I bet on the Viking last week, and shame on me. They played like a team that have given up on the season.
And why shouldn’t they? Head coach Brad Childress has lost his team and won’t be back next year. Brett Favre also won’t be back. His body is failing him every week. He is only there to continue is iron man streak – even if it is to the detriment of the team.
Minnesota has one of the best running backs in the league, yet Adrian Peterson only had 15 carries last week. You would expect the Minnesota Vikings to run AP hard against the 20th ranked Packers run defense (114.2 ypg), but not with Favre under center. Favre and his 18th ranked passing offense is going to try and test Green Bay’s 11th ranked pass defense (211.8 ypg).
Green Bay needs this win to stay in pace with the Chicago Bears in the NFC North. I love the Packers laying three-points on the road in Minnesota today. They won’t have any issues covering that spread.
My Pick: Green Bay Packers
Pointspread: -3
