Realistically this game can go any direction. BOTH teams are better than first part of season and BOTH teams are capable of winning this one. Boy I wish I could be at this game! Im a loyal bleeding purple heart Viking lifer but the thrill of just how good this matchup is has got my blood pumpin. SKOL!!!
Well idk if the Vikings are better than they were at the start. Then again it’s pretty hard to blow out every opponent you play. I mean they’re barely getting blew out the giants, the 49ers game wasn’t nearly as close as the score says, the Texans got absolutely smacked, the packers game is also not as close as the score says. So tbf that’s why they’re not "better than how they started” Darnold definitely is better than how he started but the defense feels like it’s getting figured out a bit.
As a Lions fan, I'm watching this game hoping for an easier #1 seed, but this is such a thrilling end to the season. I kind of hope it comes down to the winner take all game Lions vs Vikings, but how proud we all should be to be making the NFC north such a powerhouse division (sit down bears). Good luck to both teams, it'll be a great match up!
@@moose1442 yes! Its fun to see the division so strong. Week 18 Detroit/Vikings being potentially the deciding factor for 1 seed… think about that, 5 years ago that would have been laughable. But in all seriousness, WHAT A YEAR FOR THE NFC North. Unless youre a Bears fan.
Vikings are not better than they were at the start. In their 5 game win streak to start the year they had by far the best defense in the league and a top 3 offense. Since then they’re hovering around a top 5 D and top 10 offense. Which is still good, but worse than they were before
@@kylenothing It's just odds, you're jaded because you've seen Minnesota lose.. but the reality is, it's men on a field, coached by men with skill. They have skill this year and there is good odds they will successful. But the odds they win the SB are always low, but higher than most. Teams only get one shot each year and sometimes it takes decades for favor to change due to ownership, leadership and luck. There's no such thing as curses.. vodo or magic. It's just luck and timing. Minnesota has had more bad luck than good. Period.
Darnold threw his best touchdown pass of the season against GB in week 4. He threw behind the defender's head and hit Jefferson in the chest as Jefferson turned his head to look for the ball as he crossed the goal line. Darnold threw almost the same pass against Seattle in week 16 with the same result.
I’m a 53 year-old Vikings fan in Minnesota. Being a fan approximately 45 seasons, I can objectively say that THIS contest is THE best matchup I can remember…and is the most important, and potentially classic, Border Battle yet. Enjoy!!
its a good one. as a pack fan, lafleur is awesome but i dont believe he can deliver big wins. he never does the unpredictable thing which u need to go the whole way.
I think you forget, that the Vikings were up 28-0 in the 1st half. They were motor boating the Packers, and then went into their defensive shell, per usual, in the 2nd half. It wasn’t as close, as the score ended up.
Yeah, we let them back in the game the 1st meeting in the 2nd half. I still think this one will be close with us winning. Flo will take a look at the 2nd half of our 1st meeting and make corrections. Frankly, Id liked to see a complete blow out. Skol4life

Simms on the Packers: “They’re one of the rare teams that are top offensive football and top defensive football”….. You know who else is that?.. the Minnesota Vikings
Packers beat a Saints team with a rookie QB, last week they beat a Seahawks team without a QB, the week before that they lost, a couple weeks before that the Bears had them dead to rights and was kicking a short field goal at the end for the win. What have the Packers done to earn this much respect?
Nothing...living in the past like they do every year. I feel bad for them actually. If they lose to Darnold again, all their backsides will be itching, no doubt. Overpriced qb in Green Bay. That's their problem!
Yes the Vikings did have close games against the Cardinals and Seahawks. The Packers have had extremely close games with worse teams. A win is a Win. However the Vikings havent had any crazy luck to pull out any wins this season. If anything they have overcome luck of other teams that have kept it close sometimes like when they played the Bears. The Packers most definitely should've lost to the Bears, they lucked out. The Pack also get alot of calls the Vikings never do. The one game the Packers got hosed by the refs was against Detroit. Minnesota deals with that often. Not as much they have in the past@elsiesnyder9307
Packers are 4th in total offense with one of the NFL's best rushing attacks and oh by the way, they aren't too shabby through the air! Total defense, they are 7th overall. This team is shaping up to be a juggernaut! Much like 2010-11 season as a wildcard, when they won the Super Bowl. PACK 31 VIKES 27
Florio is a TRAITOR!!! If the VIKINGS win, he will have his Viking jersey on the following day. If the Packers win, he'll be wearing a Green Bay jersey!!! I've been a fan since 1970, and no matter what happens, I WILL STILL BE WEARING PURPLE! S💜K💜O💜L
They can pick whoever they want, but the bottom line is that they are playing at u.s bank stadium. That stadium is going to be packed and makes it difficult for opponents to play. Sam and the Vikings are playing outstanding the moment is with vikings and that vikings defense is awesome. Vikings by 10 points.
