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 AR 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!
