Packers - Minni

After scrolling thru the board I see I am the only one on the Packers today. This Minni team has been horrible this season. They have beat Detroit, Carolina and New Orleans three crappy football teams. They already lost to the Packers in Greenbay and that was the first game of the season so they were healthy. Peterson has been watched on film from last season and its obvious to me that they have figured out his running style a he has not been what he was last season. So is it a pay back on why everyone is on the vikings or what ?
Another game I see a lot of people on is the SD chargers. While I will agree that KC is horrible one has to admit the same about the chargers. They are one of the biggest flops of the season. Thats a truck load of points for a team that is playing with no heart. Thoughts appreciated. GL

Both teams 4-4, one game back of Chi. Minny needs this one bad to keep a chance alive of playoffs. Minny at home giving less than a fg, makes me like the vikes.

If you have 6-2 Carolina as a "crappy" football team, who do you think is "decent" or "good"?

I'm on Minnesota today because laying less than a field goal, at home, against a Green Bay defense that can't stop the run (ranked #28 in the league) while making Rodgers beat them (Vikes run D is #2) sound like a value play to me.

Peterson's YPC is down a little, but he's still awfully effective.

Carolina plays in a crappy division so their record to me is smoke and mirrors. While they are the best team that Minni has beaten they are still far away from the the elite groups in the NFL. GLTU

thanks rmac but if I played every fishy line I would be a broke dick by this afternoon. The points are at 3 because they are playing at home. I look at this game as a pick-em and I believe that the Packers are the better team. I see your point thanks.

Packers have won the last 5 meetings

On paper, Adrian Peterson should have a big day vs Bay's 27th-ranked rush defense.
This is why people betting the vikes

However, the Packers limited Chris Johnson and LenDale White to just 3.6 yards per attempt if you take away a fluke 54-yard burst by White. Green Bay placed eight men in the box, coaxing Kerry Collins to beat them. The plan worked, as Tennessee scored just 19 points amid Collins' struggles.
Do you like Rodgers , or Frerotte?

The dif in game will be can packers D keep Min off field (t.o.p.)
And G.B. look fopr big plays/quick scores


Childress has never beaten the Pack so go with history...

Chargers / Chiefs is still a divisional game...

I’d take the chiefs in a two team
6 point teaser , getting them 21 points,
making the chargers have to beat them by 24 ...

Then tease with another game you like.
