Should be interesting. A lot of questions will be answered. How good is Rodgers? How improved is the Vikings defense? How bad is Tarvaris? Which of the 2nd year backs will continue to shine? Can the Vikes win without a QB, or can the Packers win without Favre? How much of an impact will Jared Allen have? Etc., etc.

 

I'll put on my purple homer glasses and say Vikes 24, Packers 17.

Most people are going to think that this will be a low scoring game. Two very good Defenses going up against two unproven Offenses. In games like this where I expect a low score, the opposite almost always occurs. I think that they will all be totally pumped up and that it will come down to the wire. Unfortunately Green Bay will have the loud crazy home field advantage which might make all the difference between these two.

 

I think either team could pull this one out, but I'll go with the Homer prediction of...

 

Vikings 31

Packers 27

As Hugh points out, lots of questions on both sides. I am feeling an ugly game where neither team looks all that good on offense. Part of that, IMO, is both teams have pretty good Ds and part is both QBs will likely be jittery and both offenses have gone through the preseason missing some key players. I think it will come down to whichever QB makes fewer mistakes and the game will likely be decided by Crosby or Longwell late.

 

Vikes 17

Rodgers has a solid game,plays within the confines the system.Peterson runs all over the place.Pack wins a close one that goes down to the wire.

 

27-24

 

 

That's what I like about Rodgers, staying within the system. Favre's gunslinger instincts were exciting but too often exciting for the opposition. I think either team could win with 27 points.

This thread has been pretty useless honestly, not one person went outside the box, these two teams and fan bases hate each other, not one person on here predicted their own team to lose, that I can see anyway.

Tough game to predict... a lot of unknowns, as was mentioned earlier. Honestly, I could see either team winning this in a blowout. Minnesota runs crazy and Rodgers struggles, or the Vikings' pass offense is so inept that they can't score, and GB blows them out by default. However, here is my gut feeling:

 

GB defense contains MN's running game, "limiting" Peterson/Taylor to around 170 total yards combined.

 

MN pass offense struggles big-time, with the exception of a couple of screen passes to the backs and maybe one big catch by Berrian.

 

Rodgers manages the game (and avoids turnovers) just enough to keep it close.

 

Turnover late by MN (maybe Tarvaris) opens the door for a GB win.

 

GB 20

MIN 16

 

Edit: Spelled Jackson's name wrong the first time.... :wacko:

All BS aside, I'm not sure what you were looking for. Two tough defenses, two unproven QB's and second year RB's. Lots of off-season moves. This is a cr*pshot, but it won't be a shootout. I think everyone here is being very realistic as opposed to thinking outside of the box and making an outlandish prediction. JMHO.

Looks like we're in doubt about own teams chances. After this game we should get a felling about our teams.

 

Tonight Donald Driver will be schooling the rookie safety. :wacko:

That's because Vikes' fans are in a perpetual state of denial. It's all the mental & emotional scarring of having to wear purple with goldilocks wigs and then getting their arses whipped by GB.
