Brentastic Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Do any Favre fans know Favre's W/L % after an emotional game winner like last week? I don't either but I'd love to know - and it's not a stat you can really look up because the emotional factor needs to be considered. I was just watching the game winning recap on Sound FX (nfl network) and everyone was hugging his nuts after that play. Not saying it wasn't deserved - but even Favre had a glow about him, was giddy afterwards and obviously loving the moment (again, all deservedly so). My point, it just seems like the perfect situation where Favre lays a complete egg this week. You gotta think that GB has the advantage regarding familiarity between Favre and GB. Sure, ADP or the MIN defense could win the game for them - but I just have a hunch that Favre loses this one for the Vikings, somehow, someway. Anyways, since my pool rewards more points if you correctly pick a dawg who wins outright, this one seems like the smart play. Who's with me?

Crazysight Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) I don't know about that, especially with what GBs O-line, run game and defense have looked like. I'm thinking that I'll ride hot Indy at home against Seattle with the backup Seneca Wallace QBing. Chicago playing Detroit doesn't look too bad either.

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Good luck with that. Seriously, this game could go either way. On paper the edge goes to the Vikings but you never know, given the emotion on both sides for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awahl63 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 The Packers are a 3.5 point underdog...just sayin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip_Side Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 No offense but if you take Green Bay this week you have to be the biggest idiot ever. Granted, they could pull out a win but this game is WAY too risky to pick in a surival league. Chicago, Houston, Indianapolis, New York Giants, and even San Francisco are good picks.

You must have missed the last sentence in my post. We get more points for picking dawgs. This pool lasts throughout the year and you accumulate points, it's not one and done.

Both are 2 point dogs and should get wins Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelhead Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 then this is a pickem pool not survivor. Get your post straight. I'm going with NYG or IND in my survivor pool. better matchups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Not a good idea in survivor. Not a bad idea in straight pool. The Packers do have a chance in this game. And that chance lies somewhere along your line of thinking. Brett Favre came back to the league in large part to stick it in and break it off in Thompson. And in his mind, the best way to do that is to pull off heroics like he did last week. Favre won't get much satisfaction in this game if he just hands off to AP all day. I look for Favre to at some point break out of the "good Brett" phase he has been in where he just does what it needed to win the game, and go for some kill shots. How that turns out might determine the game. I can almost envision this game playing out like this in my mind. Close game. Favre takes unneccesary chance. Pick six. Game over. Favre goat. Thud. In any case, I damn sure wouldn't be betting on the Vikes this week, though everybody seems to think they will run away with it. But I picked them in the straight pool. If it were in GB I am on the Packers but not here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're seriously misinformed if you think they are a lock. The Vikings have played cupcakes the first 3 weeks of the season and haven't faced a team like the Packers at all. They barely beat SF last week. They are favored only because they are at home. I like the Packers in a close game.

You may be right on your pick but calling SF a cupcake seems pretty misinformed, IMHO. They are going to win the West. Brent, I think this game probably should be an emotional one for Favre too if that factors into your consideration. I think Minnesota's defense will outplay the Packers OL and that will decide the game. Edited October 3, 2009 by Clubfoothead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, with Favre you're going to get the greatest game ever or the worst game ever as there is no in between with him, especially when he's emotional. It will be a close game but the Pack takes the win. Sorry, MN fans, but this won't be the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
