GREEN BAY Cheap Patrick Omameh Jersey , Wis. (AP) If the Minnesota Vikings have their way, they won’t have to take another road trip after this weekend, even in the playoffs.

For an opportunity for that to happen, the NFC North champions need to finish out the last two weeks of the regular season with victories over division rivals already out of the playoff picture .

The payoff could be sweet for the Vikings if they can safely navigate the postseason all the way to February – a Super Bowl played in front of hometown fans at U.S. Bank Stadium.

There is something to play for after all when Minnesota visits the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night.

”The only thing I’ve really told them is we’d like this to be the last plane trip that we have to take, but that’s about the only thing I’ve said,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said.

The Vikings (11-3) head into the second-to-final week of the season having already assured themselves of a home playoff game.

Minnesota wraps up the regular season with a winnable home game against the Chicago Bears on New Year’s Eve, while the Eagles finish with home games against the Raiders and Cowboys.

But Philadelphia is also adjusting to backup quarterback Nick Foles Cheap Dwayne Allen Jersey , who will start the rest of the year with starter Carson Wentz out with a knee injury.

Green Bay (7-7) is handing the offense back to backup Brett Hundley after quarterback Aaron Rodgers went on season-ending injured reserve this week.

It was a decision that coach Mike McCarthy said was made in the best interest of Rodgers, who wasn’t completely healed from a collarbone injury.

With the Packers out of the playoffs , it didn’t make sense to further risk the health of their franchise quarterback, who was hurt the previous time these teams met in Week 6 in Minneapolis.

There have been gradual signs of improvement from Hundley since he was thrust into the starting job after Rodgers went down.

”I know for as many things that went wrong that day, he felt like he got better,” McCarthy said. ”But he’ll be much better prepared for this opportunity.”

The Vikings, of all teams http://www.pittsburghsteelersteamstore.com/terrell-edmunds-jersey , know full well how much a backup quarterback can succeed.

Subbing for the injured Sam Bradford, quarterback Case Keenum has kept the Vikings rolling with a 9-3 record in his starts. Keenum has completed 68 percent of his passes, with 20 touchdowns, seven interceptions and a career-best 98.9 passer rating.

Not bad for a player once considered a journeyman who first entered the league in 2012 as an undrafted free agent with the Houston Texans.

”Case has done an unbelievable job,” Zimmer said. ”I think the more he’s played, the more confident he’s been with making the correct decisions.”

SPOILING IT: Out of the playoffs for the first time in eight years, the Packers were a little subdued in the locker room this week. They’re not used to playing games in late December that don’t have postseason implications for themselves.

But don’t call them ”spoilers.”

”I’m not really interested in being a spoiler or an underdog. We’re the Green Bay Packers. That doesn’t change http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/jessie-bates-iii-jersey ,” McCarthy said. ”I fully expect and demand that our team goes out to win the game.”

EYES ON BARR: Don’t expect a warm welcome from Packers fans for Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr on Saturday night. Rodgers’ season nearly ended after landing on his right shoulder following a hard hit outside the pocket from Barr in Week 6.

”It’s inevitable. Aaron Rodgers is to Green Bay what LeBron is to Cleveland,” Barr said . ”You’re responsible in a way for their guy going down, you’re going to take some heat. It just comes with the territory.”

ADAMS OUT: Receiver Davante Adams seems to be OK after being spotted walking in the Packers locker room and chatting with teammates this week following a blindside hit from Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis last week that put Adams in the concussion protocol.

But Adams, who is still in the concussion protocol, won’t play this week to deprive the offense of its top receiving threat this season. Adams, who has 10 touchdown catches, has developed the kind of rapport with Hundley that fellow receiver Jordy Nelson has with Rodgers.

THIELEN IT: Packers cornerback Davon House (shoulder/back) returned to practice and was listed as questionable for Minnesota after missing the loss to Carolina. Getting the veteran back could help an already shaky and injury-depleted cornerback group that has to contend with speedy receiver Stefon Diggs and first-time Pro Bowler Adam Thielen (83 catches http://www.houstontexansteamonline.com/martinas-rankin-jersey , 1,191 yards).

HEAT ON DEFENSE: The Packers are hurting at outside linebacker, where Clay Matthews (hamstring) is questionable and Nick Perry (ankle/shoulder) is doubtful after both players missed practice at midweek. Not having either starter on Saturday would further deplete a defense that already had issues generating a consistent pass rush off the edge. The run defense has trailed off too of late.

”Broad question, short answer,” McCarthy said. ”We need to play better on defense.”

The China Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Chinese and global real estate markets, including China house prices, global house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a global house price crash or China house price crash. Is there a Chinese housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is it better to buy using a home loan, or rent and save the difference? How might a credit crunch or peak debt environment impact Chinese property prices? Is the Chinese property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices rise forever as people bet on future gains, refinance their mortgage and borrow against equity, or can we find a more sustainable long term approach to managing the Chinese housing market? These are the type of questions we hope to address here, at the China Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators!
