Packers are going to lose this game.

Here's some GSIS for ya

Red Zone efficiency offense
Packers are 1st at 78.95%
second place is Dallas at 66.67%
Vikings are 15th at 52.94%

Red Zone efficiency defense
Packers are 31st at 84.62%
Vikings are 3rd at 38.46%


3rd Down efficiency offense
Packers are 3rd at 48.44%
Vikings are 8th at 44.78%

3rd Down efficiency defense
Packers are 18th at
40.68%
Vikings are 1st at 25.45%

Before the season started I predicted this to be a loss, and if that's the way it goes it will not come as much of a shock. However the Vikings without a quality quarterback/RB makes them alot less formidable. Their defense is still a beast but I think Packers take it in a close one.

24 - 20 Green Bay

GREEN BAY INJURIES PER GAME-5 -1st in NFL

Now I made this up but it's probably not far off. My point is with all the guys going down, playing 4 guards and a center for example, there is really only one stat that matters at this point. 4-1.

Somehow between the game planning and player execution GB is finding was to get the "w".
When we haven't had the starting Oline intact yet and with all the players not suiting up and moving parts with injuries during the game (like losing Burnett an King early this week) I don't expect stats to jump off the page.

These guys don't quit no matter who they put out there. There's no stat for guts and that's been a lot of fun to watch.

Smokey;385253Great point warhawk , but how do you see the GB vs Minnesota ?

Do you have a prediction to offer ? [biggrin]

If pressed for a prediction today I would go with GB 24-17. I may revise that later in the week depending on the injury report. I have no idea if Burnett, King, or, Jordy are playing and those are big names with Burnett being the biggest IMO being a leader out there in charge of handling communication on that back end.

I will say I don't see this being a high scoring game like you. Vikes have a very solid D and playing on the road in a division game points will be hard to come by. It's one thing to give that many up against Dallas in that their D is not that good. We give up as many against these guys and we're in trouble.

Tough to call this game early in the week.

The injuries to King and Burnett,
imo, are the most crucial of all the injuries so far this year.

Without them the Nitro defense goes out the window.

as per Aaron....#noexcuses

I will go with The thinking The Packers D will step up with 3 tutnovers.

The AAA offense (Rodgers, Jones,
Ripkowski),
control the game, control the clock.

Packers 27
Vikings 16

I think we have a realistic chance. They sure didn't look like gang busters against the Bears.
If we can win at "Jerry World", we can win in "Minny-Soda". (Which is an 8 ounce Coca Cola)[flapper]

Yeah the Vikings offense looked pretty dang bad against the Bears.
