Vikings in Need of Win over Rivals

The Vikings have now lost four of their last five games following Sunday's loss to the Bears. Their solid 3-2 start feels all but lost as Minnesota now sits in last place in the NFC North at 4-6. Still, they aren't out of postseason contention just yet. Needing to avoid taking their 7th loss, the Vikings will aim to improve on their 2-1 road record with challenging upcoming trips to Green Bay and Seattle to close out November.

Packers Eye Up Division's Top Spot

Green Bay got back into the win column last week against the Giants, get a much needed win to improve to 3-1-1 on the road. Seeking their first win in front of their home crowd since early October, the Packers will look to add to their offensive momentum. QB Jordan Love had a a solid bounce back performance in Sunday's win, completing 13 of 24 passes for 174 yards and 2 TDs. He will aim to build on that this week.

Vikings vs Packers NFL Pick

The Vikings have struggled on offense for much of the season, which puts them in a tough spot against Green Bay's capable defense. This game shouldn't be a blowout, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Packers win by double digits. They should put a lot of pressure on young QB J.J. McCarthy, keeping the Vikings under 20 points while scoring closer to 30 themselves. Take the Packers to win and cover in this one.
