The Vikings (2-3) beat Dallas 24-21, at home, last week and sit third in the NFC North. QB Bret Favre made 14 of 19 passes for 118 yards with one TD. RB Adrian Peterson had 23 carries for 73 yards with a TD, while WR Randy Moss made five catches for 55 yards. Greg Camarillo added a TD. LB E.J. Henderson pulled down two interceptions. Against the Packers last season, Favre threw four touchdowns with no interceptions in the Vikings' 38-26 victory. But these aren’t the same Vikings as last season. The Vikings would be wise to ride Adrian Peterson all day, as Peterson has scored a rushing touchdown in four straight games against the Packers. Minnesota's Randy Moss has a touchdown catch in six consecutive outings vs. Green Bay. The Vikings offense is ranked 24th overall (301ypg) with a 24th ranked pass game (177ypg) and an 11th ranked running game (124ypg). They score the 27th least amount of points per-game (17.4ppg). On defense they are ranked fifth overall (294ypg), they have a sixth ranked pass rush (192ypg) and an 11th ranked rush defense (102ypg). The Vikings give up the seventh least amount of points per-game (17.6ppg).
The Packers (3-3) lost to Miami 20-23, at home, and have dropped to second in the NFC North. QB Aaron Rodgers completed 18 of 33 passes for 313 yards with one TD and an interception. RB Brandon Jackson had 12 carries for 53 yards, and Aaron Rodgers also ran in for a TD. WR Greg Jennings made six catches for 133 yards with a TD. Aaron Rodgers is six games into his third season as the Packers’ starting quarterback, and he isn’t playing well. His passer rating is 87.9 points, which ranks No. 13 in the NFL. He’s directing an offense that bears most of the responsibility for the Packers’ three defeats. It hasn’t been anything like the machine that finished last season No. 3 in the NFL in points scored and No. 6 in yards. They’ve lost their last two games in overtime where Rodgers is 1-11 in games decided by four points or less. Their offense has taken a hit with the loss of their running game (halfback Ryan Grant) in the opener and Rodgers best weapon (tight end Jermichael Finley) two weeks ago. Their offense is ranked 15th overall (345ypg) with a 10th ranked pass game (243ypg) and an 19th ranked running game (101ypg). They score the ninth most amount of points per-game (23.2ppg). On defense the Packers are ranked 15th overall (327ypg), their 17th ranked pass rush (215ypg) and 21st ranked rush defense (112ypg). The Packers give up the tenth least amount of points per-game (18.7ppg).
