I led the pick ‘em league this week with a 10-5 ATS record, but the posted picks went 1-2 ATS which I apologize for. I hit on the Texans pick, but fell victim to another shocking upset with the Seahawks topping the Ravens. Logic would dictate that if the Ravens beat the Steelers twice, and the Steelers beat the Bengals, and the Bengals destroyed the Seahawks, that the Ravens should destroy the Seahawks, but logic doesn’t always play out in the NFL, especially when trying to pick road favorites to win. But we hit on the Falcons as road favorites last week and hit on the Texans as road favorites this week — you win some, you lose some. Onto Monday Night.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS (-13)
I would lean Packers at home on Monday Night. Their offense is just dominating, but the Vikings have improved since they’ve put in Christian Ponder at QB. I don’t liking giving up so many points since a 7-10 point win by the Packers is within the realm of possib...

In the rematch between the two NFC North rivals on...

Take your shirt off: Ooooh, yeah girl. I know you been thinking about Mr. Ponder all weekend long. You out drinking a gin and ginger ale on Friday night at Sally's, thinking which one of those meat heads with the popped collar you're going to settle for and take home with you so he can get all sloppy on you from behind while you fantasize about Christian Ponder's white...

''Tonight was no different than any other night for me,'' Matthews said. ''It was just...
Packers defense pitches a shutout in first half
The Vikings defense has actually done a nice job overall on the amazing Aaron Rodgers Monday night. Yet Minnesota still trails 17-0 at halftime. The Packers scored quickly on a Randall Cobb punt return, and their defense picked off Christian Ponder to help keep Minnesota off the scoreboard. Rodgers has made a few ridiculous throws,…
