Green Bay is a 6.5-point home favorite at Lambeau Field at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In their last 14 games played on a Saturday, the Packers are 11-3 SU.
On the heels of a fourth straight loss that had dropped the Packers’ record to 4-6 SU and 3-6-1 ATS on the season, Aaron Rodgers told the media that he felt confident that his team could run the table the rest of the way.
So far, Rodgers has made good on that prognostication, leading Green Bay to four straight wins and an 8-6 record. Green Bay has already taken control of a wild card spot and is still alive for the NFC North division title as well.
With last Sunday’s win over Chicago, the Packers improved to 8-1 SU and 7-2 ATS in their last nine games played in the month of December per the OddsShark NFL Database.
Betting Line / Total: Green Bay -6.5 / 43 Points
Trend: The total has gone UNDER in the Vikings’ last four games against the Packers.
Trend: The Vikings are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games on the road against the Packers.
Adrian Peterson made his return to action last week from a knee injury that had been expected to keep him out all season. But Peterson’s home return was spoiled by an awful game by the Minnesota defense, which left the Vikings trailing 27-0 at the end of the half in what ended up to be a 34-6 blowout loss.
With that loss, Minnesota’s playoff chances took a massive hit as the team fell to 2-7 SU and 3-6 ATS over its last nine games.
Saturday’s total is set at 43 points. The UNDER is 4-0 in the last four games between the Packers and the Vikings.
Minnesota is just 2-8 SU in its last 10 games on the road against teams with winning records. The Vikings have generally been strong on defense this season, but their anemic offense has prevented them from sticking around long enough to win games.
With the Packers rounding into form late in the season as the playoffs approach, it’s difficult to see the Vikings proving to be much of an obstacle in this rivalry game.
