McCarthy<\/a> is expected to play after recovering from an injury.<\/p>\n Clayton Tune has little NFL experience, and I\u2019m not exactly expecting him to light it up offensively. McCarthy hasn\u2019t played in a couple of weeks as well, and he\u2019s been relatively inconsistent when available.<\/p>\n Both starting running backs are also sidelined, as Josh Jacobs and Aaron Jones are injured. Hammer the Under here.\u00a0<\/p>\n Packers vs Vikings same-game parlay<\/p>\n McCarthy has finished Under his passing yards total in four of his last five contests. Last time out, he threw for just 108 yards despite the Vikings still earning the win.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Justin Jefferson<\/a> has struggled to find chemistry with McCarthy this season, and the numbers reflect that. While he\u2019s on the verge of another 1,000-yard campaign, the star wideout has just two touchdowns and hasn\u2019t been heavily involved of late.<\/p>\n Jefferson has also hit the Under on his receiving yards in four of his last five appearances. On Christmas, he managed only four catches for 30 yards and has totaled just two receptions in three of his past five games.<\/p>\n Packers vs Vikings SGP<\/p>\n J.J.
