Sunday Night Football Vikings vs. Packers Week 17 Picks & Predictions
By Anthony Rome
The NFC North Division title will be on the line tonight when the Packers host the Vikings at 8:30PM ET on Sunday Night Football.
The Packers are currently 3-point home favorites over their division rivals according to oddsmakers from online sports book RealBet.eu. While the side hasn't experienced any movement, the total has dropped from 47 down to 45.5 points.
Free Pick:
With Green Bay being at home and having already beaten the Vikings in Minnesota a few weeks ago, the line for this game is set right. But the Vikings might be the better team right now. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has strung together two impressive games, the defense is starting to get healthy and Adrian Peterson, well, he's Adrian Peterson.
As for the Packers, injuries along their offensive line caused quarterback Aaron Rodgers to be sacked eight times last Sunday in Arizona. The Packers have also turned the ball over six times the past two weeks and they failed to top 300 total yards in either of those games. Rodgers has not thrown for 300 yards since Week 10 and with Minnesota +5 in turnover margin this season, the Vikings could change the game with a turnover or two tonight.
Take the points with the Vikings, who are 6-0 against the spread in their last six road games.
