vikings vs packers

Monday night football on 10/5/09 features vikings vs packers. Brett Favre will have a shot at exacting a little revenge against his old teammates from Green Bay tonight at the Metrodome in Minnesota. While Favre is getting the hype heading into the MNF action, it's Adrian Peterson and the Vikings ground game that will be the deciding factor in this one that airs on ESPN at 8:30 PM (ET).

The Vikings vs Packers NFLBetting odds and Free Sports Picks have Minnesota -5 point favorites at Bodog.com. The Vikings hold a big free sports picks edge with their pass-rush against the Packers O-line and should be able to get pressure with All-Pro DE Jared Allen flying off the edge.

After 19 years of his NFL career, Brett Favre seemed destined to follow the path of a John Elway or a Dan Marino –- a franchise signal caller destined to end his career with the team he played for. Only now, our hero has written a few more, unexpected chapters - the conclusion is the discovery that our hero is not actually ours, indeed he never was. It is only natural that we, as Packers fans, feel personally slighted, feel aggrieved, that our hero has turned. Favre was considered a god in Green Bay until he took his cleats to the New York Jets last year. Now, firmly planted as the starting quarterback for one of Green Bay’s biggest rivals, the Minnesota Vikings, Brett Favre will have ample motivation to go out and take apart the Packers.

Remember the miracle pass of Brett Favre to Greg Lewis in last week’s Vikings’ victory over the San Francisco 49’ers?
