Head Coach Mike McCarthy has won all three home games against Minnesota since arriving in 2006. - Both franchises opted for new head coaches in '06, and thus far McCarthy has a 5-2 advantage over Vikings coach Brad Childress. - Last season's matchup at Lambeau Field was the season opener. QB Aaron Rodgers, making his first career start, established a career high with a completion percentage of 81.8%, the second-highest mark in NFL history by a quarterback (min. 20 attempts) in his first start. An interception by Green Bay's defense in the final minutes sealed the 24-19 victory. - It was under four weeks ago that the two teams met in the Metrodome on a Monday night. The largest audience in the history of cable television saw the Vikings defeat the Packers 30-23 behind eight sacks. - Matching the top two teams in the NFC North, the game could have far-reaching implications in the division race. - Minnesota comes into the game 6-1, having suffered its first loss of the season in Pittsburgh last weekend. The Vikings will have their bye next weekend, while Green Bay will hit the road to take on Tampa Bay. THE DOPE ON THIS WEEK'S OPPONENT: Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings All-time, regular season: 49-46-1 All-time, postseason: 0-1 All-time, at Lambeau Field: 17-16-1 Streaks: The Vikings have won two straight, but the Packers have won four of the last five regular-season matchups in Green Bay. Last meeting, regular season: Oct. 5, 2009, at HHH Metrodome; Vikings won, 30-23 Last meeting, regular season, in Green Bay: Sept. 8, 2008; Packers won, 24-19 COACHES CAPSULES Mike McCarthy: 32-24-0, .571 (incl. 1-1 postseason); 4th NFL season Brad Childress: 30-26-0, .535 (incl. 0-1 postseason); 4th NFL season Head to Head: McCarthy 5-2 vs. Opponent: McCarthy 5-2 vs. Vikings; Childress 2-5 vs. Packers Read Full Sheet Here Well here we go again. Showdown of the year but this time its in our house. It will be interesting to see the reaction Favre gets entering that stadium. People that boo him should be ashamed for all that he's done for the Packers in 15 years. Those people take football too seriously if they truly do hate the man that did our team great for so long. It absolutely sucks to think we have fans like that...Anyway, here's to hoping our running game is on track this time around and our defense has a chance to go after Favre. I think our crowd may actually get to him a bit and be more on Rodgers side. Can't wait for this rematch. Going to be a great game whether the Packers get swept out or not.

Our defense was completely owned by the Vikings and once again Rodgers was not protected at all by anyone on the offensive line. This series is over. It's time to rebuild, FIRE THOMPSON, and start winning again. Let's go to Tampa ready to play this time around. Packers: 26 Vikings: 38
