Why the Packers can cover
Green Bay has not played a home game since the end of September, losing back-to-back road games in narrow fashion to open October. The Packers have split their two home games this season, beating New Orleans before losing to Detroit. They are facing a Minnesota offense that has committed 14 turnovers this season, matching Cleveland for the second-highest total of any team.
The Packers are prepared to handle Minnesota's blitz-heavy defense after not allowing a sack against Denver. The Vikings are in a difficult scheduling spot, playing on the road on short rest following a physical game against San Francisco on Monday night. Green Bay has won 14 of its last 20 home games, and it has covered the spread in six of its last eight games against NFC opponents.
Why the Vikings can cover
Minnesota is coming off an impressive upset win, beating San Francisco as a 7-point underdog on Monday night. Quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 35 of 45 passes for 378 yards and two touchdowns, with Jordan Addison accounting for 123 receiving yards and both scores. Cousins ranks second in the league in touchdown passes, despite star wide receiver Justin Jefferson being on injured reserve.
The Vikings have won six of their last eight games against NFC North rivals, while the Packers have lost six straight games in October. Green Bay is riding a three-game losing skid with its offense averaging just 18.5 points per game over its last four outings. Packers quarterback Jordan Love has thrown four touchdowns and seven interceptions during that stretch, so Minnesota has a major quarterback advantage on Sunday. See which team to pick here.
