Minnesota Vikings against Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers are taking on the Minnesota Vikings on back to back weeks. Last week the Vikings beat the Packers in overtime 37-34, but this week the Vikings have to go to Green Bay. The Vikings are currently 10-6 and the Packers are 11-5. The QB matchup  is QB Aaron Rodgers against QB Christian Ponder. This season Aaron Rodgers has had 4295 yards passing and 39 TDs. Christian Ponder has had 2935 yards passing and 18 TDs. Aaron Rodgers is definitely the winner of that match up. The next is the HB match up between Adrian Peterson and Alex Green. This year Adrian Peterson has blown our minds getting 2067 yards and 12 TDs. Alex Green this year has gotten 465 yards and 0 TDs. This is a obvious win for future comeback player of the year, Adrian Peterson. The receiving match up is between TE Kyle Rudolph and WR Randall Cobb. TE Kyle Rudolph this year has had 53 receptions for 493 yards for 9 TDs while WR Randall Cobb has had 80 receptions for 953 yards for 8 TDs. This is a close one, but Randall Cobb has been a great returner as well. Green Bay's defense is also far superior to the Vikings, so I'm choosing the Green Packers due to a strong passing game from Aaron Rodgers and his receivers. I expect them to win, 27-24.
