Wow at that Vikings/Packers line. Did I miss something or is Jackson still Minnesota's quarterback? That's a three unit bet on the Packers right there.
I think this will be the 4th straight year that I will be playing against Denver on the road in Week 1. The previous 3 all covered.
That line is sick.
Come on, VW...no analysis?
On second thought, analyzing games 4+ months in advance would mean your paycheck comes from ESPN.
I wouldn't be ready to commit to any of these, let alone a 3-unit play.
Devil's advocate wants to know how GB will stop Purple Jesus without Corey Williams, how Rodgers will perform overall, and how his presence will affect GB's running game.
Line looks about right to me... i mean, to the devil's advocate.
I'm surprised the Rams are only getting 7 on the road. I have no clue what they have done this offseason, but their defense sucked donkey balls last year.
That number will end up at 9 or 10.
I loved the Packers last year and I love them even more this year. I think Aaron Rodgers (acknowledging the small sample size of the Dallas game last year), with four years to learn the job, might play extremely well. They have the best WRs in the league and young, attacking defense. If they are able to get a solid, nickel CB in the first round of this draft (who can eventually fills Al Harris' cleats), they should be good for some time.
The Chosen Rob:
Good Devil's Advocating. I'll say this: I'm not worried for a second about Rodgers' ability to throw slants and the occasional forty yard jump ball to Jennings.
I agree that Corey Williams being out of town is a hit to the line but I'm not sure how big of a hit it's going to be or if it might even end up being negligible. I like their depth--they all can play and play well--and Harrell impressed me in his--granted--small sample size of playing time at the end of the season.
With that said, I made that post before finding out about the Jared Allen trade. I mean, Tavarias Jackson is still a giant piece of suck but that Vikings' defensive line is just scary.
I'm wondering how that'll change their KUBIAK projection.
For what it's worth, if you're going to bet against the Vikings, it's probably better to do so before they figure out they can't win consistently with Jackson at QB.
Regarding Rodgers, I'll still have to wait and see on him. But I did enjoy reading this at FO:
Aaron Rodgers participated in a sled dog race last month. The Packers may have questions at quarterback, but they’re covered in case of a diphtheria outbreak.
