Packers Betting Preview

It’s hard to p out the Green Bay Packers right now other than to say they are reliably unreliable. They were on top of the world with wins over the Lions and Chiefs, but followed that up with losses to the Giants and Buccaneers. They returned to the win column in Week 16 but just barely.

Green Bay was in Carolina to face the league’s worst team, the Carolina Panthers, and while they were leading 30-16 in the fourth quarter, were forced to hold on and escape with a 33-30 win. Jordan Love had 219 yards and two touchdowns and Aaron Jones ran all over the Panthers for 127 yards on the ground. But the Green Bay defense allowed Bryce Young to have his best day in his short pro career. Young threw for 312 yards and two touchdowns, both to DJ Chark who also had 98 yards receiving.

Green Bay's offense is 10th in DVOA, which is pretty incredible given the youth on that side of the ball. But the defense…

The Packers have all kinds of concerns on both offense and defense when it comes to this week’s Packers injuries. On offense, both RBs Aaron Jones and AJ Dhillon, plus WRs Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks and LG Elgton Jenkins are all questionable.

On defense, DT TJ Slaton, LBs De’Vondre Campbell and Quay Walker and safeties Jonathan Owens and Darnell Savage are all dealing with injuries. To make matters worse, CB Jaire Alexander was suspeneded by the team for acting as a captain during the coin-flip last week. Head Coach Matt Lafleur suspended the team’s top CB for “conduct detrimental to the team”.

Vikings Betting Preview

Since these teams last played and Cousins was lost to injury, the Vikings have gone through Jaren Hall, Joshua Dobbs and had settled on Nick Mullens at quarterback in recent weeks. Minnesota is 3-4 SU in those games.

Mullens came on in relief of Dobbs in a 3-0 loss in Las Vegas and while the Vikings have moved the ball better with Mullens in recent games, they’ve still lost 27-24 and then 30-24 to the Lions last week.

In those two starts Mullens put up good numbers with 303 and 411 yards passing, while he threw for two touchdowns in each game. However, Mullens is very boom or bust and the bust has been that he’s thrown six interceptions in the past two games, including four last week.

That was enough for Head Coach Kevin O’Connell to switch things up yet again at the QB position this week with Minnesota’s playoff lives hanging in the balance. O’Connell has named fifth round rookie Hall the starter for Sunday. Hall has made two appearances this season and has completed 8-10 passes for 101 yards.

While Justin Jefferson has returned to the lineup for the Vikings, they’ve lost star TE TJ Hockenson to the IR and WR Jordan Addison and RB Alexander Mattison are both questionable with injuries. So you’ll have to look elsewhere in the Packers vs Vikings props. Defensively, DE Jaquelin Roy and CB Byron Murphy Jr are questionable on the Vikings injury report.

Packers vs Vikings Prediction

Green Bay is 7-8 ATS overall, 3-5 ATS on the road, 6-4 ATS as an underdog and 3-3 ATS as road underdog. They’re an even 2-2 ATS in divisional games.

Minnesota is 7-5-2 ATS overall, 2-5 ATS at home, 2-2-1 ATS as a favorite and 0-2 ATS as a home favorite. Within the division they’re also an even 2-2 ATS.

Totals-wise these teams have been the opposite with the Packers being 9-6 to the Over and the Vikings being 10-5 to the Under.

If it were Mullens under center this game could look like an obvious Over bet. Hall is more of a question mark. But we have seen Green Bay allow Baker Mayfield to throw for 381 yards and 4 TDs and be named NFC Offensive Player of the Week and Young have his best day of the season with 312 yards and 2 TDs in the past two weeks. So perhaps Hall too can find sucess against a depleted Packers secondary.

Without knowing what to expect from Hall though, I’ll side with the Packers.

Packers vs Vikings Picks: Packers +1 (-110)
