Packers -3, total 44 at SBG
The Packers are favored in this game and for good reason. They are leading the division while the Vikings are on life support. This is a must-win game for the Vikings but they have really shown no signs they are going to turn things around this season. This might be quarterback Brett Favre’s last stand. If the Vikings lose this game then you can officially write them off as playoff contenders.
Packers 3-1 after a Bye
The Packers are 3-1 in games following a bye week under head coach Mike McCarthy. The bye came at a good time for Green Bay as they are banged up. The Packers are hoping to get wide receiver Donald Driver back into the lineup this week. If Green Bay can win this game they would pretty much put the nail in Minnesota’s coffin for this season. They would also be in prime position for the top seed in the NFC Playoffs although nothing will be easy this season. The Packers still have road games at Atlanta and New England before the season is over.
