NFL: Wild Card Weekend: (6) Minnesota at (3) Green Bay (NBC)

[Avs_19]

If Winfield plays, the Vikings will probably lose but they'll be in the game. I don't think it'll be a blowout like some are saying.

If Winfield doesn't play, the Vikings will most likely get killed. The Packers didn't have many big plays while Winfield was in there yesterday. After he went out Rodgers started attacking Sherels and Robinson over and over again and obviously he had a lot of success.

I am thinking it will be more like the first matchup.

Ponder lost that game for the Vikings because of two awful throws. Vikings led 14-10 in the third quarter and were inside the Packers 10 but Ponder threw one of the worst passes I've ever seen and got picked. Then the Packers led 20-14 and the Vikings had no problem moving downfield and were in the redzone again but Ponder threw another pick. The Vikings were in control and should have won that game. If this game ends up being like the first matchup and Ponder doesn't try to force it, it'll be a good day for the Vikings.

Green Bay by at least a touchdown.

This should be a blowout, can't believe that a third have picked the Vikings. I am sure that the vikings have to travel to play outdoors in Lambeau in January, did I miss something with the Vikings win yesterday.

And the Vikes have yet to lose a playoff game there. Different beast indeed.

I'll take GB but I don't like betting against AP. At all.

If/when GB gets the lead though, I don't think Minn can keep up playing from behind.

Exactly that is why they need to start out like they did sunday. Get the lead and run AP all day.

[darko]

Pack by double digits.

[FakeKidPoker]

Expecting the Packers to come out early and get a big lead.

Even when the Vikings were dominating yesterday got the feeling Packers were going to win, they always find a way.

No Faith in Ponder at all, but still.. pulling for the Vikes.

[HisIceness]

Green Bay should win rather easily.

[Semin]

GB wins by a touchdown or Vikings win by another last second field goal. No way will this game be a blow out I don't think. Division rivals, playoffs, it'll be a good one. Hope my Packers win.

What's the weather supposed to be like? Would love a blizzard or some really windy conditions.

[TorontoMarleauLeafs]

Gonna bet a parlay this weekend. I think the Vikings might cover the spread. Thoughts?

[thestonedkoala]

If it becomes a slug fest, I take Minnesota's kicking game over Green Bay. What the hell happened to Crosby? 21/33 FGM?

There's not going to be any snow. Do you consider gusts of wind to maybe 20 mph windy? Because that's about it. Going to be cold though. Teens with a wind chill around 0.

[GoneFullHolmgren]

GB despite last weekend's poor perfomance on defense still should have enough against the fightin AP's.
Rodgers leads GB to a come from behind win.

GB 27 Minnesota 23

[davebenj]

I think Minnesota because Packers' defense is very poor and Crosby has had a terrible season.

[Shrimper]

Green Bay with ease.

You obviously didnt watch that game did you? Cause the Vikings should have won that game excpet for 2 Bonehead INTS by Ponder!!

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Green Bay wins and by 10. 31-21 the final.

[sharkie551]

Pack are going to win it, but it's going to be a close game. I also might have to miss some of it as I'm probably going to Mass Saturday Night.

So far the only person in the media I seen pick the Vikes was T.I. He posted a video of himself on First Take today on twitter.

Skippy also took them but I don't count that:
1. Cause he's a clown and I don't take anything he says seriously and
2. He probably only picked them to troll Stephen A. who said GB wins 40-17 and worshiped Rodgers the whole segment.

FWIW I think Tedy Bruschi took the Vikes.

RT @StribDW: Have been told it is "looking more likely" Joe Webb will start tonight. Still no final word. But Vikings much closer to Plan B.

[Tuggy]

NFL Network reporting the same thing.

[Justified]

Webb?