any realistic Vikes fan at this point in the season would put this game at a 50/50 at best for the Vikings... both teams are strong, but this is way different than Week 4 with Love playing at 60% and limited mobility. Packers fan for decades, but still realistic chance of pulling off the road win and evening the series on the year being at near full strength on this roster and gaining steam late in the year.
You're saying Love at only 60% makes this a 50/50 game? Are you delusional? This won't be an easy win for the Vikings, but they'll still win. What I really need them to do it pour it on and dominate.
@@MrTheDif Love was at 60% in the loss in week 4, not currently. That is the major difference between then and now and the reason the Pack should pull off a victory.
If we are talking about who “should” win this game, it’s the Vikings. Packers don’t have anything really to play for now. They already made the playoffs. Vikings on the other hand will be playing like it’s do or die to take that #1 seed. Both teams are evenly matched, but let’s not be kidding ourselves, Vikings have the advantage. They are coming out to win that #1.
It’s always stunning that Simms gets paid to talk football. I honestly believe the average 12 year old playing Madden knows more about the game than he does.
The disrespect that people have for the Vikings continues... I love it. Keep doubting us, and remember that we were missing quite a few key players in that game also and still won in their house. Now, it's time to prove everyone wrong again, one game at a time.
@drust488 Nope, nobody has really taken the ViKINGS serious all year long. Not ESPN, NFL NETWORK, or anyone else. We've already beat the Slackers and lost to the Kitties by 2 with 18 seconds left on the clock. Plus, we have only won eight in row and we're only 13-2 on the season. So, I can understand stand why the Slackers and Kitty fans would disrespect the ViKINGS. Remember this team was only supposed to win 7 games at best and finish last in the division.
I am looking forward to this game big time tomorrow! Never know but should be a fun one. Look for a bit of a shoot out with turnover battle probably being the decider. Both teams have only lost like 4 games between them over the last 12 weeks. Couldn't ask for a better matchup. I'm glad they moved it to primetime. Also, if Vikings do end up pulling the win out of this one, it sets up what would have to be one of the biggest regular season games on last week of season where Lions vs. Vikings will decide the number 1 seed.
The Vikings need this game more than the Packers. The Vikings can still get 1st Place. The Packers are in the playoffs for sure and 5th, 6th or 7th Seed makes no difference.
Darnold is playing better Pass pro has been better Addison is healthy Hockinson is in and healthy Pace is returning I feel like everyone is giving the Packers every excuse and just expecting the Vikings to be what they've been in previous years.
They seem to be banking an awful lot on a 2023 win over Jaren Hall, with Hunter, Jones II and Andre Carter as the entire starting pass rush. I think they'll find the team and crowd will be a little different this season.
@robe2504 that's what I'm saying. Different team. Different atmosphere. I also forgot to mention Cashman being out last time too. So: Cashman, Addison, and Hockinson, but they're right. Jordan Love wasn't 100% so it'll be different this time. Gtfoh They didn't play us at 100% and we still won in Green Bay They haven't played a qb1 in two games.
@@robe2504the same can be said about green bay earlier in the year. They are putting a lot of stock into that game. That game was months ago and frankly neither team is the same. Love being hurt that game definitely hurt them. Green bay at the time wasn't playing the clean football that they are now.
Total disrespect towards the Vikings! All I'm hearing is excuses for Love for the last game. Packers run game is almost 150 per game. However, the Vikings held Jacobs to 51 yards and Wilson to 27 yards last game. Vikings are 13-2 and the Packers are 11-4 just a reminder who has more wins and less loses. Florio floored me by going with Vikings, wow!
as a packers fan I need to admit that even sometimes the team look fantastic we need that signature win to know we can go this year to win on the road though games like we just almost did in Detroit but it was an almost so we need this game for credibility
the one thing i will say, if the packers lose to both the vikings and lions all 4 games, its incredibly tough to beat the same team 3 times in the same year. Thats a motto i always go by. So even if my vikings win today against the packers, seeing the packers in the playoffs has me really, really nervous.
