Coming off one of their worst regular season losses in recent memories, the Green Bay Packers look to get on track at home against the rival Minnesota Vikings. Fresh off getting trounced 38-10 at the hands of the Giants, Green Bay is in a standard trap game looking for their 8th win. Even with the recent history between the Vikes and the Pack (GB 4-0 in last four games), Green Bay can’t afford to lose this game if they want to lead the race for the playoffs. Although entering Sunday’s game as the severe underdog (+9.5), Minnesota remains one of the league’s biggest surprises given their competitive 6-5 record. Lots of playoff implications in this game, and it shouldn’t disappoint fans.
The Pack are the heavy favorites for Sunday, they’ve won 80% of game simulations. They also have a 60% probability of beating the 9.5 point spread, and it could be over quickly if QB Aaron Rodgers aggressively attacks. Rodgers averaged almost 30...

Rodgers, who has been growing a moustache all month to help raise awareness of prostate cancer as part of Movember, plans to shave it as soon as the calendar turns to December.

Mike McCarthy Admits Mistakes
As I sat in MetLife Stadium and watched the NY Giants dismantle the Packers before my eyes, my neck started to hurt from shaking my head so much. Beyond the disappointing play and the result, I was especially not pleased by what I saw of the Packers game plan, play calling and decision-making.

Packers looking for ways to keep Rodgers upright
For a guy who does his best work in the air, Aaron Rodgers is spending way too much time on the ground.
The reigning NFL MVP has been sacked 37 times, more than any other quarterback in the league. He's taken more hits in the first 11 games than he did all of last season (36 sacks), and is on pace to topple the career-high 50 sacks he took in 2009.

One thing I noticed while watching the Green Bay Packers humiliating loss to the New York Giants was their inability to put themselves in favorable down-and-distance situations.
In fact, of the 54 offensive downs that Aaron Rodgers was on the field for, 40 of them were at or over ten yards to convert. Three were in the moderate-long range (7-9 yds.), eight were in the moderate-short...
