GREEN BAY PACKERS (-3) over Minnesota Vikings
The Packers welcome the Vikings to Green Bay on Sunday in a pivotal NFC North matchup.
Minnesota sits a half-game up on Green Bay, with both teams winning six games through nine weeks, but it appears these two teams are heading separate ways.
The Vikings finally have their quarterback, but it’s hard to imagine Kirk Cousins fixing all of Minnesota’s offensive problems in less than a week.
Cousins is familiar with Kevin O’Connell’s system, having spent six seasons together in Minnesota, but getting up to speed with his new teammates in time for a road matchup against the Packers is a tall task.
Minnesota boasts one of the NFL’s best defenses, but Green Bay’s unit has been every bit as impressive lately.
Over the past four games, the Packers have actually been better defensively by EPA per play, and they’ve forced multiple turnovers in six consecutive contests, including four in Sunday’s 45-27 beatdown of the defending AFC champion Patriots.
Green Bay’s offense is starting to look scary as well.
Jordan Love is playing his way into the MVP conversation, coming off a 372-yard, three-touchdown performance against New England.
His receiving corps has been just as impressive, with Christian Watson and Matthew Golden combining for a ridiculous 335 receiving yards and two touchdowns last week.

The Packers have won five of their last six games and look like one of the most complete teams in football.
With Cousins facing a difficult turnaround and Green Bay firing on all cylinders, I’ll lay the field goal at Lambeau Field.
2026 record: 3-6
Last week: 1-0 (Lions W)
