Dope Sheet
The Green Bay Packers (7-8) return home for a division clash against the Minnesota Vikings (12-3) this Sunday.
It will be just the third January matchup for the Packers and Vikings during the regular season (2015, 2021 seasons).
Three of the last four matchups between the two in Green Bay have been decided by six points or less, including a tie in 2018.
The Packers have won four of the last five meetings.
Green Bay has scored 22-plus points in 13 of the last 16 home games vs. Minnesota, including 37 last season.
Green Bay will end the regular season with back-to-back NFC North games for the fifth time in the last seven seasons.
It is the first time ever that Green Bay will play two regular-season home games in January.
Of the past 40 regular-season meetings between the teams, 25 of those games have been decided by seven points or less.
Through 123 meetings, which includes two postseason contests (1-1), the Packers hold a 64-57-3 edge over the Vikings in the all-time series.
Since 2000, the Packers are 26-17-2 (.600) in regular-season contests versus the Vikings.
The Packers have won 15 consecutive games in December, the second-longest such streak in NFL history. The only team with a longer streak of December wins was the Chargers, who won 18 straight in the calendar's final month in 2006-2009 (Elias Sports Bureau).
Green Bay has 789 regular-season victories, the most in the history of the NFL.

from the McAfee show,Rodgers says:
"I feel confident in saying that David Bakhtiari is trending towards playing this weekend"
That's great news and maybe Zach Tom gets kicked over to RT as a result

What is the status of Nihman? He’s been decent. Would Tom be showing well enough to replace him? I would doubt that, having to switch to the right side.
All that I care about is that the D can play respectably and help to WIN the turnover battle. If we do that, I think we win. It might be a low scoring 21-20. But still…

Its possible
game features 2 talented offenses, 2 suspect defenses - but the weather may have an impact
The O/U for this one is currently 47.5 pts - the 3rd highest total for the upcoming weekend
Colts dropped 33 points on the vikes in the 1st half

I’d be surprised if we don’t see the best of the Vikes. But I also think that we can still beat them. I wouldn’t have said that week 1.

vikes are very well- rested...they've basically been at home since November 14th
Only 1 rd trip in 6 games and that was a 79 min flight to Detroit
During that 6 game home stretch - All of the vikes opponents have scored more points than their season average
Since their bye, vikes are giving up just over 28pts a game - that's good for the 28th ranked defense

Has Doubs had an “official” (more to say recognized) coming out? Yeah, he’s done a bit here and a bit there and we talk highly of his potential. But is there one game yet where people say, “This was Doubs giving notice…”
I’d like to see that this weekend please. It doesn’t need to be a 7 catch, 150 yard game. Just a handful or more with two TDs and enough yards and moving the chains that people are starting to think that he is hard to cover.
:-)

If this was in Minnie I‘d see no chance, but Lambeau is Lambeau. If we can win this one, a lot will jump the believer bandwagon, incl. me.
We either need a lot of improvement on offense and defense or some serious help from Capt. Kirk and his crew. If the Vikings play their game with not more than one turnover I do not see it happen. We are not good enough to win by our own, we need mistakes to take advantage of, as we could clearly see vs. Dolphins.

We know there hasn't been a home field advantage in the playoffs for a long time. Haven't done the math on regular season - is that what you're referring to?

There's also that 15 game December winning streak thing. I'm guessing a fair number of those occurred at Lambeau.

A season like this one brings out all the ( I But t ) GB Packers fans
can't be helped I guess, faith is at a premium it seems, When every week one or another facet of the team craps the bed, We can beat the Viking, BUT this or that or the other has to get there game together

I do not have stats, but no doubt our chances are better at Lambeau. Doesnt Capt. Kirk malfunction pretty regularly at Lambeau?

Yes, he gets distracted by the green women. Oh wait, you mean the quarterback. No, he's been good except for one game:

So the answer to my question is Yes, you're talking about regular season HFA?

Well it's still the regular season. Looks like a Giannis slam dunk for the Packers to make the playoffs now.
But then again the Packers sure have done a great job blowing their home field playoffs streak. The Vikings, Giants, 49ers and Buccaneers playoff games come to mind. Mixed in there somewhere was a home game when Michael Vick ran all over the place.

from Tom Silverstein
OT Yosh Nijman suffered a stinger against the Dolphins and the fact he practiced today is a good sign he’ll be able to play against the vikings.
sounds like the Packers will have both Bak and Yosh...that's very good news for Sunday
