Give me the Packers. To me it still comes down to do you want to bet on Teddy Bridgewater or Aaron Rodgers?

You could be on the right side but my sense is that this perception is why the line is where it is. If it was based on what had been accomplished on the field on both sides of the ball this year I think minny would be laying more points for sure. Similar to Seattle in several spots this year.

Green Bay has dominated this series going 9-0-1 with the tie occurring when Rodgers was hurt. Rodgers has thrown for 702 yards and six touchdown passes in his last two games (both losses). Packers 37-19 ATS run vs Division foes and 6-1 ATS away in games off three straight losses.

I think the public will end up slightly backing GB. As TGC notes the joes will be singing "NO way Packers lose 4 in a row!" but give them the eyeball test and note that McCarthy is in full panic mode and is going to call "at least some of the plays this weekend" and I'm not so sure Minny can't win this one.

The Vikes have 2 keys pulling in opposing directions. Positive is AP playing nearly up to All Pro status. Bridgewater scares the hell out of me w/his tentative play under pressure. His first instinct is to bail & slide. His arm is average @ best, & other than Diggs the WR can't seem to separate. The TE s/b his safety valve, but for some reason that option is inconsistent. Our OL is awful, but don't know if GB D as they're currently playing can take advantage. #52 can be scarry good. Hoping for our D to play it's "A" game & AP gets 200+ yds. GO VIKES

Playing on GB seems like you're trying to catch a falling knife...Give me the home team with the better D and Running game all day (no pun intended)

I see the Packers winning this by double digits.

If Rodgers had his full compliment of weapons & timing down, this would have been a much worse score. This game was about the only thing that went well in the NFL for me today lol. Fuck you Rams, Broncos, Cardinals, etc... just saying!
