NFL Betting Preview: Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay PackersMinnesota Vikings at Green Bay PackersMonday, September 8, 2008 7:00 pm Eastern - ESPN SBG Global Opening Line: Packers -3, Total 39 The Green Bay Packers will look decidedly different as they open up the 2008 regular season on Monday as long-time quarterback Brett Favre is gone and understudy Aaron Rodgers has the job. Rodgers will get a real test of what it should be like as he opens up at home against NFC North rival Minnesota. It has been Favre at quarterback since 1992 so things will definitely be different on Monday. "It's been a difficult time the last few months as far as the attention I've gotten, but I think I'm ready for it." Rodgers said, "I know it's going to be amped up once the season starts, I'm going to be scrutinized, but that's the job of being an NFL quarterback." SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Packers at Home. Rodgers has a lot of weapons at his disposal. Receivers Donald Driver and Greg Jennings had more than 900 yards last season and running back Ryan Grant finished the season spectacularly. Green Bay also had a defense that was superb, allowing only 18.2 points per game last season, second in the NFC. "I think we're going to be tough to run on, tough to pass on," defensive tackle Ryan Pickett said. "I think we'll be a top defense in the NFL."

They were the best in the NFL last season against the run but struggled against the pass. That may change this season since they signed pass rushing specialist Jared Allen. The question for Minnesota is on offense where quarterback Tarvaris Jackson has yet to play well in the regular season. The good news is that the Vikings have one of the best players in the NFL in running back Adrian Peterson who had 1,341 yards rushing while scoring 13 touchdowns last season.
