Spread:Packers-3(-110); Vikings+3(-110)Over/Under:47.5Moneyline:Packers-175; Vikings+145In the preseason look-ahead lines, Green Bay sat as 5.5-point home favorites, which was a fair spread given the Packers were the odds-on favorites to win the NFC North. The Packers later re-opened as 2.5-point home favorites and have been bet up to three-point home chalk. The total has seen some OVER money come in since opening at 44.5, which makes sense given Minnesota's defensive woes coupled with Green Bay's offense picking up steam. The Packers lead the all- Kareem Hunt Jersey time series over the Vikings 64-57-3. The Vikings have won three of the past four meetings against the Packers, most recently notching a comfortable 23-7 home win back in Week 1. Green Bay's last win over Minnesota came in Week 17 of last season in a 37-10 rout. Minnesota had some tough luck in that one, as Kirk Cousins was ruled out with COVID, thrusting Sean Mannion into starting duties. -- Minnesota's past five games have all gone OVER the closing total, as its reliable offense coupled with its suspect defense is a perfect recipe for high-scoring games.- Despite sporting a 4-2 straight up record over the past six games, the Vikings have gone just 2-4 ATS during that stretch. The most Minnesota was favored by in those six games was just 4.5 points (Week 16 versus NYG), as it's been unable to cover shorter numbers.-- According to , "Matt LaFleur is 25-9 straight up vs. poor pa sing defenses that allow a completion percentage 61 percent or worse in the second half of the season while coaching Green Bay." The Justin Jefferson experienceIn Minnesota's Week 16 victory, Justin Jefferson became the franchise's single-season leader in receiving yards (1,756) and receptions (123), pa sing Randy Mo s and Chris Carter, respectively. Along with being the Vikings' single-season receiving leader, Jefferson's been the most efficient WR this year in terms of EPA added (+103.2 EPA) while garnering 25 red-zone targets (first among WRs). Jefferson's historic 2022 season got off to a blazing start with a nine-catch, 184-yard, two-TD showing against Green Bay in Week 1. Antonio Callaway Jersey Can he duplicate that outing this go 'round?Minnesota's pa s defenseTo say that the Vikings' pa s defense has struggled this season is an understatement. Entering Week 17, the Vikings have allowed an NFL-worst 281.5 pa sing yards per game. While some of that number can be chalked up to opponents employing pa s-heavy game scripts while playing from behind (see Mac Jones, Mike White, and Daniel Jones throwing for 382, 369, and 334 yards, respectively), it's still a red flag for a team that will likely enter the playoffs as a top-two seed in the NFC. Aaron Rodgers' play has elevated over the second half of the season, sporting the 10th-highest adjusted EPA/play since Week 9 Britton Colquitt Jersey (0.094). Will he notch his first 300-yard game of the season this week?Green Bay's offensive line in pa s protectionIn Green Bay's Week 1 lo s to Minnesota, the Packers allowed a season-high four sacks, as Minnesota's defensive line had the upper hand that day. Despite a tough showing in Week 1, the Packers' offensive line has been relatively stable this season, allowing the seventh-lowest (5.8 percent). If Green Bay can give Rodgers a consistently clean pocket, it should result in an effective offensive showing against a lackluster Vikings' pa s defense. 11-0. Joe Schobert Jersey That's the Vikings' record in one-score games this season. for most one-score wins (11) in their 27-24 win over the Giants this past Saturday. While their resilienceand ability to pull out close wins are impre sive, it's clear that Minnesota has gotten some good fortune. It's unlikely the Vikings maintain a perfect record in one-score games this season, but regardle s, it's cool to be on the right side of history. Minnesota's done a phenomenal job under Kevin O'Connell to win the NFC North for the first time since 2017, but it's fairly fortunate to enter Week 17 with a 12-3 record. All three of the Vikings' lo ses this season have come in games in which they were underdogs, and we feel the betting market has correctly priced Green Bay as the favorite in this matchup. Green Bay's ability to give Rodgers a clean pocket coupled with its pa s defense doing enough to limit big plays from Minnesota results in the Packers keeping their wild-card hopes alive with a home win.PREDICTION: Packers27, Vikings 23.Green Bay (-3) covers the spread with the game going OVER the total (47.5).
