The Green Bay Packers are coming off an impressive victory and looking to stay rolling as they take on the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night.
The Green Bay Packers are 7-1-1 straight up and 6-3 against the spread in their last nine games against the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers are favored to pick up another win against their division rival when they host the Vikings this Thursday night.
Green Bay is a 9-point home favorite on Thursday according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. With a history of dominance against Minnesota and on offense that looks to be back on track, the Packers should be able to win this game by double digits and cover the spread.
Panic was starting to set in among the Green Bay Packers fan base when the team got off to a 1-2 SU and 0-2-1 ATS start to the season. But in a critical NFC North game against the Chicago Bears last Sunday, Green Bay picked up an impressive 38-17 win as a 2-point road favorite. The Packers enter Thursday night's game with an 8-1-1 SU and 8-2 ATS record in their last 10 home games against NFC North opponents.
OddsShark Computer Prediction: Minnesota 25.4, Green Bay 22.2
Green Bay hosts Minnesota on Thursday night at 8:25pm ET at Lambeau Field.
Minnesota was outscored 50-16 in its first two games without Adrian Peterson, getting beaten 30-7 at home against New England and 20-9 on the road against New Orleans. But the offense clicked for the Vikings last Sunday against Atlanta as the team picked up a 41-28 home win as a 5.5-point underdog. Going on the road could be a lot tougher for the Vikings, who are just 1-12-1 SU and 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games against division rivals.
The OVER is 3-0 in Minnesota's last three games against NFC North foes and 10-3 in the last 13 games between these two teams. Thursday's total is set at 47.5 at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
Teddy Bridgewater had the luxury of the home crowd behind him in his first career start last week. In a much more hostile environment on Thursday night, he'll likely make some rookie mistakes; and Aaron Rodgers is one of the best in the world at capitalizing on mistakes. Look for Green Bay to win and cover as 9-point favorites.
