Packers vs. Vikings Part 3: The Wildcard

As all the sports world knows, the Green Bay Packers will face the Minnesota Vikings for the second time in six days tomorrow evening on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. The Packers won the first game several weeks ago, and the Vikes took the game on Sunday. This game? Well, it will be cold. But as Packer fans we hope that, in the end, the ViQueens feel much colder much longer than the Packers. As in the entire offseason.

The build up in sports talk shows all week has been who will have the greater impact, Aaron Rodgers or Adrian Peterson? As fans of the Green-and-Gold, we know the answer. A-Rod will be the ultimate difference-maker. Particularly as he will have all his top receivers available for the first time since Week 4 of the regular season. Given the uptick and consistency in the Packers' running game, and Christian Ponder as the opposing quarterback...c'mon...the edge goes to the Packers.

There will be much more to say tomorrow, including our game prediction. So check back then. Or follow us on Twitter (@packfansunited) for updates throughout the day.

Go Pack Go!!!
