The Minnesota Vikings (3-4) started the season with three straight losses, falling to Tampa Bay, Philadelphia and the Chargers – but only by a combined margin of ten points. Since then, they have gone 3-1, losing to Kansas City but beating Carolina, Chicago and San Francisco. The largest margin of any game they’ve played so far has been their eight-point win in Carolina in Week 4. This week they head to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers (2-4), who started the season with an impressive 18-point win over the Chicago Bears but who have struggled mightily since then. They lost in Atlanta by one and then returned home to face the Saints in Week 3; the Saints led 17-0 at halftime, but they squandered that lead as the Pack came back to win by one. Since then, it’s been nothing but losses to Detroit, Las Vegas, and Denver. Both teams are inconsistent, but even though the Packers are on that three-game skid, the sports betting establishment has them favored by a point. Read on to find the game preview between Vikings vs Packers.

Why should you bet on the Minnesota Vikings?
The Vikings have been a solid road team over the past season, winning 7 of 10 away from U.S. Bank Stadium. Kirk Cousins has managed ball security fairly well, with a 14:4 TD:INT ratio, completing 67.2% of his passes. Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson have caught five touchdowns between them while picking up 875 receiving yards. Jefferson, however, is on IR for at least two more weeks, which means that Jordan Addison will need to step up. Last week, he caught three passes on five targets for 28 yards and a score. K.J. Osborn also got five targets, catching four passes for 48 yards.
After home wins, the Vikings have had a way of letting up. In the last 13 games in which they followed up home wins as the underdog, they have lost each time straight up and against the spread. As road underdogs, they have lost the first half in six straight games. However, they have scored the first touchdown in six of their last seven contests against NFC foes. They know the Packers well, and their defense slowed down the 49ers last week.

Why should you put your money on the Green Bay Packers?
Lambeau Field has not been the dominant home field that the Packers expect as of late, as Green Bay is just 4-4 in their last eight games in front of their home fans. Against the Vikings, the Packers have had an edge, though, scoring the first touchdown in five straight games against Minnesota at Lambeau.
Jordan Love has an iffy 10:7 TD:INT ratio with a 57.5% completion rate, well below the average NFL level. Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs have combined to catch seven touchdown passes and pick up 489 receiving yards, but the team could benefit from more talent at the wide receiver position. The running game only picks up 90.8 yards per game as Aaron Jones’ hamstring issues have kept him from his normally dominant running style. A.J. Dillon currently leads the team with 255 rushing yards. The defense has been decent, permitting just 22 points per game behind 56 tackles from Quay Walker, but the offense needs to do more.

Vikings vs Packers Final Score and Prediction
Minnesota has played better than Green Bay in recent weeks, and while the Vikings have had some crazy-bad luck play out at Lambeau, Aaron Rodgers is no longer there to lead another last-minute comeback. I see the Vikings managing the Green Bay offense and getting enough in the passing game to win, 24-20.
