Top Vikings vs. Packers predictions
After 10,000 simulations of Vikings vs. Packers, the model is going Under 42 points at betting apps. The Under has hit in two of their last three head-to-head meetings. The Under has hit in nine of the last 10 Minnesota games and in six of the last 10 Green Bay games. It is 3-1 in the last four Packers games at Lambeau Field.
Minnesota's quarterback situation is in disarray after Carson Wentz's poor performance on Monday night. Starter Kyler Murray is recovering from a Grade 2 hamstring and is unlikely to play against Green Bay. The Vikings managed just 178 total yards and had the ball for just 17 minutes, 28 seconds against Buffalo. Minnesota is 27th in scoring this season at 18.3 points per game, while Green Bay is 12th, averaging 24 points.
The Vikings' defense, meanwhile, is tops in the league, allowing just 14.5 points per game. Green Bay is 11th in scoring defense at 21.2 points.
The model projects 40 combined points as the Under hits 56% of the time. See which team to back at SportsLine.
