The Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers are vicious rivals that are separated by just a few hours.  Green Bay has the overall advantage in the series with a record of 66-59-3.  Their last six contests, however, have resulted in three wins for each side.

Cris Carter, a Vikings legend, believes one of the wide receivers he played against should be in the Hall of Fame.
