Ruthless NFL Predictions: WEEK 10 Minnesota Vikings +4.5 @ Green Bay Packers Erich: Vikings Ah the Vikings/Packers game. The twice yearly festival of sausage and fudge during which we Bears fans can only root for injuries. Allow me to make a couple of points; 1) So much for Daunte as MVP. Five minutes without Randy Moss and Todd Flanders has surged past him in every important category: QB rating, yards, touchdowns. Culpeper's only hope is that the MVP voters go on the one category in which he dominates Todd Flanders: fumbles. Culpeper has seven, while Todd Flanders hasn't managed even one. Oh wait, I forgot Culpeper's 20-5 sack lead. Maybe this isn't as clear cut as I thought. 2) When you're in a contest that boils down to who can generate the most homophobic hate speech, you'd love to have an opponent who has a syllable in his name that rhymes with 'gay.' The gods have truly smiled upon you when you're up against someone who's entire name rhymes with 'gay.' The only real question is: Gayquay or Jay-gay? My brilliant answer isGaygay. Pick: Vikings Jaquay: Vikings Finally. I can't believe this game didn't happen until week 10, but perhaps the waiting will make it all the sweeter. Jonny seems to think that his Packers are good all of the sudden, as if wins against 3 crappy teams can make up for a month of putrescence in which Green Bay was clearly one of the worst teams in the league. He appears to have forgotten the Monday night game against Tennessee, in which the team engaged in the processing of food and its distribution to retailers put on one of the worst showings ever on primetime TV, all after Packers' defensive back Darren Sharper guaranteed a win. Or the loss at home to Bears, their biggest rivals, in a season in which the Bears will win 4-5 games total. Or the egg-laying against the Giants, at home, or on the road at Indy. This team sucks, and no amount of wins over the bottom-feeders of the league can change that fact. | |
