4-3 so far this week, let's finish the week up strong and get some money here.

Week 1 Monday Night Special

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers -2.5

The NFC North is a true toss up this year. Most people probably think that the toss up is between Green Bay and Minnesota, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. There are 2 teams that will be going neck and neck this year for the Division title and that is Minnesota and Chicago. I could go into detail on why I feel that way, but I’d rather talk about the game at hand. Green Bay’s offense last year was reliant on a run game from Ryan Grant. Well unfortunately for them they run into one of the best run stopping defenses of all time. The Vikings will neutralize Ryan Grant and put the ball in the hands of Aaron Rodgers. I like Allen to get tons of pressure on the QB, because they can’t block all 3 of the superstars on the Vikings D-Line. There is over a 50% chance that we will see rain in this game, and if that’s the case it’s going to be a point of which Running game can be more effective. Hmm… Let me see… Would I rather have Ryan Grant against the Minnesota Run D, or Adrian Peterson vs. the Green Bay Run D??? The Vikings win this game right here, and the critics for Aaron Rodgers are going to be starting to chirp nice and early in the season.
