Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay Packers is a NFC North rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. This projects as a coin flip, 47-53 with the spread at GB -0.5. Only 4 spots separate them in the power rankings, about as even as it gets.
Tactically, Minnesota Vikings will want to lean on best WR in football to attack Green Bay Packers, whose red-zone offense is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Green Bay Packers's ballhawk safety could punish Minnesota Vikings if run game goes unaddressed. It is the kind of trade-off decided in the margins: third down, the trenches, and the turnover battle.
Keep an eye on J.J. McCarthy (QB) and Jordan Love (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Vikings get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
