With the packers being 6-0 and facing the vikings who are 1-5 you would expect an absolute demolition of the Vikings. However the rivalry of the two teams may make the game a bit more enticing and the fact the Vikings switched starting QB's. Christian Ponder will get the start for the Vikings. In the eyes of green bay's secondary this spells out turnovers for them and you can expect them to be hungry for some interceptions from the young qb.
The Packers Vikings rivalry starte in 1961 and events in the years after have fueled the fire for this to become a full out grudge match everytime these teams meet. Events like Randy Moss mooning the Green bay crowd in a playoff game and Brett favre moving to the Vikings a few years ago. In this much anticipate dmatchup i expect the reigning champs to come out on top with a big win and go into their bye week.

The only remaining unbeaten team in football is the Green Bay Packers. With the Lions losing to the 49 niners and the Packers beating the rams they have seated themselves in first place in the division. With a lot of hype going into todays game about the Packers passing defense not being very good they certainly proved critics wrong by only allowing the Rams 3 points even though they put up more than four hundred yards of offense. The packers offense showed up early and often as usual putting up 24 points in the first half.
Jordy Nelson had a 95 yard touchdown catch that helped put the team on top early in the first half. As usual rodgers had another all star day putting up big numbers and proving he is among the NFL's elite once again. It will be interesting to see if they can keep their streak alive and stay unbeaten in the upcoming weeks.

On the next kick-off the Packers did a surprise onside kick and recovered it. This drive ended with a Touchdown run by none other than Aaron Rodgers.
