The decision to shut down Aaron Rodgers was a proper one by Green Bay management. Earlier this season against the Vikings, backup QB Brett Hundley was confused to the point that coach Mike McCarthy oversimplified the play calls. Look for the Vikings to capitalize again defensively, and shore up their offense before the playoffs.

With the Packers eliminated and Aaron Rodgers subsequently placed on IR, the Vikings are predictably massive favorites. After all, the Packers are just going to lay back and let themselves get blown out at home, right? I highly doubt it. Brett Hundley has improved as he's gotten more comfortable in the offense, and he's playing to prove he can start for an NFL team down the road. The Vikings have won by this margin on the road just once this year (in Cleveland), and they won by just 13 at home against this team after Aaron Rodgers was lost early and Hundley was forced into action. In Green Bay, this figures to be a closer game than anticipated.