As a lions fan i wanf GB to win obviously but they said the same thing about love playing the lions the first time, he shouldn't have even been and i agree, advantage us. With that said he was healthy the 2nd time and we didn't have reader, mcneil, or carlton davis on defense and we gave them 2 opportunities at an easy 14 points and we still fought hard enough(with a lil craziness) to come up with a w. So with that said I want the packers to win but if Minnesota comes the play I dont think they will lose this one. I believe Minnesota is the better team.
Our Minnesota Vikings have been disrespected the entire season, even with a 13-2 record. What is new? Is it because we weren't supposed to be here this year? GG either way.
I think this is going to be another classic Vikings vs Packers game and i expect it to come down to one mistake by either team at the very end. Over so many years of epic games nothing would surprise me.
In week 4 matchup, everything else exactly the same, but they have McManus, Packer win. It really is that easy. They have to beat the Queens on sunday to prove to everyone they are legit. GO PACK GO!!!
Love is struggling with accuracy. If Packers don't run the ball well enough, Vikings definitely win. With Redman and Pace back in perfect timing, I say Vikings will stuff the run strongly and force Love to win it. But he won't. Vikings win, 27-20
Love is struggling with accuracy? Now that tells me you don't watch green bay. "will stuff the run strongly?" is this your first year watching football cause your terminology sounds like a child.
Should be a tough, punch ya in the face, drag out type game. I hope my Packers come out victorious in this game. Go Pack Go! Side note: The Vikings organization would be fools to let Sam Darnold go after this season. I know you just drafted a top 10 QB in this last draft, what’s wrong with letting him sit and learn the NFL game?!?! Take a page out of the best organization in football, and let him sit for a few years…
The Packers are a solid team but I don’t get the hype. No different than any other year where they just automatically get Super Bowl consideration by the media when they really haven’t earned it. ANYTHING can happen when these two teams face but the Vikings have improved during the year at least as much as the packers. Jair Alexander is gonna have a good game against Jets? 😂 ok duuude. Are you going to recommend Jair starts by doing the SKOL chant at US Bank Stadium? Besides any success he has Sunday just opens up for Hawkinson and Addison, who’s been on a tare.
Florio talking about how it's such a big deal that the Vikings barely escaped in Seattle, where they hadn't won since 2006...The Packers hadn't won in Seattle since 2008. And the week before, they rolled the Seahawks by three scores.
@@Lotterywinnerify They won by 3. They got there by scoring a touchdown with under 4 minutes to go, then saw Seattle miss a tying field goal. If you want to call that spin, more power to you. Doesn't change the fact that the week before, Green Bay demolished that same team 30-13.
@@Koyasama It is spin. A win is a win. They didn't "escape". They handled business. It's not like Green Bay hasn't had tough games this year. Including a loss to this team.
Any team that plans its offensive game plan around rushing 220 yds and two TDs vrs 390 yds and 4 TD in the air is going to lose by two scores. Vikings are going to win by two scores because they have a far better offense and far better defense than the Packys. And Simms is a hump.
The first meeting of these two teams the Vikings were up 28 -0 and what the media seems to leave out and forget is where the Vikings were up 28 - 0. It was at Lambeau where the Vikings were dominating, this time the game is going to be played at US Bank Stadium and if the Vikings should build up a good lead the game will not be as close as the first game.
And you barely won because our kicker missed a field goal. The Packers you played back then are not the same team and I don't think they're scared of anyone the way they've been playing. This will be a close game and whoever has the ball last wins.
@Markinfilm And you only came back into that game because our player muffed a punt at the 1 yard line before halftime and you scored. Completely changed momentum. And we still pulled off the W IN LAMBEAU. This isn't the same vikings team either...
Man, LOTS of MN fans in the comments. This is going to be a fantastic game. Packers are going to pull it out, though it will be close. Absolutely no disrespect to MN, but if we’d had a kicker in week 4, y’all would have lost. We now have a kicker, a healthy offense, and a defense that has been choke-holding offenses fr weeks and just pitched the season’s only shutout against a - yes, depleted, but nonetheless professional- team. Would not be surprised if MN loses out and winds up the 6th seed.
The Vikings are going to win out the season and run the playoffs IF EVERYONE STAYS HEALTHY. No doubt about that. 8 wins in a row with the best receiver duo in football. Top running back. Top tight end. And a quarterback that's playing lights out. Not to mention the coach of the year.
