Nelly's Greensheet



MINNESOTA (-3) Green Bay (46) 7:30 PM
The Vikings have really not been that impressive offensively this season averaging just 318
yards per game. The Vikings have however come through when it counts to deliver a 3-0 start.
Defensively the Vikings have some of the best numbers in the league but they have faced
three marginal offensive teams and this will be by far the biggest threat against a defense that
has looked more vulnerable than the past few seasons. The Packers have had great success
in the underdog role in this series and this will be a much bigger game for the Packers than for
most of the Vikings with one small exception. Green Bay has shown a lot of problems against
the run which makes this appear like a bad match-up but the Packers have some key play -
makers in the secondary that could take advantage of potential mistakes. Minnesota’s home
field edge is not as significant when the Packers are in town and this should be tight game
that the Packers have the chance to take.
