Five Reasons The Packers Will Beat The Vikings » Brats & Beer

We’re just an hour away from kickoff at the Humpty Dome and I have yet to write one disparaging word about the Vikings. Thankfully, the Packer Palace has more than enough trash talk to make up for my lack of attentiveness. But here, belatedly, are the five reasons Green Bay will win today in the Twinkie Cities:

5. The Packer defense continues to gel, despite a couple miscues last week in Buffalo. They should be able to shut down any running game the Vikes might attempt, and Brad Johnson will be a sitting duck for one Mr. AJ Hawk.

4. The Vikings defense is overrated. They’ve spent all week preparing to get slashed by the Packers running game by whining to the press about the zone blocking Green Bay is using this year, and it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

3. Ryan Longwell has turned into a little whiny bitch since he left Green Bay, a sure mark of insecurity. He’ll choke if it comes down to a last second field goal. But . . .

2. It won’t come down to a last second field goal, because the Packers are going to dominate time of possession with the running game and be well ahead late in the game.

1. The Baby Jesus will cry if the Vikings win, and you don’t want to make the Baby Jesus cry, do you?
