Packers at Vikings picks and predictions
Prediction
Vikings 27, Packers 24
Moneyline
PASS.
While not by much, there is better value on the Vikings (-120) to cover the spread.
Against the spread
BET VIKINGS -1.5 (-110).
Minnesota has won 8 games in a row and is 7-1 at home this season. It has won 12 of its last 13 games by at least 2 points, pointing towards the fact that a win nearly guarantees a cover.
In this highly touted matchup, it will be a battle of who can get key defensive stops, and the Packers are dealing with a number of injuries to their defense, giving the Vikings the edge.
Over/Under
BET OVER 48.5 (-110).
Green Bay has scored 30 or more points in 7 of its last 10 games, including 5 straight, while allowing 17 or more in 6 of its last 9.
Minnesota has scored 27 or more points in 4 of its last 5 games and allowed 21 or more in 4 of the 5.
