vikings packers

Welcome to Skoloholics, and welcome to GAME DAY! That’s right, the Minnesota Vikings look to finally put an end to the Packers’ anemic playoff hopes, as they travel to Lambeau Field in Green Bay for today’s game. Kickoff is at 3:25, and the weather appears to be chilly but shouldn’t be much of a factor.

What do we expect to see today? I think we’ll see a LOT of Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison today. A few reasons for this. One is that the Packers run defense is more of a weakness than their pass coverage. The Packers have given up a LOT of yards on the ground this year, while not allowing a ton of passing yards. Play to their weakness, which brings us to the second reason I expect to see the Vikings run a lot today. Coach O’Connell recently mentioned that they want the offense to be more balanced, and to run more against teams when the run is the better option. I also expect Justin Jefferson to absolutely go off today. Jaire Alexander has been mumbling all week about this matchup, and in response, JJ shut off his Twitter account (that’s why I think he did it). JJ is focused and ready to put a foot in Alexander’s ass. I can’t wait to see it.

On the bright side we need niners to win. I don’t want to play puke round 1. They can beat niners and help us in the end.
