The Green Bay Packers (8-2) look to bury their closest divisional competition when they visit the Minnesota Vikings (4-5) at 1 p.m. ET Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. Below, we look at the Packers vs. Vikings odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
The Packers are currently the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Their only loss of the season following a Week 1 defeat came when QB Aaron Rodgers was on the COVID-19 reserve list during a Week 9 loss at the Kansas City Chiefs. However, the Packers have some key injuries that are concerning and even Rodgers has only practiced once this week on a limited basis with a toe injury.
The Vikings, on the other hand, have several of their star defensive players – LB Anthony Barr, CB Patrick Peterson and SS Harrison Smith – coming back from being sidelined and are going to be at as full strength. The timing couldn’t be better.

Packers at Vikings odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Vikings 27, Packers 24
Money line
Since 2015, the Packers are just 5-6-1 against the Vikings, including 2-3 on the road. There are a lot of people jumping on the Packers here, but it seems like every time Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer and GM Rick Spielman are on the hot seat, Minnesota comes away with a signature win. The injuries to Jones and Bakhtiari are important because both are so critical to Green Bay’s offense. You may be the lone wolf in your pack, but BET VIKINGS (-105).
Against the spread
PASS since we’re backing the Vikings’ money line at -105.
Over/Under
The Vikings offense has been hitting its stride, scoring 27 or more points in three of their last four games. Any time you have Rodgers on the other side of the ball, his ability to make plays to get his team instantly into scoring position lends itself to scoring points.
There will be no outside weather influences in this game, so both offenses are likely to be in attack mode. I wouldn’t have been shocked to see this line two or three points higher. TAKE THE OVER 47.5 (-105)