The Vikings can lose this game and still have a chance for the 1 seed I believe. The Lions would have to lose this week though aswell. Then the Vikes and Lions will go into the last game with a tied record. That would be winner takes all. Unless the Eagles take the edge against them.
I think the Lions will win the #1 seed anyway you look at this. People shouldn't assume that this game is tomorrow is about the #1 seed. Sorry to say it, but that's how it looks to me.
Are the Eagles going to have to play all three NFC North teams in the Playoffs? Can they survive injuries? Their qb depth chart is severely fractured. A perfectly timed flagrant foul sideline Jalen Hurts; pretty easily! Do Buddy Ryan tactics work?
I believe the Packers are just a better team. The Packers beat themselves the first game. Packers are the youngest team in the NFL…. So time will tell. The Vikings can win it all. Are the Packers there yet? We shall see….
I say it doesn't matter who win. Vikings already won this year look at there record. About 95% said Vikings gonna be last place and top 5 in the draft. On a rebuild year yeah
Chris, Please pick the Lions next week when they play the Vikings.. The same way you picked the packers against the Vikings this week.. This will guarantee the Vikings a win!! Never Fails... SKOL!!! 👏👏👏💪
Tom Brady won almost twice as many Super Bowls in 20 years as Green Bay has as a franchise. You guys always bring up the past. The Vikings have won the NFC North more than any of the teams.
I have a lot of respect for the Packers. It's going to be a dogfight. The Vikings lost the best LT in football so the Packers pass rush will be an issue
This game is going to come down to a missed PAT/FG or a turnover. I'm a Vikings fan and I'm hoping for a win but Green Bay is playing great so they will be tough to beat.
Well, you're both correct in your analysis and of course, one of you will be wrong. Or said another way, one of you will be proven correct. But you know what? In reality, this game means little or nothing. Anyone can win once we get to the playoffs.
@@birdsley1962 AND dominated AGAIN for the first three quarters on Sunday--even more completely this time. Yes, I looked at both final scores--of both games. The thing they have in common is the Packers having fewer points at the end.
Let's be honest this game could go either way... Vikes beat them 1 time already... Playing at the Bank ain't easy. I'll give it to Vikes but I wouldn't want to bet the house on this one!
Darnold is playing way better than he was early too…it’s not just Jordan Love.
Darnold 16 tds and 1 int the last 6 games. Elite
And the int he threw was a net positive for the Vikings lol
@@kylenothing Yeah the USFXL Saints... are not a subpar team.
It’s the Vikings tho. They’re bound to do something absurd to squander an opportunity. If it’s not this weekend vs GB, it’ll happen eventually.

We've already beat the Slackers and lost to the Kitties by 2 with 18 seconds left on the clock. Plus, we have only won eight in row and we're only 13-2 on the season. So, I can understand stand why the Slackers and Kitty fans would disrespect the ViKINGS. Remember this team was only supposed to win 7 games at best and finish last in the division.
Yes, the Vikings are going to get this done
I beg to differ😉

Vikings win ❤ Dolphins fan here
I am looking forward to this game big time tomorrow! Never know but should be a fun one. Look for a bit of a shoot out with turnover battle probably being the decider. Both teams have only lost like 4 games between them over the last 12 weeks. Couldn't ask for a better matchup. I'm glad they moved it to primetime. Also, if Vikings do end up pulling the win out of this one, it sets up what would have to be one of the biggest regular season games on last week of season where Lions vs. Vikings will decide the number 1 seed.
The Vikings need this game more than the Packers. The Vikings can still get 1st Place. The Packers are in the playoffs for sure and 5th, 6th or 7th Seed makes no difference.
The seed definitely matters. If the Packers end up with the 7 seed they have to go @Philly and @DET... nobody wants that road
Packers need to win . I would say playing eagles ones or lions ones is the best road . Not play them both .
Two good teams that are division rivals. Anyone can win, but it will probably be a close game and flip a coin for the winner.
This game is going to be a bare knuckle street fight. Vikes by a field goal
Is anyone else seeing the resemblance between KOC and Bud Grant? I'm i the only one?
Darnold is playing better
Pass pro has been better
Addison is healthy
Hockinson is in and healthy
Pace is returning
I feel like everyone is giving the Packers every excuse and just expecting the Vikings to be what they've been in previous years.
They seem to be banking an awful lot on a 2023 win over Jaren Hall, with Hunter, Jones II and Andre Carter as the entire starting pass rush. I think they'll find the team and crowd will be a little different this season.
