‘Sunday Night Football’ 2016 live stream: How to watch Vikings vs. Packers online
The NFC North will be decided on Sunday night.
Neither Minnesota nor Green Bay can clinch a first-round bye in the playoffs, but the division winner will get to host a playoff game in the wild card round and that’s huge. Both teams sit at 10-5 on the season and both are guaranteed a playoff spot, but the winner will get the confidence of a three-seed and again, a home playoff game.
The Vikings are trying to unseat a Packers team that has been dominant in the division for years. Unfortunately, they fell to the Packers at home in Week 11, and this road matchup should be tougher. Minnesota is 4-3 on the road this year, while the Packers are 5-2 at home.
Minnesota has won its last two games, dominant victories over the New York Giants and Chicago Bears. The Packers have won three of their last four games, but were absolutely dominated by the Arizona Cardinals in their last game. They could be facing the Cardinals in the playoffs.
The last time these two teams played, Aaron Rodgers completed 16 of 34 passes for 212 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. The Packers also rushed for 124 yards as a team, while Teddy Bridgewater threw for 296 yards and a touchdown. The Vikings had a bad turnover or two and the defense did not play well in that game.
