NFL GAME OF THE MONTH (10* SIDE)
(NFL) Minnesota vs. Green Bay, 09/16/2018 9:00 AM, Score: 29 - 29
Point Spread: 2.00 | -105.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Win
The Minnesota Vikings opened the season with an easy 24-16 home win against the 49ers while the Green Bay Packers just barely beat the Bears 24-23 at home Monday night.

Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers left the game with a knee injury but returned in the second half to help the Packers come back from a 20-0 deficit.

We can however note that Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy either could not or would not say anything specific Monday regarding his starting quarterback's knee injury or his status for Week 2.

Rodgers will most likely be banged up even if he makes it to the field, and that simply can't be good against a Minnesota team which features among the best passing defenses in the league.

I like the Vikings to win this game no matter Rodgers' status.
