If you would have asked me five years ago the best quarterback in the NFL.....I would have painfully said Rodgers. He had great numbers. Now he is one the downward slide at age 32. Not exactly past his prime but he could start looking like Peyton did last year in the not so near future and with that the Packers will start to fall with him.
Last year I just remember watch him look horrible in a couple of key games including the playoffs and his stats last year back up that decline and was one of his worst seasons. Started out this year with 199 yards and 2 TD's and completed less than 60%......not exactly elite type numbers. Playoffs he was 56% completion, 235 yards a game and 4 td and 1 interception and a quarterback rating of 85 against poor defensive teams. So if you are looking at the quarterbacks to make your decision maybe think again.
On the other hand the Vikings won the division last year with running and defense and those should only be better this year. The offensive line was horrible last year and the Vikings spent money upgrading the offensive line. The defense will be better also this year than last year and the have young talented players. They will blitz and put pressure on Rodgers. Packers running game is not scary at all. The other place the Vikings upgraded is wide receiver.
Now to the quarterback which is why Green Bay is favored. Bridgewater only threw for 220 yards a game, 14 TD and 9 interceptions.......you can put almost any NFL starter in those shoes and not be far off. For that matter with a good running game and better receivers than he has had in the past Bradford may look great.
Vikings heart and soul is the defense and they won the game last week and I expect it again tonight plus I like our coach!!
Vikings on the moneyline....dont need any stinking points and under the total
Skol Vikings
