Prediction
This is the marquee matchup of the day in the NFL featuring these NFC north rivals. The first meeting this season was wild. Minnesota led 28-0 before holding on for a 31-29 win. Since then, the Green Bay defense has been terrific, and slightly better than Minnesota’s. They’ve allowed 27 points or less, including 20 points or less seven times since then with the exception of the Detroit game. The Packers are also one of the few teams ranked in the top 10 in both total offense and total defense. The offense has scored at least 30 points in 5 straight games and they have covered the spread in all 5 of those. Minnesota has been playing with fire lately, beating Jacksonville by just 5, the Bears by 3, Arizona by 1 and Seattle by 3. Green bay is way better than all of those teams. I think the Packers get it done this week and I’ll take them over the Vikings.
Pick: Packers +1
