There has been a question surrounding the Minnesota Vikings all week long, as it involves who was going to make the start at quarterback as the team plays host to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. Sam Bradford came from the Philadelphia Eagles with a heavy price, as Minnesota dealt a first-rounder and a fourth-rounder to the Eagles in exchange for him. That was the length this team was willing to go to replace Teddy Bridgewater, the up-and-coming quarterback who made it to the Pro Bowl last season but injured his knee and will be out for the duration. The Vikings and the Packers will square off at 8:30 PM ET in the first regular-season game at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, which is considered to be perhaps the loudest stadium in the NFL, due to its architecture. And as far as architecture is concerned, BetAnySports Asian American bettors customers can enjoy great sportsbook action in a user-friendly atmosphere, not to mention no-download Asian casino play, with deposits available in Bitcoin and the ability to continue the action even after the opening kickoff through the phenomenon known as Live Betting Ultra.

The Packers were favored on the road last week and got themselves a real game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but were able to hold off the Jags by a 27-23 score. You cannot say all that much about the explosiveness of the offense, because Aaron Rogers averaged less than six yards per pass attempt. But he went without a turnover, and that was a huge positive. When things really come together, we will probably see the Green Bay offense of old, or some semblance of it. But for Rodgers to be able to stretch opposing defenses, he will have to be able to fully exploit Jordy Nelson, who missed all of last season with a knee injury. Nelson played last week and caught six passes, but for only 32 yards.

The Vikings were hurting psychologically, as Bitcoin sportsbook customers are well aware. That’s because Bridgewater was a very popular player in the locker room, and was becoming an acknowledged leader on the field. Shaun Hill is a veteran backup, having played 16 seasons in the NFL, and he made the start last week, completing 18 out of 33 passes. But Minnesota did not score an offensive touchdown; rather, they got a 77-yard interception return from Eric Kendricks and a 24-yard fumble return by Danielle Hunter in the 25-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans, in a game where they were down 10-0 at the half. This is why Bradford has been taking a crash course in the offense during the week. As BetAnySports Asian casino patrons probably know, Bradford was a Heisman Trophy winner, #1 overall draft choice and rookie of the yea with the Rams, but has seen his career derailed by knee injuries. Last season he was the starter for Philadelphia, as expecting to be there again this season, with new coach Doug Pederson coming in.

Regardless of who is taking the snaps under center, one player who has to loom very important is Adrian Peterson, one of the great running backs in the NFL, who had only 31 yards on 19 carries against Tennessee. There is no getting around the fact that the offense must revolve around this superstar if Minnesota is to repeat as NFC North champions, and don’t think the Packers forget what happened in the regular-season finale last year, as the Vikings scored a 20-13 victory at Lambeau Field to capture the division crown.
