THE PREDICTION
These two NFC North rivals will do battle at opposite ends of the standings in what will cold conditions at Lambeau Field. The 5-1 Green Bay Packers host the 1-5 Minnesota Vikings with both teams have very different aspirations this season. There is talk that the Vikings could look to ‘tank’ this season to bolster their draft position next season whilst the Packers will feel they can go deep into the post-season. Their high-powered offense notched 35 points in their win over Houston Texans last week, meaning they have scored at least 30 in five of their six games this season. The Vikings conceded 40 in their loss to Atlanta Falcons in Week 6 and despite enjoying their bye last week, their defense is likely to struggle here with Aaron Rodgers able to guide his team to a win as well as covering the -6.5 spread.
