Packers tonight big
What a difference a year makes, last year I was on fire picking, this year has been tough but hey at least my Vikes are in first place and the Pack have lost 5 out of 6. Anyway I think I have a good one here.. Seattle -1 @ Vikings I would be shocked to see the Vikes pull this one out. Vikes were a bit fortunate yesterday as Atlanta scored in third quarter to go up but only had it nullified by a very questionable call in the end zone. Vikes end up picking off Ryan a few plays later and the momentum and game changed from there. Across the country, Seattle prevailed in a shoot out against the Steelers in a fun game to watch. Now to the matchup, both teams are similar in game plan, run the ball, play good defense and have the QB manage the game. When you look at defenses I would give the edge to Minnesota but the problem lies within the Vikings Offensive line, that line is going to struggle severely against the Seattle front and if the Vike's can't get Peterson going the passing game has no explosion, it's 5 - 10 yard passes, Seattle is experienced and I expect them to force Teddy to beat them over the top and they don't have the pass protection or receivers. Teddy has faced more pressure than any other QB in football and I cab't see the receivers doing much against that secondary. Vikes defense is pretty good but I will give the nod to the experience and intangibles Wilson brings. Seattle 20 -13 Really liking Detroit against Green Bay but I do not know if I can pull the trigger on this one. Detroit is hot hot hot and playing much better D. Green Bay not looking so sharp offensively but besides a game or two the Packers defesne has been good. Will see how I feel Thursday.
