I'm posting this in the Packer forum because with the Giants currently ahead of the Pack in the playoff standings, I feel it has at least some relevance to the Packers. I know I'm going to be doing a lot of scoreboard watching the next 4 weeks!

I can't believe I'm saying it, but I'm pulling for the Vikes, and for as early a wake up call as possible for the Giants!

Giants/Viikes' game on schedule...for now. 

The Giants are stuck in Kansas City overnight Saturday, and plan to fly to Minneapolis in the morning for Sundays game. Despite that, the NFL says Vikings-Giants could still begin at noon CT.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello released a statement via Twitter Saturday evening.

UPDATE: We continue to closely monitor the weather in Minneapolis and remain in regular contact with both clubs and local public safety authorities. We will continue to do so and are prepared to make adjustments in the schedule as necessary, Aiello wrote.

The Giants are spending the night in Kansas City and plan to fly to Minneapolis tomorrow morning at 8 am. Because the flight is less than one hour, the game could begin as scheduled at noon CT. If conditions in Minneapolis dictate otherwise, we will move the kickoff to later in the day and announce it soon as we have the information.

There are a number of reasons why the NFL would want to keep the start time the same if at all possible. (And money would be at the root of most of those reasons.) For the Giants, it would be a long day.

The sound you heard with that announcement? It was Tom Coughlins head exploding, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News wrote. He cant be happy with that possibility.

Giants P.R. maven Pat Hanlon notes the team would have a 6 am wakeup call, with a 8am flight getting to Minnesota an hour later. The team would ideally arrive at the stadium two and a half hours before gametime. It could be a bigger challenge for the teams support staff than the players.

Still, it sounds like a noon kickoff remains the goal if possible.

If all goes as we hope, the NYG will be lined up for kickoff at noon central time, which is exactly what we want to do, Hanlon writes.

Gmen loss would be great. The storm has moved out of the cities, so now it just a matter of cleaning the runways and trying to keep ahead of the wind.

One more day for Favre to heal. Or should I say, one more day for everybody to talk about Favre. So at least he'll get something out of it. Get ready for a heavy dose of Favre worship from the MNF crew, even though they'll be covering a different game.

I will be pulling for the Vikings, though.

As hard as it will be for some, Packers should root for The Vikings the next 3 weeks, could help Packers push to the play-offs.

This game being moved to Monday will mean The Giants will be coming to Green Bay working on a short week. Another plus for The Packers.

Packers must take care of business against The Lions, then we the fans can start looking towards nexr Sunday.
