News and Notes
Nov 4 QB Brett Favre posted some impressive numbers against the Packers this season. Going against the franchise for which he played 16 seasons, the quarterback threw for 515 yards with seven touchdowns, no interceptions and he wasn't sacked once. Yahoo! Sports

Nov 2 Favre completed 17 of 28 passes for 244 yards and four touchdowns without an interception, slicing up his former team and sticking it to the franchise that cast him aside as the Minnesota Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers 38-26 at Lambeau Field on Sunday.

Advice: Favre has looked like an entirely different QB under center this season than the injured one who ruined the New York Jets' chances of making the playoffs in 2008. His 106.0 QB rating is fourth in the league, he's seventh in yards and is tied for the lead in touchdowns, leaving many to believe he's an MVP candidate.

Nov 2 Favre hurt his groin in practice last week on Wednesday and aggravated the injury during Sunday's game, Peter King of Sports Illustrated reports. "I think I'll be fine," Favre said.

Recommendation: Favre was on last week's injury report for a hip injury and not a groin injury, so this was a new development. The Vikings have a bye this week, so the groin shouldn't be an issue for Week 10 and it didn't look like a problem during Sunday's win.
