Will the Packers live up to their role as favorites?

The NFC North summit is coming up in our Packers vs. Vikings tip. It will be cold, and it will be very important, especially for Minnesota. Another loss and the playoffs would be almost out of reach.

For the Packers, on the other hand, it’s all about winning the division and securing home-field advantage in the postseason. With the freezing temperatures that prevail at Lambeau Field in January, this is certainly an important advantage against teams like Tampa or the Rams.

But who is the favorite on Sunday? We answer that question with a clear “the Packers.” Not only do they have the better record and current form, but also the better team chemistry. Anyone who saw Justin Jefferson’s reaction last weekend on and off the field knows that not everything is running smoothly in Minnesota.

There are simply too many points in Green Bay’s favor on Sunday, which also leads us to predict a Packers victory over the Vikings. The Packers should have no trouble with McCarthy and his Vikings at home and should score more than 20 points themselves.

Kickoff for the game is at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday in Green Bay. The game will be broadcast live on RTL and on REDZN via the DAZN streaming service.

Green Bay Packers – Minnesota Vikings Head-to-head comparison / H2H record

There is a lot going for Green Bay, but not everything. The last two head-to-head matches last year both went to the Vikings. However, both were only by a two-point margin and both times with Sam Darnold as the Vikings quarterback. As much as Vikings fans may hate to hear it, the switch to J.J. McCarthy can undoubtedly be described as a clear downgrade.

With McCarthy, who will make only his sixth NFL start on Sunday, we see Minnesota at a significant disadvantage. After all, he ranks 35th out of 35 quarterbacks listed in the NFL’s efficiency statistics (EPA per play).

So, in Packers vs. Vikings, the odds on Green Bay are definitely recommended. Since they are given a -6.5 point handicap, we also recommend a combination bet on Packers + over 35.5 total points. Since both teams score well over 20 points per game on average, this number should be easily surpassed.

Green Bay Packers – Minnesota Vikings Tip

The bookmakers are setting the bar very low for this matchup. They are expecting a total of around 40 points, which is of course also due to the low-scoring 7:10 defeat against the Eagles in the Packers’ last home game. But the Vikings’ defense is further away from Philadelphia’s than the Titans are from a Super Bowl.

Therefore, we expect over 40 points, which makes a tip on Green Bay + over 35.5 total points for Packers vs. Vikings a good bet in two ways. In our opinion, there is no way around a Green Bay victory.

We also have a player bet for this matchup: a TD bet on Christian Watson. His performance since returning from injury has been amazing, capped off with two touchdowns last Sunday against New York.
