Or should I say blowout? I'm having trouble deciding. Here's why...
The Vikings will be riding on the back of rookie sensation, Adrian Peterson. When the Vikings first met Green Bay this year, he broke 100 yards rushing on just 12 carries making him the only player to rush for over 100 yards on Green Bay this season. If he did that on just 12, Green Bay might have their hands full in keeping him contained. Fortunately for the Packers the Vikings lack a legitimate passing game. The Minnesota Vikings' combined completion percentage hardly surpasses 50% and has only thrown for 5 TDs. If the numbers don't impress you surely the signing of QB Koy Detmer will. For those of you who don't remember Detmer is a 34 year old quarterback who hasn't thrown a pass in a regular season game since 2005 and finished the season with a less than stellar 45.1 passer rating. Ouch. Maybe there's a reason the Eagles let him go.
The Packers will put on quite the offensive show. They will be running a spread offense against Minnesota, kryptonite to a struggling Vikings secondary. ( Antoine Winfield will likely miss Sunday's game with an injury.) Brett Favre will be looking for Donald Driver throughout the game, but let's not forget about their highly praised defence. All these ingredients will make Green Bay the favorite over Minnesota.
Minnesota needs big game on the defensive side of the ball in order to give Adrian Peterson a chance to carry this team to a rare win.
Final Score.
Packers 34, Vikings 21
