The Twins are so bad if it wasn't for summer I would want football season to be here now.

I honestly think these teams are seriously undervalued right now, I have shared my thoughts about the Vikings but you can still get them at 25-1 and you can get Green Bay at 10 - 1. I am playing both. I already have $250 on both and may add more.

Both teams have an easy schedule ON PAPER and should be playoff teams.
Green Bay should be hard to stop if they have Jordy and Montgomery healthy alone with the addition of cook at TE, I don't know how you stop them? Offensive line health will also be key and apparently Burger Boy is in great shape working with team Beach Body.

Packers defense has been improving and if the offense returns to greatness then they have a unit capable of winning it all.

Negatives:

Jordy is coming off a knee injury and will be 31, age shouldn't be a factor though. Speaking of age how long is Peppers going to be effective? Will he lose it all of a sudden like some players do? He is 36. The Packers middle of their defense maybe shaky, rookie Kenny Clark should start over Guion and the linebacker core isn't solidified, Sam Barrington coming off of injury could be a force. Also we can't forget the Packers record against good teams on the road, but they have a favorable schedule and could be looking at home field through the playoffs.


Vikings

Vikings are the opposite of the spectrum, they have defense that could be top 5, they added to their weaknesses by signing a veteran safety to play along side Harrison Smith and they also added veteran linebackers for line-backer depth. First round pick Trae Waynes showed improvement and should be much better this year and almost all Viking defensive players are in their prime or entering it. Offensively they added offensive linemen in free agency and may have hit a home run with Treadwell.

Negatives:

Teddy is accurate dink and dunk passer but he lacks accuracy in the long passing game. Even though they have added to offensive line, LT Matt Khalil is shaky against good competition and the center and right guard positions scare me. If Treadwell is a bust then they have to rely on receivers who are more crossing route guys.
Let's not forget the Vikings ability to choke on prime time and in playoff games.

In conclusion both team's positives out weigh the negatives, two teams with different styles who should win a bunch of ball games and if everything goes right be in the Super Bowl. Seattle, Carolina, and Zona should possess challenges but I do not see other teams in the NFC being able to jump these two teams.
