perceptions are hard to overcome

the Vikings are for real , they're rolling and they're still off of most radars

the Vikings are arguably the best team in the NFC, although not many seem to agree with me

the Packers are struggling, big time

knowing how cruel the gambling gods can be, anything can turn around on a time

nothing is ever as easy as it appears

shit happens, but I'll take a team like MN over a team like GB in this spot every time, and I'll lose a bunch of times when doing it

but I think I'd win more often than not

Give me the Packers. To me it still comes down to do you want to bet on Teddy Bridgewater or Aaron Rodgers?

looks to be some dough on the packers. this game is getting closer to pick, rather than inching towards -3. so far, anyway. i like the packers, too. but the spread needs to inch up for me.

For openers as most know a 50+ yrs Purple fan. But I'm also realistic. First there is no way in hell that they're "the best tm in the NFC". See Carolina, Az, GB, etc.! OL is one of the worst, Diggs is the ONLY deep threat, but most important is the QB. Poor decision maker at best, C grade arm, to say he's close to Rodgers is plain dumb. The D is very good, give it a B+, love the Coach. And so far AP is almost as good as he ever was. Right now the Vikes are playing as well as they can, and the Pack isn't, they really miss Nelson. Given all that, w/the curent status of both tms I'd say P is about right. GO VIKES!!!!

Did I say that?? No! What I did say "for anyone to say that", try some reading comprehension. That was presupposing such a comment.

The line is screaming the Packers are going to win. Packers look like so many other teams that hit a dead spot in the season and end up winning the Super Bowl. The Giants team, The Packers team that went on the road and beat in the Eagles at home in playoffs, The Steelers and Ravens.

The difference is all those teams you mentioned had a strong defense

It's GB or no play for me. GB was a sb favorite just 2 weeks. Bad game against Denver, followed by a tough game against Carolina, and another loss to a horrible divisional opponent. Everyone knows Min is 8-0 ats. The line moved from 3 to -1/pk after the detroit loss. There are some things match-up wise that favor Minnesota.

so you chose to speak "for anyone to say that is dumb", even when nobody said that but in anticipation you expected somebody would actually say that

and then you mock my "comprehension"?

OK, whatever, maybe the Vikes can pull it out for both of us, based on team play of course

I get Vikings -3.3 using my numbers. I calculated the info this week before and after updating the data for week 10 games and it would have made them -2.0 prior to week 10. Will be Vikes or nothing for me on this one....good luck!
