Rock, you might have to alter your routine a bit for that game. Go to bed early, take a few hours' nap, then watch the game.
That being said, I don't believe this game will be the titanic battle the media is sure to hype it up to be. At least I doubt it's going to fully justify the astronomical ratings it will receive. The Packers have handled the Vikings pretty convincingly in recent years, and even with (or maybe particularly with) Favre at the helm, I don't see this changing much. After all, unless he decides to show off, his main job is going to be handing off to Adrian Peterson anyway, not to mention this will be over through the season, at which point it will be impossible to predict his level of health or effectiveness.
Speaking as a football fan and not just a Packers fan here, I honestly don't believe the Packers have all that much to worry about. Play solid, fundamental football, contain the run, force Favre to beat you with his arm. Favre better be throwing lasers on target all night, because we have a stable of defensive backs who will be dying to jump routes and run picks back to the house.
