Vikings vs Packers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Vikings listed as a 3 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Vikings have looked good in their games this season with their 6-2 record overall, but that record has them near the bottom of the NFC North. They have been a good road team though with their 3-1 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Packers have looked good in their games this season with their 6-3 record overall, but that record has them right at the bottom of the NFC North. They have looked good on their home field though with their 3-1 home record this season. The Packers are coming off a 45-27 win over the Patriots in their last one and they have been rolling lately. Jordan Love has looked great with this offense being in a groove at the moment, but they still don't have a great rushing attack and now they are down to their 3rd string RB. They do have a good defense, but so does their opponent and the Packers already had a lot of trouble against this defense earlier this season when they lost 39-22. The Vikings have one of the best defenses in the NFL and they have been doing a lot of the heavy lifting for this team all season. They have had one of the worst offenses in the NFL this year and they have been winning games in spite of that, but now they have lost 2 games in a row. They are coming off a 23-6 loss to the Bills in their last one and their offense has been a big issue in their last 2 games, but they addressed that issue at the trade deadline by acquiring Kirk Cousins. Cousins is familiar enough with this system to start in this game and he will be a big improvement as the Vikings do have a ton of talent on offense. Look for this Vikings offense to transform itself with Cousins while the defense does the rest. The best way to place a bet here is on the Vikings to cover the spread in this game.
