Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings
By far the best game of the week is Sunday Night Football's match-up between the Vikings and Packers. Last year, Green Bay absolutely crushed the Vikings, even with all the momentum the Vikings had. This year's Vikings team is better than last, but now they have the handicap of missing their starting QB, Teddy Bridgewater. Meanwhile, Green Bay looks full strength, including the return of Jordy Nelson and a healthy Aaron Rodgers. Of course my heart wants the Vikings to win and there would't be too many things sweeter than beating your arch rival in the inaugural regular season home opener at US Bank Stadium, but I'm a realist and think Green Bay will spoil Minnesota's night. The adrenaline and crowd will be able to keep the Vikings in for most of the game, but Rodgers and the Packers will seal the deal. Packers spoil the night 24-17.
