Vikings Looking for Home-Field Advantage Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings Football

Packers Hope to Throw Monkey Wrench in Vikings Plans



NFC North rivals meet again on Saturday when the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers meet at Lambeau Field. The game kicks off around 8:25 pm EST and NBC Sports and the NFL Network will have coverage.

Oddsmakers have the Vikings as 9-point favorites. The total is sitting at 41. The weather is going to be brutal cold. The predicted low is 1-degree.

The Vikings have clinched the division title. They are far from done though, as they have an eye on securing a first-round bye and maybe earning home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

The Packers are out of the playoff picture. Aaron Rodgers is back on injured reserve after throwing three interceptions in a killer loss at Carolina last week. It was his first game back after his right collarbone was broken during a loss at Minnesota in Week 6.

Hundley Back Under Center for Pack Against Vikings



Last time out for Green Bay, they were a 31-24 loser as they battled the Carolina Panthers on the road. The Packers failed to cover in the match as a +2.5-point underdog, while 55 combined points moved the game OVER for totals bettors.

Brett Hundley will face an enormous challenge against Minnesota's powerful defense. The Vikings rank second in the NFL in total defense and scoring defense. Defensive end Everson Griffen, has 13 sacks. Anthony Barr and cornerback Xavier Rhodes were chosen to the Pro Bowl team on Tuesday.

Green Bay's defense relies on big plays that happen way too infrequently. The Packers kept their season alive by scoring a defensive touchdown in the OT win against Tampa Bay. They also forced an interception in overtime to win at Cleveland.

At Carolina, however, the Packers failed to force any turnovers. The squad gave up four touchdown passes to Cam Newton and a season-worst 29 first downs.

Green Bay is No. 30 in opponent passer rating at 100.5. They are No. 31 in opponent completion percentage, giving up 68.4. Vikings quarterback Case Keenum is No. 8 in rating at 98.9 and No. 2 in completion percentage with a 67.9%.

Minnesota was a 34-7 winner in its last match at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. They covered the -12.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 41 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.
