Monday Night Football Preview: Brett Favre vs the Green Bay D Brett Favre Vikings Quarterback On Monday Night Football betting it will be strange seeing Brett Favre on the field at the same time as the Green Bay Packers D. Believe or not NFL betting fans, the remarkable number 4 will dress purple this time and will face their old teammates in the biggest game in week 4. The number one reason why Favre is playing with the Vikings is to get some revenge from the Packers after they shutdown the possibility of a Favre playing again for them last season. General Manager Ted Thompson along with Packers' management and head coach Mike McCarthy said that the organization wanted to move on with Aaron Rodgers as the team new starting quarterback in the 2008 season.

Now Favre is back with one of the Packers biggest rivals and with thirst for revenge. "Part of me coming back last year, I have to admit now, was sticking it to Ted," Favre said. Even with the Favre circus, both teams have to remember that this is a divisional matchup. A win on the road for Green Bay could tie them with Minnesota at the first place and if the Bears win against the Lions, there will be a 3 way tie for the lead in the NFC north. Everyone will be looking at Favre on his first offensive drive to see if he can remember to pass to the purple uniforms and not the gold and green. Green Bay Packers: +3 -110 Minnesota Vikings: -3 -110 O /U 45: -110 My pick: Favre and the Vikings will cover. Over. He will face familiar faces like Al Harris, Charles Woodson and Cullen Jenkins who played with Favre long enough to know his playing style. But then again, Favre also has that edge since he knows them and is may be able to read when the blitz is coming or when he can burn the secondary. The guys that really can pick up on Favre's tendencies will be TE Donald Lee, WR Greg Jennings and especially Donald Driver who played with him from 1999 until 2007 and accumulated 39 TDs. They all probably know Favre better than anyone after spending training camps, practices and games with him. In the end I don't believe the Vikings passing game will be the deciding factor, the Packers will be worry about how to stop Adrian Peterson after struggling against the Bengals and the Rams on the ground. Peterson averages 129 rush yards against the Packers and had 989 yards at home in eight games last year. The story of this matchup is Brett Favre but the key is how to stop the best RB in the league, Adrian Peterson. --- by Al Simmons at Bodog.com on October 02, 2009
