Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay Packers expert picks
We have 2 NFL picks for this week’s clash between the Vikings and Packers. Let’s take a look.
Point spread pick: Vikings +3 (-110) over Packers
The fact that they can play spoiler to the rival Packers’ postseason bid should be reason enough for the Vikings to keep their foot on the gas even though they have already clinched the division. Of course, they still have a chance to earn a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs as the #1 seed, so you know the visitors will be going all out in this one. Minnesota continues to be doubted by the sportsbooks as a 3-point underdog against an opponent with a losing record. This team may be far from dominant, but it sure knows how to get the job done in close game and catching a field goal in what projects to be yet another close game provides great value. The Kirk Cousins-to-Justin Jefferson connection is a well-oiled machine and now they face a Packers defense that has allowed the 6th-most passing yards per attempt in the NFL. Let’s go with Minnesota plus the points.

Vikings vs Packers over/under totals pick: Under 47.5 (-110
The Packers have won 3 in a row, but it’s not like they are suddenly some kind of offensive juggernaut. Two of those 3 victories have come against the hapless Bears and Rams, while the other at the Dolphins’ expense was largely due to Tua Tagovailoa playing while injured. Aaron Rodgers is still a shadow of his former self, at least from a statistical standpoint. Rodgers has been building a decent rapport with his young receivers throughout the second half of the season, but there’s still a little to be desired among the group and the Vikings should be capable of frustrating the offense. Meanwhile, Green Bay’s defense has been much improved lately; it has held opponents to 20 points or fewer in each of their last 3 games. This is a sizable number, so the under is the play.
