AAA's THU NIGHT *Vikes/Pack* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER! EASY WINNER LAST THU!
(NFL) Minnesota vs. Green Bay,
Total: 48.00 | -115.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is an 8* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER on the UNDER between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers.

For a number of different reasons I expect this total to stay below the posted number once the final whistle sounds. I played on Green Bay last week and its beleagured offense would finally respond with a big effort as the Packers would pull away for an easy 38-17 win over the Bears on Sunday; QB Aaron Rodgers threw for 302 yards and four TD's on 22 of 28 passing. Note though, Rodgers was limited to just 162 yards in Week 3 at Detroit. The offense was far from perfect, GB was outrushed 235-56 by the Bears and its 73.0 YPG ranks it 28th in the league; in fact, RB Eddie Lacy has yet to crack 50 yards in a game yet. As Rodgers goes, so go the Packers. However, a date vs. the stingy Vikings is not what the doctor ordered to keep the momentum rolling, Minnesota has yet to allow a 300-yard passing game. Last week the Vikes would break out offensively as well in a 41-28 home win over Atlanta, their 558 combined yards was the fourth-highest total in franchise history with rookie QB Teddy Bridgewater at the helm. Note though, the short week could not have come at a more innoportune time for Bridgewater who would suffer a sprained ankle in the fourth quarter last week; Bridgewater will be a game time decision (as of writing this), and if he does play, certainly won't be at 100%. One player that will definitely be leaned on by the visitors today is rookie RB Jerick McKinnon who had 135 yards on 18 carries last week. Unlike Green Bay, Minnesota relies heavily on its run game for success, its 134.8 rushing yards per contest ranks it fourth in the NFC. Note that Minnesota has seen the total go UNDER the number in three of its last four as an underdog in the 7.5 to 10 points range, while the Packers have seen it dip below the posted number in three of their last four as a home favorite in the 7.5 to 10 points range. I believe that the situation, the numbers and the trends all point to the UNDER as the sharp wager in this contest.
