NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take the over. According to latest NFL trends, the over is 4-0 in the last four meetings between these two teams in Green Bay and 7-1 in the last eight meetings overall. It’s also 4-0 in the Vikings’ last four games in December and 5-1 in the Packers’ last six games in December. Green Bay was held to 10 points last Sunday night in New York but that won’t happen two weeks in a row. Look for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay offense to strike early and often, especially with Greg Jennings expected back from injury. The Vikings should also contribute offensively against a Packer defense that has allowed 20-plus points in its last two games.
