Why bet on Minnesota versus Green Bay?

The Vikings have already beaten the Packers this season. On Nov. 21, Minnesota upset Green Bay 34-31 as a +1 home dog. Although the line implied the Vikings had a shot at the victory, Minnesota still had to play a great game. Kirk Cousins threw for 341 yards and 3 TDs. Cousins should be in line for another big day because Dalvin Cook is probable for this.

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers Final Betting Prediction

This season’s first Minnesota versus Green Bay matchup was a terrific game. The Packers played hard, but they couldn’t stop Kirk Cousins and the Vikings’ passing attack.

Although the venue changes, the result could be the same. The Packers’ defense hasn’t played all that well in recent games.

Green Bay allowed Tyler Huntley to throw for 215 yards and 2 TDS in the Packers’ 31-30 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Then in NFL Week 16, the Packers allowed Baker Mayfield and Nick Chubb to almost rally the Browns to an upset win even though Green Bay picked off Mayfield 4 times.

Cousins and the Vikings know their lone shot of making the playoffs is to beat Green Bay and then win Week 18. Don’t expect Minnesota to lose this game. The return of Dalvin Cook will keep the Packers’ defense on their heels, which should allow Cousins to have a big day. Minnesota moneyline is the play.
