Game Preview
Mike Krueger

Predicted Score: Packers 23, Vikings 20

Green Bay: The Packers 7th-ranked defense will have a big challenge trying to stop Adrian Peterson but likewise the Vikes will have a tough time trying to tame Brett Favre and the 2nd-rated passing attack. Favre already burned the Vikings for 344 yards and 2 TDs this season and there's no reason not to believe a repeat performance is in store. Driver, Jennings, and Jones are healthy and give Favre plenty of weapons to go along with tight end Donald Lee. Jennings in particular has made his mark with six TDs in six games after missing two games with a hamstring injury. Ryan Grant's status is in limbo after suffering a concussion last week. He's been limited in practice allowing Brandon Jackson to take the majority of the snaps with the first team offense. Check gametime reports to see who fills the starting role in the least-productive position in the Green Bay offense.

  • Start: QB Brett Favre, WR Donald Driver, WR Greg Jennings, TE Donald Lee, K Mason Crosby
  • Consider: WR James Jones, Packers D/ST
  • Sit: RB Brandon Jackson, RB Ryan Grant, RB Vernand Morency

Minnesota: There's not a lot you can say about the Vikings that doesn't start and end with Adrian Peterson. Here's their offense, their team, their franchise. Minnesota's passing game rivals Tennessee's which is to say its nonexistent as result the only chance the Vikes have to win this game to ride the back of their rookie runner with a little splash of Chester Taylor mixed in. QB Tarvaris Jackson had a concussion on Sunday against San Diego and backup QB Kelly Holcomb is still recovering from a neck injury, which means Kelly Holcomb, may start. It doesn't matter though; if Peterson is contained the Vikings will be too.

  • Start: RB Adrian Peterson
  • Consider: N/A
  • Sit: QB Tarvaris Jackson, TE Visanthe Shiancoe, RB Chester Taylor (inj), WR Troy Williamson, WR Bobby Wade, WR Sidney Rice
