Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers Analysis
One of the biggest surprises in Week 7 was the Minnesota Vikings score against the San Francisco 49ers. Jordan Addison caught two touchdowns and made up for the loss of Justin Jefferson in a big one. Jefferson, who still leads the team with 571 receiving yards, will remain on the NFL Injury report for this game.
Kirk Cousins is putting together a good season. When taking a look at his NFL Player Stats, he is one of the leaders in passing yards, with nearly 2,100 on the season. He also has 16 touchdown passes. The run game is where the struggles hit for Minnesota.
Alexander Mattison has yet to score a touchdown on the ground, so his NFL MVP odds are almost non-existent.
Green Bay’s Quarterback Transition
The Green Bay Packers have seen their share of struggles. It’s the first season for Jordan Love as the starting quarterback. When looking at his NFL Player Stats, he has thrown seven interceptions in six games. Love has thrown ten touchdown passes, with four of them coming to Romeo Doubs.
The run game for the Packers has also been miserable. AJ Dillon has just one touchdown run on the season. Green Bay ranks 24th with 90.8 yards per game. Looking at the NFL team stats, the Packers are 1-1 at home this season, with a win over the Saints and a loss to the Lions.
This is the first of back-to-back home games for the Packers. Next week, Sean McVay and his Los Angeles Rams will come to town.
Vikings vs. Packers Betting Picks
There really is no good reason the Green Bay Packers should be favorites in this game. Sure, the Vikings have shown they can lose a game in nearly any and every way possible. But, the Vikings are the better team.
The Packers are not playing good football right now. Their offense is not clicking, and the defense is not good enough to carry them. The oddsmakers have this game wrong.
The Minnesota Vikings are going to win this game. The bet for this game is the Vikings moneyline. Take Minnesota at +100 over the Packers on Sunday. That is our Vikings vs Packers betting picks.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers Prediction
The final score prediction for this game is going to include the Minnesota Vikings being able to score points. Jordan Addison was a main man for Minnesota, and TJ Hockenson is still tough to take down.
The Vikings score four touchdowns and win this game 28-20 over the Green Bay Packers. Enjoy the game, and best of luck with your NFL Predictions!
