I think we actually get Ponder to throw some INTs thid time, he was just throwing it up fof grabs at times in this last game.

I read today that Woody will play safety and Hayward still will man the slot. So, I don't know if that puts a new wrinkle into Woody blitzing or not.

Hope not.

Woodson will still Blitz, Packers shouldnt be scared of deep ball

This is going to be a fun game. Vikings have some confidence and are that hot wild card team that teams always are afraid of. The Packers are the Packers and are at home with possibly the best QB in the league. The rivalry is back and both teams want this.

Vikings win 27-24, with Mason Crosby missing a field goal at the end to tie it.

Just a question, what's the nfl record for rushing yards in a single playoff game?

Also what's the record for total playoff rushing yards by a running back if by some very slim chance the Vikings go far?

I see the Packers winning this one. I think their defense will feed off of the home crowd and do a better job on AP this week. The offense will do what it usually does.

I want to pick the Vikes. I want to ride that AD/AP/Peterson/#28/guy-in-the-purple-jersey-playing-RB train.

But the Packers turned this season around after a rough start. Playing hard right there until the last second against Minnesota in Week 17 was good for them. No backups throwing for 6 TD's this season. No letting up. Last year's exit at the hands of the Giants has to still be in their mind. And this one is in Green Bay, too (as opposed to MIN, though that didn't help against NYG last year).

It'll be close, but not too close. A 10-14 point victory, hard fought until the end. Green Bay wins.
