The Green Bay Packers aim to break the Minnesota Vikings' eight-game win streak in an NFC North showdown. Will the Packers' strong defense be enough to overcome the Vikings?
As they look forward to the NFL playoffs, the Green Bay Packers step in on a NFC North matchup vs. the Minnesota Vikings hoping to change their recent luck against their division rival.The Green Bay Packers are winners of four of their last five, and are looking for revenge as they travel to take on the Minnesota Vikings who beat them earlier in the season 31-29. The Packers should have the edge on Sunday to help break the Vikings eight-game win streak as we dive into why in my Packers vs.
Vikings predictions. The Packers defensive track record is worth highlighting here. They've allowed 20+ points just once in their last seven games and that was to the Detroit Lions, who has put up monster performances against the rest of the league. Last week they held the Saints to the season's first shutout and held the Seahawks to just 13 the week prior, a team the Minnesota has been great in their own right, but they have picked on some bad offense as of late. Last week they gave up 24 points to an injured Geno Smith, and before that they faced Caleb Williams, Kirk Cousins (who was immediately benched after), Kyler Murray, Caleb Williams again, Will Levis, Mac Jones, and Joe Flacco (who was also later benched). Jordan Love has been great at using his feet to extend plays in his two years as a starter, but that hasn't necessarily translated to rushing production. His rushing prop of 6.5 yards for Sunday seems criminally low at first, but he has actually managed to go over that mark just four of his 13 starts this year. In fact, outside of a 23 yard performance in garbage time against the Lions he has tallied 2, 4, 0, and 2 in the other four of his last five starts. In the passing attack, we should expect to see Tucker Kraft continue on his recent string of production. The second-year tight end now has averaged 54.0 yards per game in his last four after having gone over that mark just twice in his previous 11 games
