Favre will play a series or two Sunday night, much to the delight of NBC’s Sunday Night Football. The ratings will surely go through the roof, making this one of the top rated preseason games.

The Vikings won their preseason opener last Saturday, 28-7 at St. Louis. Nobody knew the status of Favre at that point and Tarvaris Jackson was limited to one series. It will be interesting to see how Jackson plays from here on out as he has to be disappointed about losing his starter role once again.

Jackson didn’t do much against St. Louis, but the backup (now third stringer) Sage Rosenfels did. Rosenfels went 23-of-34 for 310 yards and three touchdowns. He’s proving he’s too good to be a third stringer and could be traded soon.

San Francisco won its opener as well, 37-17 at Indianapolis. However, Indy was winning 10-0 before Peyton Manning left the game and the 49ers took advantage of the ineptitude of backup Curtis Painter (three interceptions).

The 49ers have their own quarterback issues. Alex Smith is clearly the No. 1, but he had a 7.4 quarterback rating and was 3-of-9 for 37 yards and an interception. David Carr is the backup, but Smith has to play well for the team to justify heavy -130 odds to win the NFC West.

The rest of the division odds are Arizona (+200), Seattle (+350) and St. Louis (+2500). The expectations are high in the Bay Area as the favorite and San Francisco should come out with a good game on Sunday.
