34-21 - Minnesota......
Peterson goes for 200 yards, 3 TD's - the last thing GB (and Ted Thompson & McCarthy) want is Favre to beat them - so they will let Peterson beat them, instead of Favre.
I think this will be a VERY interesting storyline tonight.... Most teams play 8 in the box versus Minnesota and try to force Favre to beat them... THAT IS THE LAST THING GB WANTS...
So I look for GB to play Minnesota straight up, and not crowd the line of scrimmage - so Favre doesn't have any openings - so look for a HUGE game from Peterson...
It's a LOT easier for Ted Thompson or Mike McCarthy to give up the run and say "Adrian Peterson beat us" than to play the correct way and TRY to shut down AP, and have to say "Brett Favre beat us".
There is NO way they will allow that egg on their face......
