The Green Bay Packers wrap up the regular season in a Week 18 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers are locked in as the No. 7 seed in the NFC, so they will face either the Chicago Bears for the third time this year or the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round of NFL Super Wild Card Weekend next week. With Green Bay not having much to play for, we should see the Packers playing this one out with the goal of just getting into the postseason as healthy as possible. 

Kickoff from U.S. Bank Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. The Vikings are 10.5-point favorites in the latest Packers vs. Vikings odds at DraftKings, and the over/under for total points is 37.
