Summary:

Minnesota managed to squeeze by Tennessee last week despite a slow day from Adrian Peterson.  The Vikings started backup quarterback Shaun Hill in lieu of recently trading a first-round pick for Sam Bradford.  The Vikings defense is loaded but they will have the tall task of slowing down Aaron Rodgers and the explosive Packers offense.  The Packers won a close one against Jacksonville last week.  In their last seven head to head match-ups the Vikings have just one win.  I like the Packers to win this one with the question marks Minnesota has a quarterback.
