QB Jordan Loves 27 TD/11 INT campaign has featured stretches of play where youd think the Packers were destined to go far this season. Green Bay won four of five between Weeks 9-13, including wins over the Rams, Lions and Chiefs.Unfortunately for Green Bay, its regular season didnt end in Week 13. Since then, the Packers defense has been shredded by the Tommy DeVito-led New York Giants and Baker Mayfields Buccaneers.They barely escaped with their hats last week vs. the Carolina Panthers (2-13), eking out a 33-30 win in a game that resulted in the team suspending CB Jaire Alexander for foolishly taking the field for the pregame coin to s and almost costing the Packers the ball.While young teams like Green Bay appear wildly inconsistent in some lenses, the Packers are riding a five-game winning streak vs. the OVER. This streak has been bolstered by the part of the cheese block that is full of air -- their defense has surrendered 25.8 PPG during this stretch.Vikings betting news: Minnesota offense in fluxThe Vikings are 7-5-3 ATS this season, and tallying two pushes in their last three games surely doesnt make identifying interesting betting trends any easier.QB Kirk Cousins was lost for the season when the Packers and Vikings last met in Week 8. Looking back, its hard to believe that the Vikings were just 1-7 vs. the OVER in the eight games Cousins helmed.The replacement dup of Joshua Dobbs and now Nick Mullens has gone 3-2-2 ATS, and Minnesota has scored 24 points in both games Shaquille O'Neal Jersey Mullens started.The encouraging offensive production as of late must be taken with some grains of salt, like last weeks season-ending injuries to TE T.J. Hockenson and promising rookie WR Jordan Addison (and two defensive starters).Minnesotas offense has been in flux all season due to a litany of injuries and IR stints for core offensive members such as WR Justin Jefferson and RB Alexander Mattison. This flux has reached such a force that TY Hilton is being mentioned as a late-season WR addition, which shows how thin this unit has been spread in 2023.The Vikings have lost four of their last five games, and their only win during this stretch was the 3-0 yawner vs. the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14. With their season on the line vs. Al-Farouq Aminu Jersey the Packers in Week 17, it should be noted that Mullens split reps with rookie QB Jaren Hall during Wednesdays practice. Mullens was spelled in Week 16 by Joshua Dobbs after suffering a concu sion.Also check: | | Packers vs. Vikings propsHere is a sampling of Packers vs Vikings props for bettors to consider:First-Half Winner/End of Regulation Winner Parlay (FanDuel)Green Bay Packers - Green Bay Packers +195Green Bay Packers - Minnesota Vikings +700Green Bay Packers - Tie +2900Minnesota Vikings - Minnesota Vikings +145Minnesota Vikings - Green Bay Packers +800Minnesota Vikings - Tie +3100Will there be overtime?Yes+1200No -2400Packers vs. Vikings player propsSome analysis as sportsbooks post player props for this contest:Justin Jefferson OVER receptions: Regardle s of which Vikings QB gets the nod on Sunday Night Football in Week 17, he's not going to have reliable T.J. Hockenson on the field to help. He will not have speedster WR Jordan Addison either, and for these reasons, it makes sense to envision whoever is under center targeting Justin Jefferson early, often, and even when hes not open.Jaren Hall UNDER pa sing yards: Minnesota coach Kevin OConnell isn't playing three-card Monte because Jaren Hall, Joshua Dobbs, and Nick Mullens are all super-good, super-healthy, and hard to choose between. Mullens faces concu sion-related uncertainty, and Dobbs Linsanity-like run might be over.Hall will likely have a short leash, so betting the UNDER on pa sing yards could pay off. It could also pay off if the Vikings stay with Hall the whole game but struggle to move the ball without Hockenson and Addison.Packers vs. Vikings ATS predictionJordan Love and the Packers wont have an easy time of it, but they have a good shot of covering the Darrell Armstrong Jersey spread in Minnesota on Sunday Night Football in Week 17.While the Vikings and Packers have both admirably hung in the race for an NFC Wild Card spot, it seems like the Vikings' offseason might start earlier than theyd like. The simultaneous lo ses of Hockenson and Addison may spell the curtain call for the Vikings covering, or remaining in the hunt.Pick: Packers If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
