So here is what I'm thinking.  Everyone has a different view of what the outcome is going to be of the game.  So for fun, why not make a single post for everyone to take thier guess

Jim Rome - Packers by 7

Myself - Packers by 7 

Final score 31-24

You?

Come on,  its not like its on record or anything... Oh wait, eh its all in fun

20-17 packers Favre throws two picks. Gets sacked 5 times. Our defense controls this game.

34-14 Vikings.  200+ yds for Peterson.  Rodgers sacked 7+ times leading to 2+ turnovers.

33-24  Vikings.   The only 2 good teams the Packers have played this year, the defense gave up over 30 points.

27-21 Viqueens.

The big story will be Rogers being sacked multiple times.

Jeremey Kapinos has a punt blocked which ends up being the ESPN turning point in the game. 

Favre throws one juicey interception.

Needless to say,  I hope I am wrong!

27-24 in  a nail biter. The Pack learned from their mistakes. Their D is better now than several weeks ago. Jennings is still a non-factor.

27-24 - Packers.  AP 120 yards 1 TD, Rice 1 TD, 1 TD Viscanthe

                               Grant 110 yards 1 TD, Jennings 1 TD, Williams Pick 6 or Kickoff Return for 6, 2 FGs

I don't want this topic to be a huge debate or anything, just predictions, But... Thank the lord we have Driver hey. 

41-31 Vikings.

27-13 Packers

38-24 Farpetericevins

Key player(s) for MIN - Visanthe Shiancoe, Percy Harvin, Ben Leber, John Sullivan

Key player(s) for GB - Donald Driver, Sir Charles Woodson, Ahman Green, T.J. Lang, ROLB (Poppy/CM3)

This game will NOT be about the QBs, it will be about the GB OL and MIN secondary.

MIN must defend the pass, even if they have to allow Ahman Green yardage. They must exploit the soft middle of the GB interior LB corps/Safetys with twin TE sets and multiple receiver packages to spread the GB secondary into single coverage.

GB must attack John Sullivan in the middle and force him to make mistakes in pass protection. They must also protect the weak side corner on defense. They must prevent Leber/Allen/KW from stunting the left interior OL (Spitz/DC).

• Can't and won't predict the exact score, but I am taking the Packers in a nail biter.

Packers on the upswing, queenies have already peaked.  Plus it's Lambeau.

Also....Capers is 0-8 against a Favre-led team.  He's due.  Defense will be on a mission.

Probably Vikes by a touchdown.  I'm not convinced that we can play at a high level week in and week out.

Let's see... Winfield is out for Minnesota but save for two big plays, Pittsburgh, a good passing team, didn't throw that well last week. I think we'll struggle to move the ball consistently- and a lot of that will probably have to do with sacks. I think it'll be just as bad as last time, unfortunately, because even though we may get better blocking from Lang on the edge, the Williams wall in the middle was also a huge force last game in that they totally dominated our interior and pushed back the pocket. But, even though we'll struggle to move it consistently, we should be able to exploit the shorthanded defense for a few big plays like Pittsburgh did and hopefully that's enough. Plus, I think we will be able to run at least moderately well and that will help our passing game out at least a little bit as long as we don't fall behind.

Favre obviously shredded us last game, and I'm having trouble deciding whether that means he'll be able to do it again no problem or whether now that we've faced them once we'll do a better job. The Vikings moved the ball ok against Pittsburgh's 3-4 last week and ours isn't on their level, so I'm thinking that even though we may not get thrown all over again it's still not likely that we'll hold them under 20 points and/or force 2 or 3 turnovers.

That said, I think we'll win but it'll be in sloppy fashion kind of like the Bears game, so I'll say 22-20 Pack

Minnesota Vikings     37

Green Bay Packers      30

Adrian Peterson will have a decent day 120+

Jared Allen wont repeat the previous performance

Favre will throw a pick... and this time it will be his fault

Rodgers will have a nice stat game

Packers run game almost non-existant

Ted Thompson sh*ts himself

Green Bay 27

minny         16

I think the game will be very close with the Packers scoring late to seal the deal possibly with a defensive TD. We know how the gunslinger gets tight late in close games and last weeks fiasco has to be playing in his head. Sack and fumble or dumb, lazy throw might be the difference maker.

GB will move the ball, no question about that but the team has to do somethig it hasn't all season - reduce it's penalty total. If they get 12 penalties the Packers probably lose but I think this week they are more focused and get the benefit of some home town calls.

MN will stop the run for the most part but so what? They can't stop the pass and won't have Winfield. Packers are going to miss Nelson and if he can't play Funley but still have enough. Having the full starting D healthy will be a big help as Favre won't have an easy mark to throw at like he did with Martin.

But it might also be 45-3 either way so what the hell do I know?

27 to 17 Packers

My heart tells me the packers win.

My stomach tells me that we lose Rodgers with an injury that is not serious but he is unable to come back in to play the 4th quarter. we lose by 3 points.

I really,really, really hope that my Heart wins this one.

Go Pack Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAH, well played...I am going with B since D.C. politicians believe they are infallable

As for the game, I am going with the Vikes 24-17.  I am not sure how the Packer OLine and Defense has gotten better since the first meeting between these two teams...I think it has to do more with the fact they played two garbage teams back to back after the bye...that does not make either BETTER...it just looked better against crappy teams.

Green Bay 34

Minnesota 24

A Rogers with 278 yds 3 TD's 0 INT's (sacked only 1 time)

A Green has a few nice 3rd down pick-ups catching short passes out of the backfield keeping drives alive

Driver and Jennings each with a TD reception (Grant the other on a swing pass and one rushing TD)

# 4 with 2 TD's, 2 INT's 255 yds

A Peterson with 108 yds, 1 TD

Allen 1/2 sack

Sounds good enough to me...

This should be a good game going down to the wire no doubt I would have to give the W to favre and the vikings 27-24........
