Week 3 Game Of the Week

2-0 Minnesota Vikings VS. 2-0 Green Bay Packers



This is easily the game of the week as these 2 teams are so similar and they have been dominating the league since the start. In one of the toughest divisions in the League the NFC North almost any of those teams can come out and go deep in the playoffs. Even though it is only week 3 this is a huge game for both of these teams! The packers are playing better than ever and the Vikings have had some nail bitters early in the season. As we all wish we could watch this game, we just hope to read about this battle after. The winner of this game could be the favorite to come out the NFC.

Packers Keys To Victory:
1) QB M.Ryan needs to manage the game well. Coming into this game Ryan as a QBR of 131.4 and he needs to continue his dominance
2) HB R.Mendenhall and WR J.Nelson need to be big! If one of these guys have a bad game... it doesnt look good for the CHEESE
3) Keep up the D. The Packers have only given up 273 total yards this season and 68 on the ground. If your D keeps this up you may up set the #1 seed

Vikings Keys To Victory:
1) Run the Ball! You have shown you are one of the best in the league at managing your TOP but with no run game you cant do that. Vikings are coming into this game with only 83 yards running
2) QB K.Kolb needs to pick it up. Yes he does have a QBR of 120.9 but doesn't show up till the 4th qtr. Go OFF and put this game away early!
3) Stop QB M.Ryan. You have already given up 655 total yards on D-fence. If you allow M.Ryan to pick you apart you will loose this game. LE V.Gholston needs to show why he was one of the best last season and it wasn't just a fluke.

My Predictions:

The Vikings may be coming into this game the heavy favorite after winning the super bowl and beating the Packers both times last season, but that was LAST SEASON! The Vikings haven't shown me the dominance as he did last season and I think QB M.Ryan will go off and the Packers win this game and show they belong in the playoffs.
