Love has thrown up a couple clunkers for sure and it's unclear whether he's a capable long-terms answer for Green Bay. Even so, this is a get-right game of sorts against a Vikings team that has been mediocre at best against the pass and is allowing 225 yards per game.

At this point in the season, I think we all know what Jordan Love can do and it doesn't appear to be much. He's likely to be harassed by the Vikings defense led by Brian Flores and the Vikings rush defense has also been solid. Green Bay has some serious injury issues in the secondary and their run defense has been sub-par. It sounds crazy, but I think the Vikings should be three point favorites on the road at Green Bay.

The Packers are expected to get their defensive signal-caller back on the field Sunday. De'Vondre Campbell, who notched 14 tackles in his last full game, is questionable with an ankle injury but practiced all week. He has missed three straight games, all Green Bay losses. There's always a risk that Campbell re-injures his ankle and is forced to leave. But if he plays the whole game, I love his chances of getting at least eight tackles. The Vikings pepper tight end T.J. Hockenson with targets (12 last game) and Campbell will be covering Hockenson often.

Vikings safety Camryn Bynum was the star of Monday Night Football, as he made two interceptions and nine tackles in Minnesota's 22-17 upset of San Francisco. Bynum leads the Vikings' defense in snaps (467) and has been a consistent tackler all season. He's cleared this number in six of seven and should be busy again Sunday.

Cam Akers compiled 61 total yards in limited action last week against the 49ers. But he played the majority of the second half last week and looked more explosive than the banged-up Alexander Mattison. It seems only a matter of time until Akers is RB1 in Minnesota, and he should get enough touches Sunday to clear thus number.

We told you on Monday the Vikings defense was no joke anymore. And the Packers offense has been broken since about halftime of Week 2. Vikings are forcing teams to low scoring games (6-1 to the under) and Packers are not built to play from behind with a bad QB in Jordan Love. Problem is they 0 TDs and 6 total points in the first half of the last three games. Love has a 65.5 rating his last four games and is throwing a pick 5% of the time. Minnesota just held CMC in check while allowing about 15 points a game the last four weeks. Packers 20 or less each of the last four game

The Minnesota Vikings have won and covered two in a row and will now travel to Green Bay, who has dropped three in a row straight-up and against the spread. The Vikings will play this division game on short rest after playing the 49ers on MNF. Seems like a very tough spot. The Packers defeated the Vikings 41-17 without CB Jaire Alexander in a cold weather game in Green Bay last season. He practiced on Wednesday and should be available for this cold weather (40 degrees) matchup. Minnesota is ranked 26th in red zone defense, 25th in third-down defense, and 23rd in red zone offense. Green Bay is ranked seventh in red zone defense, ninth in third-down defense, and eighth in red zone offense.

This lookahead play is more about that Green Bay got out of Sunday apparently fairly healthy than how it played (lost in Denver), while we don't know what will happen to the Vikings tonight -- and teams the week after playing the 49ers almost always lose because they are so banged up. The Vikes also are a dome team, obviously, and weather doesn't look too pleasant Sunday at Lambeau.
