Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings Preview & Picks

Minnesota are tipped to cover as they win this big NFC North showdown.

The Vikings’ defense is capable of halting Green Bay’s run game, and this offense has already shown that they can hang plenty of points on this Packers unit.

  • Minnesota Vikings are 8-game win streak
  • Minnesota Vikings are 6-2-0 ATS at home this season
  • Minnesota Vikings are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games
  • The Over has cashed in 3 of the previous 4 meetings

Head To Head

  • Green Bay Packers lead the all-time series 66-59-3
  • Minnesota Vikings won 31-29 when the two teams last met on September 29

Green Bay Packers Form

Green Bay clinched their place in the playoffs with the win over New Orleans last Monday night.

The Packers split their first four games of the season, but enjoyed a great run between the start of October and end of November.

They won seven times in an eight-game spell to put themselves in a three-way race to win the NFC North, but the 24-14 loss to Detroit during that run may prove to be costly.

Green Bay lost again to the Lions at the start of this month, this time 34-31 on the road, but they did rebound the following week with a 30-13 success in Seatte.

The Packers then made it back-to-back wins and secured another trip to the postseason by beating New Orleans 34-0.

Minnesota Vikings Form

Minnesota go into this game having won eight straight to stay locked in a race for the NFC North title with Detroit.

The Vikings kicked off the season with a five-game win streak that was eventually ended by a 31-29 home defeat to division rivals Detroit.

They then responded to a 30-20 defeat at the Los Angeles Rams with a 21-13 victory over Indianapolis, which was backed up by road wins over Jacksonville, 12-7, Tennessee, 23-13, and Chicago 30-27.

Minnesota’s win streak reached seven games as they returned home to down Arizona 23-22, Atlanta 42-21 and Chicago 30-12.

The Vikings then made it eight victories in a row last weekend as they battled to a 27-24 victory over Seattle.

Verdict

Green Bay may be heading to the playoffs with Minnesota, but their NFC North record is rough.

Their only win in the division so far saw then scrape by Chicago, so we expect an in-form Vikings team to deliver a big division win at home.
