The betting line for the Packers-Vikings NFC North showdown is fluctuating, with some sportsbooks favoring the Vikings as one-point home underdogs and others listing the Packers as a one-point road underdog. Despite the Vikings' strong performance this season, including a Week 4 victory over the Packers, the public and oddsmakers generally favor the Packers. Jay Kornegay, a former oddsmaker at the Westgate Superbook, attributes the Packers' popularity to public betting and their slightly higher ranking in the Westgate's NFL power rankings.
The betting line for Sunday’s NFC North showdown between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings has shifted back and forth without settling on a favorite.
“Most of our big plays have been on Green Bay,” says Kornegay, who now contributes on the marketing side for the Westgate. “The Packers are also getting the majority of the recreational play. We do anticipate some Minnesota money closer to kick-off.” Also, Minnesota sweated until the end last week vs. the Seattle Seahawks, a team the Packers beat by three scores the prior week. And the Vikings went 0–2 against the Lions and Rams, another team the Packers cruised against this season.
