There's no real analysis to what you are saying, its really like you didnt even think about any factors and just spout off with what you heard on sportscenter this morning. By the way, Mark Schlereth predicted the score 31-17, I'm sure you didnt know that already though. Green Bay has barely one at least 4 of their 7 victories by the way of Favre sidearming the ball off of his back foot for a 70 yrd touchdown scores. Even if the board looks like they won by 14, the game didnt play out nearly that lopsided. Minnesota shut down SD last week completely by pressuring Rivers and not letting LT get out past the chains. Im assuming that Childress saw this and will send an extra man to pressure Favre and make him float a few up in the air, reminding me of when i used to play 500 w/ my friends 15 years ago. You know, that game when one person throws the ball and yells out a number, you have to catch as many as necessary to equal 500 before everyone else? Anyway, AD is coming off from a huge confidence building week as well as the defense. Look for Bollinger to step up and do whats necessary to control the game and AD to run a train on a GB D thats lost some key players. Real final score, 22-20 Minn.

I didn't expect you to change your pick, judging from your handle i know youre riding the pack all the way. And yes, they did score that last TD to bring them within 7 with 2 minutes left, and at the same time, thats exactly when GB has won 75% of their matchups this season. Either way it is a divisional matchup thats probably going to play out as one of the best games in week 10 of the NFL this season. Looking at the big picture, and looking at the spread in this game, i pick the Vikes +6. GB may have the lead in this series overall, but they have never won by more than 7 points, and only by 7 once. I really believe that if the Minn D plays like they did last week, which a lot of people expect them to, and the OL creates holes, AD will rush for 180-200 and they have a chance to win outright.
Another point, which may or may not be relevant, GB beats Denver in OT, SD kills Denver by 40 in Mile High, Minn trashes SD by 20 as 7pt dog.
Since when is bringing in a new QB such a bad thing, could it get any worse for them at that position right now? Bollinger has come in 3 times this season and performed extremely well considering. If it's broke, you fix it, and fix it fast, Tavaris isnt the answer, and neither is Holcomb, 3rd time's a charm?
But seriously, Favre has been a monster this year, especially since he's been doing it all, and they run the ball 12 times a game. He's the heart of that team, and without it, like any living thing, it dies. If Minn can find a way to get in his face, he will screw up, he will throw picks, and they will lose. The pack is good, but all good things come to an end, you cant win every game in the fourth quarter consistently. Minn is coming off that huge win at home and should have all of the confidence in the world to go into Lambeau and prove everyone wrong. Love the NFL, looking forward to the game.
