Hi there! I hope you had a prosperous weekend, we here at misterfootballfanatic.blogspot.com sure did! We went a documented 4-0 ATS on Saturday, 10/3/09, finishing it off with Auburn's nationally televised/upset win at Tennessee. We went 1-1 on Sunday in the NFL, so we're 5-1 ATS this weekend! Gotta love it.

On to tonight, Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings (that still seems difficult to say) at home against the Green Bay Packers (+5) on Monday Night Football. I predict that this will be the top rated regular season game ever on TV, for sure on ESPN. It will be top five all time in regular season NFL games viewed.

On to the pick. Everyone loves Favre and the whole Minnesota story (as I do) and the money is showing that as the line is moving up. Call me old school, but I'll take GB +5 and consider parlaying that with the Over, but GB + the points is the play and here's why.

GB is 5-1 Straight up (SU) and Against the Spread (ATS) in the last six games vs Minnesota. Add to that the GB is 7-1-1 ATS the last nine times they played at Minnesota and you have a trend.

Look, I like Minnesota and their chances to get to the NFC Championship or beyond but they are not going undefeated and GB with Rodgers have something to prove (although so does Favre and the Vikings, don't you just love it?).

Can't wait to watch the game, I hope it lives up to the hype! Take GB +5 for your MNF play of the week.

Thanks for reading and please come back.
