Re: 2009 Green Bay Packers - NFC North the 3-4 way
I actually woke up feeling very good about this game today and am not the least big nervous like I sometimes get on Packers' game days. Maybe it's because the Wisconsin football teams got a road split this weekend regardless of what happens tonight. Maybe it's because morepressure for tonight is currently on the Vikings since they need to hold serve at home. It's also on Favre to prove he's still got it and can overcome a highly emotional situation he hasn't always been great at handling post-Holmgren. The pressure of course will shift directly to the Packers and the Thompson/McCarthy braintrust for next month's matchup (especially if the Vikings hold serve tonight AND Favre plays reasonably well), but right now I think the Packers can go in with an underdog "nothing to lose" approach.
