Minny/Green Bay SBRtv NFL Experts' Roundtable MNF Analysis

[SBRPicks]

Scott Kellen of SixthSenseSports.com and SBR contributor John Ryan discuss the Monday Night Football Minnesota/Green Bay matchup.

Minnesota is having a lot of issues on defense, but is off of a bye week which may have given them an opportunity to get healthier and more improved. Their offense has a bit of renewed life with Christian Ponder now the starting QB, and RB Adrian Peterson having a great year.

But Green Bay's offense, led by QB Aaron Rodgers, looks unstoppable at times, and they have won 2 of their 3 home games this year by well over 13 points, the spread in the game.

Yeah I personally wouldn't bet Minny, I agree with you, but Kellen is a widely-respected opinion on NFL in the industry, and John Ryan's record in his NFL thread this year, at least so far, speaks for itself, and they both lean Minny

i respectfully disagree with them...john ryans record is very impressive but i don't see minny covering this time around like they did game 1 in minny.

I like minnesota to outright win! AP will go off this Monday night. +500ml

[HotRush]

I got Minny +24 on a Teaser. I wouldnt overlook a divisional game Also got a lotto ticket for fun on the Minny ML

Over 50.5 for me! Cam Newton being good this early surprised me. Christian Ponder & Andy Dalton doing well doesn't shock me at all. Ponder is smart and can move pretty well plus he has AP to take the heat off of him. Primetime games have a little more scoring usually as well. GBs defense doesn't sit back and let teams control the ball and run clock either. They blitz and use press coverage which leads to big plays for and against. I see something like 34-24

[BiGTonyHAHA]

where did you get that stat from chopper? Ive been looking for a good excuse to lean towards minnesota all day

[thebestthereis]

McNabb ruined the Vikings this year. If Ponder started from day 1 they would be in the wild card race.

Good luck all you Minny betters, I think GB wins BIG.