@robe2504 that's what I'm saying. Different team. Different atmosphere. I also forgot to mention Cashman being out last time too.
So:
Cashman, Addison, and Hockinson, but they're right. Jordan Love wasn't 100% so it'll be different this time.
Gtfoh
They didn't play us at 100% and we still won in Green Bay
They haven't played a qb1 in two games.
@@robe2504the same can be said about green bay earlier in the year. They are putting a lot of stock into that game. That game was months ago and frankly neither team is the same. Love being hurt that game definitely hurt them. Green bay at the time wasn't playing the clean football that they are now.
Hitman too!
Total disrespect towards the Vikings! All I'm hearing is excuses for Love for the last game. Packers run game is almost 150 per game. However, the Vikings held Jacobs to 51 yards and Wilson to 27 yards last game. Vikings are 13-2 and the Packers are 11-4 just a reminder who has more wins and less loses. Florio floored me by going with Vikings, wow!
Im not really buying that last time out the packers didn’t “trust” Jordan love when he had like 50 pass attempts
35 17 vikings
Very funny
couldnt cut it in pittsburgh
GB going down, no idea who wins the 1 seed. We saw how close DET and MN are last time, but MN is a lot healthier now. The smart money is on MN 1 seed
SKOL VIKES!!!!! Americas quarterback
Ask any Packer fan…the Pack will win by 14. Which of course means Vikings 23, Packers 21.
as a packers fan I need to admit that even sometimes the team look fantastic we need that signature win to know we can go this year to win on the road though games like we just almost did in Detroit but it was an almost so we need this game for credibility
You mean you need it for credibility not them.
the one thing i will say, if the packers lose to both the vikings and lions all 4 games, its incredibly tough to beat the same team 3 times in the same year. Thats a motto i always go by. So even if my vikings win today against the packers, seeing the packers in the playoffs has me really, really nervous.
I fully believe the Vikings will win a solid victory here. They are ascending and will continue.
They didn’t trust love but he threw it 50 times lol
As a lions fan i wanf GB to win obviously but they said the same thing about love playing the lions the first time, he shouldn't have even been and i agree, advantage us. With that said he was healthy the 2nd time and we didn't have reader, mcneil, or carlton davis on defense and we gave them 2 opportunities at an easy 14 points and we still fought hard enough(with a lil craziness) to come up with a w. So with that said I want the packers to win but if Minnesota comes the play I dont think they will lose this one. I believe Minnesota is the better team.
Hard for gb to beat the refs and the lions. Talk about a game they gave you guys. Love how you leave that part out.
Our Minnesota Vikings have been disrespected the entire season, even with a 13-2 record. What is new? Is it because we weren't supposed to be here this year? GG either way.
Anybody know what the score was between the Packers and Vikings at Minnesota last year? I don't see there's gonna be any difference...
Completely different Vikings team this year.
Packer vs Vikings should be good....
I think this is going to be another classic Vikings vs Packers game and i expect it to come down to one mistake by either team at the very end. Over so many years of epic games nothing would surprise me.
Josh Jacob’s with 2 stiff arms Aaron Jones is crying in Minnesoda
The bottom line is in order for Green Bay to be considered an elite team the Packers have to actually beat an elite team!
Your not elite
Pack are 0-4 against good teams this season. eagles Vikings lions 2x their only hope is hope…
@@brianbertel3254 No? 13-2 is NOT elite? Then who is?
The vikes are gonna come out on top!
I'm a Vikings fan and tbh I'd say it's a toss up. But I expect Minnesota to win
We’re about to find out
In week 4 matchup, everything else exactly the same, but they have McManus, Packer win.
It really is that easy.
They have to beat the Queens on sunday to prove to everyone they are legit.
GO PACK GO!!!
If everything else is the same, you will LOSE again. What you're saying really isn't logical.
28-13 Vikings! Sams 300yd 3tds
As a packer fan I’m not confident against eagles, lions or Vikings .. we’re 0-4 against them.. I hope I eat my words on Sunday.
Love is struggling with accuracy. If Packers don't run the ball well enough, Vikings definitely win. With Redman and Pace back in perfect timing, I say Vikings will stuff the run strongly and force Love to win it. But he won't. Vikings win, 27-20
Love is struggling with accuracy? Now that tells me you don't watch green bay. "will stuff the run strongly?" is this your first year watching football cause your terminology sounds like a child.
