It doesn't matter which receiving combo is better. Matt Ryan doesn't have anywhere near the arm s trenghth of Rodgers. He missed wide open receivers against the Queens and the falcon receivers dropped a number of passes. Jordy has better hands than both.
Week 5 NFC North - Big Week
- Thread starter bleedingpurple
- Start date
All starters are significant. Also, you don't get to say Tillman doesn't count because he's out for the season and then turn right around and tell me how Peterson being gone counts. By your statement his absence isn't significant and we both know how silly of a statement that is. All starters are significant
It's not just that he doesn't have the same arm strength, but he's not nearly the athlete Rodgers is. Rodgers is more accurate, more athletic, has a stronger arm and is more careful with the football. Rodgers is better in every aspect of the game.
Jordy is the best and cobb is the worst of the 4.
I gave it some thought its probably a wash.
The more I think about this tilt. I truly see a 34-13 type of game.
Gl bleeding, I know ur jacked about thursday,as I am.

I wonder if the Vikes will be a public pick? Packer fans here are shocked the spread is this high.
You should just lay off this game completely bleedingpurple. Going through your logic and write up on this game, you're contradicting yourself every other post with your logic.
I can read it in your analysis. You know that the Vikes are going to lose by more than 10 in GB in a primetime game on a short week with too many injuries and banged up bodies. But your heart keeps telling you that it's going to be a close game because you -want- it to be a close game.
I'll point it out for you - the big red flag I saw (amongst many of them). You say it's going to be a one score game 23-20 in GB. Later on when asked about the spread were it a neutral field you say... it'd be a field goal difference.
You're letting emotion cloud your logic here. Lay off the play. You don't have to bet the packers to cover the spread, but in your write up you are (without even realizing it) laying a strong case for the Packers to cover. And then, your heart is jumping in to tell you the Vikes are going to cover regardless.

You know what I like your criticism. You of all bring up some valid points and it does humble me. I'm going with what brought be here to this point. Maybe it is emotion? I just talked to FDC about it off of here but I think the pack have too many holes to cover it. If I am wrong I will be the first person in here to talk take the heat.

Norv Turner was talking about how the short week affects his coaching, Saturday they spent 5 hours working on the Packers then they have to put it on the back burner to concentrate on Atlanta then back to Green Bay immediately after the game was over. He says he really familiar with the Capers defensive scheme and it's going to start locating Matthews and Peppers. Vikes will be using a different blocking scheme in this one because of the edge pass rushing. Packers do not play the zone or read option really well and one would expect the Vikes to go with that in this one.
Less than 48 hours til game time.

Ponder has been getting the reps this week. Bridgewater has been held out of practice this week. Today is going to be a big day to see what happens, I don't think they will name a starter but if it is Ponder I am buying back 3/4 of my bet.
Took the under at 48 cause I think we may have a line change. I think you will see the Vikes running a lot no matter who is the q. Packers will have to work for points.
I've got the Vikes plus 10 -120 and under 48. The line is now down to 8.5 and I will be tuned into Viking radio all day cause buying back on the Pack if Ponder is announced and going to keep track of that total.
Did you miss the drop the VIkings had and Teddy missing Jarious Wright for an easy TD when he was open by 10 yards?
I would think so, I think it's crazy cause I think Ponder has such a negative effect on the game and the team. The coaches say he put in tons of work this off season and he did look good in a pre season game but that was just pre season. He hasn't taken many reps until this week. He does have experience but yeah expect the Vikes to run run run especially if bad weather.
I am going with the UNDER at 48 and I am waiting for official announcement cause I will be buying the Packers back, hope they drop to 7 so I can buy down to 6.5 and have a nice middle opportunity at increased juice though
