Hi folks,
As you can see I try to stay out of the NFL forum unless I have something that fits one of my situational criteria or system that I rely on.
I'm a huge Viking fan, been that way since the Purple People Eaters and Fran Tarkington was running the show. I'm very excited for the new stadium and wish I was there to christen the venue. It should be rocking.
Unfortunately, my title is the opposite of where my money is going tonight. There are too many intangibles leaning the Packs way for me to pass this up. While I love my Vikes, I love my pocketbook more.
10 Units played on the Packers - 1'.......There isn't anything earth shattering about this play, however, if QB S Hill was still the starter I would be laying off. As it stands, I simply can't back the Vikings starting Bradford. There is bound to be rust, timing, some confusion, etc, to the offense. Peterson can't be relied upon to carry the load as the Pack will most assuredly stack the box and dare Bradford. The Defense won't score Tds like last week, and I think Zimmer is making a mistake starting Bradford tonight.
Rodgers is a wily vet that has played and won in some very hostile stadiums over the years. The crowd noise won't bother him. The team is relatively healthy and when the O is clicking they could easily score 3-4 Tds which IMO is too much for Bradford and Co to match.
I really like Minnesotas D this year, however, if there is too many 3 and outs that will equal a very tired Defense and Rodgers will audible controlling the LOS.
If I'm wrong and lose this healthy bet it will sting a little, but if I'm going to lose this is the won I would be OK with. Sadly, I don't think that will be the case...
Good luck folks... Rraff
