This Monday night is the game everybody has been waiting for. It's Brett Favre against his former team. It's Favre's Vikings against the rival Packers.

The question is will Favre exact revenge on the Packers, or will the Packers get revenge on Favre? Nobody thought this would ever happen a few years ago when Favre was jumping around like a teenager and having fun during the Packers' magical season.

This game will live up to the hype. You might as well call it "Monday Night Favre." Who shall prevail? On to the week four predictions:

 DET@CHI

 Prediction: DET 10 CHI 21

The Lions are still a laughing stock for going winless last year, but they got the monkey of their back after finally winning last week against the hapless Redskins.

They are due for a letdown since Kevin Smith is a game-time decision to play and their offense can't match that of the Bears. This will be Matt Forte's coming out party. Play all your Bears and only Calvin Johnson and maybe Bryant Johnson for the Lions.

Boom: All Bears, Calvin Johnson, Bryant Johnson

Bust: All other Lions

 CIN@CLE

 Prediction: CIN 27 CLE 17

The battle of Ohio doesn't look like much of a battle on paper since the Browns are winless. But they will show enough fight to compete this week. The switch to Derek Anderson will help the Browns and especially Braylon Edwards. Jerome Harrison is a sleeper because Jamal Lewis is out and James Davis is done for the year.

 Boom: All Bengals, Braylon Edwards, Jerome Harrison

 Bust: All other Browns

 SEA@IND

 Prediction: SEA 14 IND 31

 The Seahawks will be without Matt Hasselbeck once again, and this limits their offense. The Colts look like a powerhouse once again, so expect them to roll. I'd play all Colts and only Nate Burleson and John Carlson for the Seahawks.

 Boom: All Colts, Nate Burleson, John Carlson

 Bust: T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Julius Jones

 NYG@KC

 Prediction: NYG 31 KC 17
