Ooooh snap! 🫰

"Minnesota is just the first test. It's going to be good to put that on tape and let the league know what the Green Bay #Packers defense is all about."

Was just comparing units for the Vikings and Packers.

QB—Packers—Love is inconsistent and overrated. Still he's proven in this offense and we don't yet know how Kyler and KOC will connect.

OL—Vikings easy—I don't know why more people aren't talking about how bad the the Packers OL has the potential to be. 

RB—Vikings—With Jacobs, Packers would win this.

WR—Vikings easy—Packers WR room is solid. Still, WR1 in Green Bay would be WR3 in Minnesota

TE—Vikings—Tucker Kraft is better than anyone we’ve got, but he'll be on a snap count week one recovering from ACL.

DL—Packers—It’s close. Devonte Wyatt, Hargrave and a rookie isn't that awesome, but outside of Jalen Redmond, the Vikings are likely going to use a heavy rotation. A lot of youth and upside, but still a lot of unanswered questions and potential mistakes.

OLB—Vikings—Without Parsons, Vikings win here. Van Ness has turned from bust to quality player, but Sorrell is just a guy. We might see some of their OLB3, the “dentist,” Dani Dennis-Sutton (DDS)

ILB—Vikings—Edgerrin Cooper is good, but Zaire Franklin isn’t. Cashman and Wilson by a length

DB—Packers—Both secondaries are average, but I’d say their secondary is a degree better than ours

ST—Vikings—Packers drafted their own Reichard in the 6th round this year. Smack hasn’t missed in the preseason. Skyy Moore ranked 6th in returns last year. Price ranked 3rd.

Well done!

Like I posted earlier, across the entire history of the matchup, games are decided by an average of just 1.35 points per game. I suspect we'll all be glued to our sets and seats come 4th qtr.

Divisional game + blow-outs between these 2 teams has been quite rare.