Should be a tough, punch ya in the face, drag out type game. I hope my Packers come out victorious in this game. Go Pack Go!
Side note: The Vikings organization would be fools to let Sam Darnold go after this season. I know you just drafted a top 10 QB in this last draft, what’s wrong with letting him sit and learn the NFL game?!?!
Take a page out of the best organization in football, and let him sit for a few years…
Florio's dreaming, Detroit ain't losing again.
Maliq Willis is 3W - 0L and should have played at least two more games while Love healed.
Minnesota gets the win this week , not in Detroit though. Lions are better .
The Packers are a solid team but I don’t get the hype. No different than any other year where they just automatically get Super Bowl consideration by the media when they really haven’t earned it.
ANYTHING can happen when these two teams face but the Vikings have improved during the year at least as much as the packers. Jair Alexander is gonna have a good game against Jets? 😂 ok duuude. Are you going to recommend Jair starts by doing the SKOL chant at US Bank Stadium? Besides any success he has Sunday just opens up for Hawkinson and Addison, who’s been on a tare.
The Packers are the best team and they will win the Superbowl
@matthewthemilkbender8095 see you back in reality after the game bud!!
Florio talking about how it's such a big deal that the Vikings barely escaped in Seattle, where they hadn't won since 2006...The Packers hadn't won in Seattle since 2008. And the week before, they rolled the Seahawks by three scores.
barely escaped is an interesting spin.
@@Lotterywinnerify They won by 3. They got there by scoring a touchdown with under 4 minutes to go, then saw Seattle miss a tying field goal. If you want to call that spin, more power to you. Doesn't change the fact that the week before, Green Bay demolished that same team 30-13.
@@Koyasama It is spin. A win is a win. They didn't "escape". They handled business. It's not like Green Bay hasn't had tough games this year. Including a loss to this team.
With their quarterback missing the entire second half.
SEAHAWKS MUST BE BAD AGAINST THE RUN, THE VIKINGS ARE NOT.
Vikings win 34-24. They’re just better in every facet, including coaching staff
How many Super Bowl rings do the VikQueens have?? They always fold... always.. lol😂😂😂
Tell us something we haven't known our ENTIRE LIVES. I'm sure you can think of something.
Any team that plans its offensive game plan around rushing 220 yds and two TDs vrs 390 yds and 4 TD in the air is going to lose by two scores. Vikings are going to win by two scores because they have a far better offense and far better defense than the Packys. And Simms is a hump.
a hump 😂 LOL
The delusion
LETS SEE ALL THESE VIKINGS FANS MONDAY MORNING W THE EXCUSES XD
The first meeting of these two teams the Vikings were up 28 -0 and what the media seems to leave out and forget is where the Vikings were up 28 - 0. It was at Lambeau where the Vikings were dominating, this time the game is going to be played at US Bank Stadium and if the Vikings should build up a good lead the game will not be as close as the first game.
And you barely won because our kicker missed a field goal. The Packers you played back then are not the same team and I don't think they're scared of anyone the way they've been playing. This will be a close game and whoever has the ball last wins.
@Markinfilm And you only came back into that game because our player muffed a punt at the 1 yard line before halftime and you scored. Completely changed momentum. And we still pulled off the W IN LAMBEAU. This isn't the same vikings team either...
@@Markinfilm packers are 1-3 in the division relax bud
lol you know Jacobs is going to cook
@@Samtino20Jacobs will average his usual 3.5 yards per carry.
I said they should have kept Wilis in there against the Vikings and I was right. This will be a different game with a healthy Love. Pack by 3
Man, LOTS of MN fans in the comments. This is going to be a fantastic game. Packers are going to pull it out, though it will be close. Absolutely no disrespect to MN, but if we’d had a kicker in week 4, y’all would have lost. We now have a kicker, a healthy offense, and a defense that has been choke-holding offenses fr weeks and just pitched the season’s only shutout against a - yes, depleted, but nonetheless professional- team.
Would not be surprised if MN loses out and winds up the 6th seed.
You may win tomorrow, but uh uh on Week 4. That game was not as close as the score indicated. That was a decisive win.
Dude wearing a vikings shirt picks the vikings...shocking, im shocked...
Oh no, play action passes. What ever will the Vikings do. They've never faced a team who play action passes. LOL Simms is such a waste of breath
The Vikings are going to win out the season and run the playoffs IF EVERYONE STAYS HEALTHY.
