I hate to back a public road favorite, but my simulations have the Packers as -5 favorites on the road against Case Keenum and the Vikings. Aaron Rodgers has a relatively healthy supporting cast this week and it will be enough to cover the spread.
The Vikings' injuries continue to mount. After losing rookie running back Dalvin Cook, they’ll now be without QB Sam Bradford and WR Stefon Diggs. That’s going to put a high burden on the shoulder of backup QB Case Keenum.. Off of Green Bay’s stout win over Dallas, look for the Vikings' experience defensively against Aaron Rodgers to shine. Back the home Vikings to cover the field goal Sunday.
The Packers’ offense has been on fire while, their defense has been extremely mediocre. But the combination has led to four straight Overs. Vikings QB Case Keenum will start and may even have some success at home against their defense, but the angle that looks best here is the Under, with Minnesota's quality defense feeding off the crowd. This happened in last year’s 17-14 home win against Green Bay.
