So it begins. The Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers battle it out on Monday night with both teams looking to make it to the playoffs this season in the NFL. The Vikings are one of the “hot” teams for NFL betting fans to make it to the Super Bowl. They have two very good running backs in Chester Taylor and budding superstar Adrian Peterson. They have an improving quarterback in Tarvaris Jackson and their defense should be better than last year.

For the Green Bay Packers this game will be all about Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers and Green Bay’s front office are praying that Brett Favre fails miserably in green and white when he takes the field for the first time in the NFL regular season for the New York Jets on Sunday. If Favre fails, the pressure won’t be as hot on Aaron Rodgers. From a football betting point-of-view, Favre was always a good option. Football wagering fans haven’t seen enough of Rodgers in real game time situations to lay money on his team without worry.
