Jeffrey Becker / USA TODAY Sports

The Green Bay Packers will host the Minnesota Vikings in a pivotal NFC North battle on Sunday and you can catch all the action live on CBS and Paramount+. The Packers have crept back into the NFC playoff picture with three consecutive victories to improve to 7-8 but need a win in Week 17 to continue their chase of the Commanders for the final wild-card spot. Meanwhile, the Vikings (12-3) are still alive in the race for the No. 1 seed in the NFL but would need to win out and receive help. You can stream the game in select markets on Paramount+.

Week 17 NFL picks for Minnesota vs. Green Bay

Before tuning into Sunday's Packers vs. Vikings game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up more than $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 17 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 158-113 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

For Vikings vs. Packers, the model is backing Green Bay to cover as 3-point home favorites. These two bitter NFC North rivals faced off in Week 1 with the Vikings rolling to an easy 23-7 victory. The Packers would go on to roll up three consecutive victories after the fact but then spiraled by losing seven of their next eight games.

However, they've looked like a different team during the current three-game winning streak. Green Bay's offense has found solid overall balance and the defense has been extremely opportunistic, forcing eight turnovers in the last three contests. Jaire Alexander has an interception in two of those three games and Preston Smith has three sacks and six quarterback hits in his last two contests.

Meanwhile, the Vikings have committed multiple turnovers in two of their last three games and the model is expecting the Green Bay defense to swing the balance in this one while Aaron Rodgers takes advantage of a bad Minnesota pass defense. The Packers force a couple of turnovers and Rodgers throws for over 260 yards and two touchdowns to help Green Bay cover in well over 50% of simulations. You may be able to stream the game here.
