen. If Mike doesn't put him in the game plan this week, that's a really bad sign.

I'm just hoping we see the offense start to look like it did pre-2015. I'm tied of nearly every pass being a stupid back shoulder throw, or Rodgers having to dance around and wait for somebody to finally break free. USE THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD MM!

beast (3m) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (1h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (1h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (1h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (1h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (1h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (1h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (1h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (1h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (1h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (3h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (3h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (7h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (11h) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (11h) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (19h) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (19h) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (21h) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (23h) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
