The Vikings host the Packers for their second face off this year. The Green Bay Packers beat Brett Favre for the very first time on Lambeau Field but now now Favre will have Aaron Rodgers and his former team in his dome in Minneapolis for this important game for NFC North supremacy.

The Green Bay Packers are coming off a bye week as well as the Minnesota Vikings lost to a Chicago Bears team that now has six wins and leads the NFC North. Brett Favre did not put up the 400 plus passing yards in this game as he did the earlier week. The Minnesota Vikings were also held to 70 yards on the ground against a powerful Chicago Bears defense.

Clay Mathews could be the driving force from the Green Bay Packers defense. With Clay Mathews within the line up, the Green Bay Packers defense is among the ideal in the NFL and when he is out there is an obvious let down. The Green Bay Packers are off the bye week and should be well rested and healed up to do battle in this game. They are superior against the pass, only allowing 217 yards by means of the air and also a decent run defense that makes it possible for 123 yards on the ground.

Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings offense has played well this season but Favre has created important blunders at crucial moments. With Favre inside the line up they have had odds to win the majority of the games they have lost but they need to have to acquire the ball in Adrian Peterson’s hands.

Peterson has solved his fumbling challenges this season and has generated some big time offense for the Minnesota Vikings. Peterson opens up the field for Favre to get the ball down field but Clay Mathews will probably be attacking on the edges to rush Favre in this game. The Minnesota Vikings offense has the slightest edge more than the Green Bay Packers defense.

The Packers are the minus 3 point favorites, with the more than below listed in sportsbook at 44.

The Minnesota Vikings defense has been disappointing this season and has contributed to a majority of their losses. Looking at the numbers they’ve been solid. They have only allowed little over 300 yards of total offense per game and are holding their NFL opponents under 100 yards rushing per game. Jared Allen is off his game up front and also the Minnesota Vikings are vulnerable on the edges.

Aaron Rodgers has lost his quantity one running back and quantity one tight finish for the Green Bay Packers this season but has persevered. Rodgers is utilizing an assortment of receivers underneath given that Jermichael Finley went down for the season. Brandon Jackson has been hit or miss as Ryan Grant’s replacement but has shown signs of getting a massive time back. The Minnesota Vikings defense as well as the Green Bay Packers offense are a wash.
