The opening lines from Tipico Sportsbook had the Green Bay Packers as a 1.5 point favorite over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday.
Throughout the week, the line hadn’t shifted much at all. Oddsmakers really believed that the Packers were a 4.5 point favorite on a neutral field.
Overnight, things shifted completely in favor of the Vikings as the Packers are projected to be without wide receiver Allen Lazard and their top-two offensive lineman David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins.
The #Packers are expected to be without LT David Bakhtiari (knee), RT Elgton Jenkins (pectoral/knee) and WR Allen Lazard (ankle) today against the #Vikings, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
Yosh Nijman slated to start in Bakhtiari’s place on Aaron Rodgers’ blind side.

With both Jenkins and Bakhtiari out for the game, it should make things a lot easier for the Vikings pass rushers Danielle Hunter and Za’Darius Smith.
