Pick it - Vikes vs Cheese!
The Vikes can make a statement here
with a big win at home following a very strong showing on the road last
week. Many thought we'd see a nail biter against the Chargers, but it
ended up being an incredibly embarrassing performance from the home team;
especially from the QB Rivers.
Can the home team Vikings bring GB
down to earth, and frustrate Rodgers once again? I think they can, and
will. It's not going to be easy missing Cook and probably Mattison, so I expect
the offense will bring a creative run game. Boone might surprise by
breaking off some big chunks, but he's got big shoes to fill, and I think the
coaching staff won't put that kind of pressure on him.
I think the Vikes will want to run
just enough to make the play action work to find Thielen, Diggs, Smith, Rudy,
and company; probably a nice mix of screens too. Keeping GB off the
field and the defense fresh is key.
I'm all in with the home team - SKOL!
Vikings: 31Cheese: 20
Vikes and Kirk will shake the MNF blues big time in this one. Vikes 31 Pukes 13
I haven't watched GB at all this year...Are they what their record says or more a 9 win kinda team with a HOF QB???
I'm going to be at this game and pissed as hell if we lose. But I dont like our pass D against Rogers this week, especially our DL vs their OL and DB match-up's.
I was dead wrong predicting the SD game, hope I am here too:
GB 28
Vikings 23
Edit: i'm changing my mind after the Rams lost. I think the Vikings now go into this one loose and win a close one:
Vikings 26
GB 24
Vikes- 24
Fudge Packers- 21
Bailey kicks game winner on last play.
I think Green Bay will win, because the Vikings - Zimmer specifically - will try to "strategize". Zimmer knows he can't win the division, because even if he beats GB, then the Packers will go all out against Detroit - he certainly won't count on Kyle Sloter to help him win the division. So they're a wildcard, maybe locked up before the game. Since they are likely the #6 seed with a good chance of playing the Packers in round 1, Zimmer won't show any special looks or tricks, choosing to save them for the next match. Cook is out, he may rest Thielen and others..
I think it's bad to go into the playoffs on a slide, and I doubt the fans will appreciate a weak effort in USB, so I hope I am wrong.
34-20 Vikings! B) It’s going to be a grate game!!! ;)
Rodgers has been playing like crap. If it wasn't for the refs they wouldn't even be in the playoffs.
Zimmer better keep pressure on Erin.
Vikes 24-13
What I don't like:
• Davante Adams vs. Anyone. Last time, and a few times before, Adams has roasted Rhodes, but I just don't think the Vikings allow Rhodes on Adams much in this game. The Vikings should bracket Adams and force Rodgers to beat them with their other receivers, none of whom Rodgers really trusts. He goes to Adams no matter the coverage.
• Opening script. Packers have the best offense in the NFL on their opening script, but rank near the bottom after their first 25 plays.
• Kenny Clark vs. Garrett Bradbury. Clark destroyed Bradbury in their 1st meeting. Bradbury has improved a lot since then. We'll see just how much tonight. But this is still advantage Packers.
What I like:
• Balance. Since that week 2 meeting, the Vikings have become a much more balanced team. They've sort of found their groove on offense and I expect that to continue tonight against a bottom third defense.
• Diggs, Thielen and Boone. Packers secondary is pretty good, but I don't see them stopping all three of the Vikings weapons. One of these players will have a very big day based on who the Packers choose to focus on.
• The Bank. Packers have never won there and the Vikings are undefeated at home this season.
Vikings 31
Packers 14
Thats a big spread MB Lol!
I hope our O plan includes better interior OL scheming...They need to double Clark more often than not.
Time for AT to shine again this season too.

Yep. Look, would it surprise me if we came out flat and the Packers embarrassed us at home? Nope. Not one bit. It's the NFL, where anything can happen.
But if I'm honest, I think the Vikings are the far better team. And you nailed it. Thielen is the big difference. Packers have one good receiver. Vikings have two. If the Vikings bracket Adams, then that particular imbalance will be a big difference. I also think Boone goes off.
Seems like all the big shots on XM radio are fawning themselves over Rogers....Keep bringing up Cousins monday night record, finally turned the shit off.
