Mike, that was pure II comedy genius where you put Aaron from Madison, WI’s submission and answer at in yesterday’s Inbox. Nicely done!
We like to keep it light around here…usually.

As of Nov. 21, 2025, the Green Bay Packers lead the all-time series against the Minnesota Vikings with a record of 66 wins, 60 losses, and 3 ties, including playoffs. What is the key to the Packers taking advantage of a struggling Vikings offense and protecting their home turf at Lambeau Field against their division rival?
I thought Spoff banged this one out of the park on “Final Thoughts.” The biggest key to this game is tying up the loose ends from last week. Green Bay’s pass-catchers need to bring down Jordan Love’s passes and the defense must capitalize on any mistakes J.J. McCarthy makes with the football. The Packers are favored for a reason in this one. They gotta play like it Sunday.

Which player, if available, could tilt the field in the Packers’ favor?
Jayden Reed. You want to talk about a pleasant surprise on Friday. The Packers’ third-year receiver is now on the clock for a return from injured reserve after practicing on Friday. The Packers have what they need and room for more activations from the reserve lists. With Reed’s return to practice, the Packers still have five IR activations at their disposal for the rest of the season. MarShawn Lloyd and Jacob Monk were placed on IR during final cuts, requiring Green Bay to designate them to return at that time.

I’m rooting for Sean Rhyan to grab the center spot and not let go. Do you think he might have some of the ol’ Frankie “Bag O’ Donuts” Winters, um, determination in him?
I also like that nothing has been given to Rhyan, either. Every snap he’s taken for Green Bay has been hard-earned. Whatever Rhyan’s future holds, he has half a season to show the Packers and the rest of the NFL what he’s all about.

Good morning, Wes. With a rivalry game on deck and both teams fighting for position, what’s the one matchup in Sunday’s Packers-Vikings showdown that isn’t getting enough attention but could swing the whole afternoon?
Rhyan and Javon Hargrave. The Packers’ new center has been thrown into the proverbial fire when it comes to premier nose tackles in this league after having to fend off Dexter Lawrence last Sunday.

The Packers have been through a lot this season with injuries, heartbreaking losses, and inspiring wins. They are hardened for the stretch run and will beat the Vikings. Reasons to believe: 1) Our QB is better than theirs. J.J. McCarthy will improve, but he’s not there yet. 2) Lambeau Field in November hosting a dome team? Advantage GB. 3) The Packers D has allowed an average of 16 points/game at Lambeau, with a high of 20. 4) Crowd noise will aid this stout Packers D causing penalties. GPG!
I feel like it’s gonna set the tone for this barrage of NFC North games over the next seven weeks. The Packers also want to wash the bad taste from their mouth of losing to Minnesota twice last year. Lastly, it’s a chance to stay near the top of the division while pushing the Vikings further out of contention. This is a big one.

Wes: I loved the formation with Josh Jacobs and Josh Whyle as the FB-HB. I would like to see more of it either running the football or play-action. Your expertise thoughts await! Thank you.
That position has been an emphasis in Matt LaFleur’s offense whether it was Josiah Deguara, Dominique Dafney or Danny Vitale. What excites me most about Whyle’s utilization is the size/speed component. Once Whyle picks up the system, there’s a lot Green Bay can do with him. It’s not like this is a random guy the Packers signed to their practice squad at the beginning of the year. Green Bay brought him in for a top 30 visit before Tennessee drafted Whyle. There’s a skill set there the Packers really like.
