Total: Over 48.5 (-110), Under 48.5 (-110)

Why the Packers Can Cover

Green Bay’s offense has been on fire, scoring 30-plus points in four consecutive games. Quarterback Jordan Love has been stellar, ranking first in yards per attempt and second in total QBR over the last five weeks.

The Packers’ defense, while not elite, has consistently created turnovers and ranks fourth in the NFL in turnover differential. This combination of offensive firepower and opportunistic defense makes Green Bay a solid opponent.

Additionally, the Packers have shown resilience in close games, and head coach Matt LaFleur has a track record of preparing his team well for late-season clashes. If the Packers’ offensive line can protect Love against Minnesota’s aggressive pass rush, they have a strong chance to pull off the upset.

Why the Vikings Can Cover

The Vikings are one of the hottest teams in the NFL, and their eight-game winning streak is a testament to their balanced roster. Sam Darnold has been efficient under center, ranking sixth in EPA per play and success rate over the last month.

Minnesota’s offense is bolstered by playmakers like Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and running back Aaron Jones, all of whom are capable of explosive plays.

Defensively, the Vikings excel in creating pressure and forcing turnovers. With 44 sacks on the season and a +10 turnover differential, they can disrupt Jordan Love and the Packers’ offense. Head coach Kevin O’Connell’s aggressive approach and Minnesota’s home-field advantage further tilt the odds in the Vikings’ favor.

Playoff Implications

This game has significant implications for the NFC playoff picture. The Vikings are currently in contention for the NFC North title, battling the Detroit Lions for the top spot.

A win against Green Bay would keep them in the race or potentially vault them into first place, depending on Detroit‘s result. For the Packers, this game is critical in securing the highest possible wild-card seed.

Next Games

Packers: The Packers will close out the season at home against the Chicago Bears in Week 18. If Green Bay wins against Minnesota, the Bears game could be a must-win to lock up a wild-card spot.

Vikings: Minnesota will face the Detroit Lions on the road in Week 18. This game could determine the NFC North champion if the Vikings handle business against Green Bay.

Packers vs Vikings Final Prediction

Both teams are playing exceptional football, and this game should live up to the billing. While Minnesota has the home-field advantage and the better turnover differential, Green Bay’s offense is firing on all cylinders. Expect a back-and-forth contest with plenty of scoring.

Ultimately, the Vikings’ ability to generate pressure and capitalize on mistakes may give them the edge.

Prediction: Vikings 30, Packers 27
Pick: Over 48.5 Points

Turning our attention to a Vikings team that's playing at "a really high level."

Why bet on Minnesota versus Green Bay?

The Vikings have already beaten the Packers this season. On Nov. 21, Minnesota upset Green Bay 34-31 as a +1 home dog. Although the line implied the Vikings had a shot at the victory, Minnesota still had to play a great game. Kirk Cousins threw for 341 yards and 3 TDs. Cousins should be in line for another big day because Dalvin Cook is probable for this.

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers Final Betting Prediction

This season’s first Minnesota versus Green Bay matchup was a terrific game. The Packers played hard, but they couldn’t stop Kirk Cousins and the Vikings’ passing attack.

Although the venue changes, the result could be the same. The Packers’ defense hasn’t played all that well in recent games.

Green Bay allowed Tyler Huntley to throw for 215 yards and 2 TDS in the Packers’ 31-30 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Then in NFL Week 16, the Packers allowed Baker Mayfield and Nick Chubb to almost rally the Browns to an upset win even though Green Bay picked off Mayfield 4 times.

Cousins and the Vikings know their lone shot of making the playoffs is to beat Green Bay and then win Week 18. Don’t expect Minnesota to lose this game. The return of Dalvin Cook will keep the Packers’ defense on their heels, which should allow Cousins to have a big day. Minnesota moneyline is the play.
