PASS.
No interest. The Packers (-285) should win at home, but are too expensive to consider here.
BET VIKINGS +6.5 (-115).
The Packers are the more banged-up side, with a key linebacker and running back both nursing injuries. They have also struggled significantly to cover at home. Since Week 6 Green Bay has gone 0-3 ATS at Lambeau Field. It is 1-7 ATS in its last 8 games as well.
The Vikings haven’t won often, but they have been consistent. Minnesota has scored between 17 and 22 points in 5 of its last 7 games. While 1-4 ATS at home, it has performed well on the road, going 3-2 ATS in away games.
Considering those trends, back VIKINGS +6.5 (-115).
BET OVER 41.5 (-110).
The Vikings defense has been terrible this season. They have allowed 24 or more points in 6 of 10 games and in 4 of 5 away games. Because of that struggling unit, Minnesota is 7-3 O/U on the season.
The Packers, who have tallied at least 27 points in 5 of their last 7 games, are 4-2-1 O/U in that span. Their defense has had issues of its own, allowing at least 20 points in 3 of their last 5 performances.
Take OVER 41.5 (-110).
