Minnesota Vikings - NFL Betting Analysis

Last week, the Vikings knocked off the Giants by a score of 27-24, giving them an important win over a NFC opponent. Going into the matchup, the Vikings were -4.5 point favorites and did not cover the spread. By the end of the game, the teams combined for 51 points, surpassing the betting line of 48. Minnesota pulled out a comeback victory over the Giants, as they entered the 4th quarter trailing by a score of 13-10. Despite the win, Minnesota was not able to cover the spread. Through 15 games, the Vikings have an ATS record of 6-8-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 10-5. This week's betting total of 47.0 is right in line with their previous games.

As the Vikings prepare to take on Green Bay, they have played well on offense, ranking 7th in points per game at 25.2. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Packers defense ranked 18th in points per game. In the passing attack, the Vikings head into the game averaging 259.9 yards per game through the air. This week, they are facing off against a secondary that is ranked 16th in passer rating allowed. On the ground, our projections show that the Vikings' offense will have a good game on the ground, surpassing their season average of 94.5 as the Packers are a below-average rush defense.

 

Green Bay Packers - NFL Betting Analysis

Last week, Green Bay played in a non-conference game vs the Miami Dolphins, winning by a score of 26-20. In terms of betting, Green Bay picked up an ATS win, as they were the 3.5-point underdogs. With an over-under betting line of 49, the two teams fell below that figure as they combined for 46. The Packers and Dolphins entered the 4th quarter all tied at 20-20. But Green Bay outscored Miami by 6 to pull out the victory. Through 15 games, the Packers have an ATS record of 7-8. So far, they have an over-under record of 7-8. This week's betting total of 47.0 is slightly higher than the line in their previous games.

Heading into this week's matchup, the Packers' offense is averaging 20.9 points per game, placing them 18th in the NFL. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Vikings defense ranked 28th in points allowed. Although the Packers come into the game ranked just 17th in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Minnesota secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect Green Bay to have an above-average performance in the passing attack. Heading into the game, the Packers are 14th in rush yards at 123.1 yards per game.

 

Today's NFL Betting Pick - Vikings vs. Packers

When looking back at the recent matchups between Minnesota and Green Bay, the Vikings put together a record of 3-2. The two teams have combined to average 53.8 points per game in their last 5 meetings. The Vikings will be looking to pick up yet another win over the Packers as they picked up a 23-7 win at home in week 1. Not only did the Vikings come out on top in the win column, but they also covered the spread as +3.5 point underdogs. Last year's meetings between the teams resulted in a split, with the Packers winning by a score of 37-10 and the Vikings by a margin of 34-31.

The Minnesota Vikings have gone 2-2 vs the spread in these games. On average, the Vikings have averaged 25.8 points per game in the past 5 head-to-head matchups, compared to Green Bay at 28.0.

Minnesota will look to keep things rolling as they have put together a mark of 2-1 over their past 3 games. In addition, their ATS record over this stretch is 0-3 while posting a 3-0 over-under mark.

In their last 3 road games, Minnesota has averaged 25.33 points per game while allowing 27.0. The team's record in this stretch was 2-1 while going 1-1-1.

Over their last 3 regular season games, the Packers have gone 3-0 straight up. In these games, they have a 3-0 record vs the spread and an over-under mark of 1-2.

Across their last 3 home contests, Green Bay has been good against the spread posting a mark of 2-1. Their overall mark in these games was 2-1 while averaging 24.0 points per game.

Recommended ATS Betting Pick: Packers -3.5

Recommended OU Betting Pick: Over 47.0
