This game scares me. Can't fall too far behind early, Vikes are like jelly, they're on a roll...

Let's go Vikes! The Packers don't need to let the VIkings win, they can do it on their own without any help! The Giants had to win their last two to get in last year, we needed to win our last four. We're hot and I loooove being the underdog. #LetsGoVikes!

"I loooove being the underdog."

Then you root for the right team! ;-)

May the best Team win and please, do not let it rest on a controversial call by the referees! I prefer the Vikings, only because they still need their 1st Superbowl ring; they're like the Chicago Cubs of Football.

After last year, the Packers will be ready to go tomorrow. Look for a reverse of Sunday's game, with Pack up 10 early. Force Ponder to throw, and it will be over quick.
