1998 Vikings 37 - 2007 Packers 17




If you face a team that was 15 - 1 IRL, and then donate not one but two long interception returns for TD's, you will have reduced your odds of winning to about none. Brett Favre did exactly that in the first half, staking the Vikes to a 27 - 10 lead, and then he went down with an injury early in the Third Quarter, leaving things in the hands of a young Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers of 2012 might almost be up to the challenge, but Aaron Rodgers of 2007 is not yet ready.

These Vikings are surprisingly vulnerable, but that doesn't mean they are an easy out - and if/when they get hot look out. The weak Packers pass defense had very little success stopping Randall Cunningham, and between that and their mistakes it was all she wrote
