MIAMI (AFP) - For the second time this season Brett Favre will face his former team turned foe, but if you thought the atmosphere in Minnesota was super charged wait until he goes against a scorned fan base in Green Bay.

Favre's former Packers welcome the his new team the Minnesota Vikings to Lambeau Field for one of 12 National Football League games on Sunday.

Favre, who led Green Bay to the playoffs in 11 of 16 seasons, signed a two-year, 25 million dollar free agent deal with Minnesota in August, setting up the monumental homecoming.

Adding fuel to the fire for unhappy Packers fans is that the 40-year-old Favre is already 1-0 against his former team, having powered the Vikings to a 30-23 win in Minneapolis four weeks ago.

Green Bay receiver Donald Driver predicts that Favre will get a cold reception.

"They'll probably boo him," said Driver, a teammate of Favre's for nine seasons. "It'll be funny. I want to see the expression on his face."

Favre was 24-of-31 passing for 271 yards with three touchdowns in a game that made him the league's first quarterback to defeat all 32 NFL teams.

"I think it's very critical to cause some havoc," Packers inside linebacker Nick Barnett said. "We can't let Brett sit back there and have enough time."

Favre's renaissance continued during the team's climb to 6-0, but the first stumble came in last week's 27-17 loss to the Steelers.

The Packers however are coming off a 31-3 pounding of the hapless Cleveland Browns last week.

Part of the reason Favre was expendable in Green Bay was so the team could make room for rising star Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers completed 15-of-20 passes for 246 yards and three touchdowns in the win over the Browns.

No matter what he might say publicly, this is one game that Favre will want as much as any in his career. A win at Lambeau Field against the franchise that decided cut him loose would be vindication for Favre.

The undefeated Denver Broncos will battle the Baltimore Ravens in matchup between two teams that are coming off their bye weeks.

The Broncos have the top ranked defence in the league and a quarterback in Kyle Orton who knows how to get the best out of his teammates.

"It doesn't get any better for football," Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis said. "There are a couple teams left undefeated.

"I'm OK with not being undefeated, because I want to do some other things. Those guys are in a great position right now. The bottom line is, the Broncos are playing very sound football right now. They have a reason to be undefeated."

Denver's defence has allowed an NFL-low 66 points, including just 10 in the second half. Denver has given up only five touchdowns in 66 possessions.

The Ravens know what that is like because the Broncos defence coach Mike Nolan, who held the same job with Baltimore earlier this decade.

"Mike's a very good communicator," Denver's rookie head coach Josh McDaniels said. "I think that's very important for every coach, and Mike certainly has the great ability to get his players to understand what he's asking them to do and then get it out of them. He's very intelligent."

Nolan's defence has been aided by an offence powered by quarterback Orton, who has thrown nine touchdown passes and only one interception. Orton's superb play has enabled the Broncos to compile a 6-0 record.
