What? ::

I realize the Packers have had their troubles over the last few years in the Metrodome, but those were very different Vikings teams. So why are the Packers - the best team in football - only 6.5 point favorites over the Vikings? Come on! The 5-4 Colts are 7 point favorites over the Cowboys, the Buccaneers are 9 points favorites over the Panthers, the 4-5 Rams are 10.5 point favorites over the Bears, and the 6-3 Eagles are 11 points favorites over the 4-5 Cardinals, yet the 8-1 Packers are only 6.5 point favorites over the 2-7 Vikings? What morons came up with those odds?

UPDATE: Sure, once again the Packers make me look like an ass with my foot in my mouth. I still say the Vikings suck and that the Packers are the best team in football. Remember - back when Green Bay won the Super Bowl in '96 they lost to the Vikings in Minnesota also. The officiating was so ridiculously poor in the first quarter that I was sure the refs were paid off, but thankfully they got better after that (but still not great!) and the Packers had only themselves to blame in the end.