No doubt about that. 8 wins in a row with the best receiver duo in football. Top running back. Top tight end. And a quarterback that's playing lights out. Not to mention the coach of the year.
The Vikings can lose this game and still have a chance for the 1 seed I believe. The Lions would have to lose this week though aswell. Then the Vikes and Lions will go into the last game with a tied record. That would be winner takes all. Unless the Eagles take the edge against them.
I think the Lions will win the #1 seed anyway you look at this. People shouldn't assume that this game is tomorrow is about the #1 seed. Sorry to say it, but that's how it looks to me.
Harrison smith is back also
Old man
Florio a believer once the vikings are 13/2
Vikes pull it off 30-27. Skol Vikes!
Are the Eagles going to have to play all three NFC North teams in the Playoffs?
Can they survive injuries? Their qb depth chart is severely fractured. A perfectly timed flagrant foul sideline Jalen Hurts; pretty easily!
Do Buddy Ryan tactics work?
I believe the Packers are just a better team. The Packers beat themselves the first game. Packers are the youngest team in the NFL…. So time will tell. The Vikings can win it all. Are the Packers there yet? We shall see….
Green Bay is going to tank this game. Vikings will win!
I say it doesn't matter who win. Vikings already won this year look at there record. About 95% said Vikings gonna be last place and top 5 in the draft. On a rebuild year yeah
Soft schedule too
Chris,
Please pick the Lions next week when they play the Vikings..
The same way you picked the packers against the Vikings this week..
This will guarantee the Vikings a win!!
Never Fails...
SKOL!!!
👏👏👏💪
Lions are getting 2 of their pro bowlers back this week. By the time they play the Vikings and I think you’re underselling the Lions again.
Lot of Vikings fans in this comments over looking teams like they did the giants in the playoffs
No, it's completely not the same thing. Everyone knew they'd blow that game in 2022. Their defense was a mess that year!
Go pack go!!! As all lions fans we are rooting for you boys this weekend!!!
Packers fan here I root for the lions against other teams 😂
Vikongs opened -1.5 just shows where money is going
I'd like the Packers to DOMINATE the Vikes 35 to 0, but will be happy with any win, really.
Prepare to be humiliated.
Anyone could say that about their team playing in ANY game, no?
@@bryanmachin2152 I actually expect this to be a great game no matter who wins. The winner (or loser) of this game could conceivably win the Superbowl
@@DanielAluni-v2t Or at least conceivably be IN the Super Bowl.
Florio so has had life long jealousy of Green Bay. Not one Super Bowl win in his life while GB checks in at twice the league average. Sad.
Tom Brady won almost twice as many Super Bowls in 20 years as Green Bay has as a franchise. You guys always bring up the past. The Vikings have won the NFC North more than any of the teams.
ALWAYS VIKINGS DISRESPECT. Darnold will outplay Love.
Ha Ha Ha ha!
I think they will both play really well, even if in the end the Vikings come out on top.
@@brianbertel3254 still laughing?
@CoryOwens-m9h yes sir
Season starts all over in January bud
I have a lot of respect for the Packers. It's going to be a dogfight. The Vikings lost the best LT in football so the Packers pass rush will be an issue
This game is going to come down to a missed PAT/FG or a turnover. I'm a Vikings fan and I'm hoping for a win but Green Bay is playing great so they will be tough to beat.
Well, you're both correct in your analysis and of course, one of you will be wrong. Or said another way, one of you will be proven correct. But you know what? In reality, this game means little or nothing. Anyone can win once we get to the playoffs.
Dreamers like always GO PACK GO!
I hate when they pick the Packers. Seems like the opposite team always wins. Still rocking with the Pack tho 💪🏻 J Love's coming out party. 34-27
Jaire did well during the cleatgate game, but that’s it.
Had the Packers had an accurate kicker ,they wouldn't have lost the 4 games they lost .
They only had a chance in that game because of a muffed punt. Sorry, but they were dominated throughout the first 3 quarters.
@bryanmachin2152 And yet ,look at the final score !
@@birdsley1962 AND dominated AGAIN for the first three quarters on Sunday--even more completely this time. Yes, I looked at both final scores--of both games. The thing they have in common is the Packers having fewer points at the end.
Vikings 31-20
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Let's be honest this game could go either way... Vikes beat them 1 time already... Playing at the Bank ain't easy. I'll give it to Vikes but I wouldn't want to bet the house on this one!
