6 reasons why the Vikings will beat the Packers in Week 16

Bailey is perfect inside U.S. Bank this season

Minnesota has been able to come out with a win in all six of their home games so far this year and their kicker has actually played an important part in this being able to happen.

Vikings kicker Dan Bailey has only missed two of his field goal attempts this season, but neither of these misses happened inside U.S. Bank Stadium. Bailey has also failed to make four of his extra point tries this year and none of these occurred on Minnesota’s home field either.

Since it’s a divisional matchup, there’s a good chance that the score of the Vikings’ game on Monday night against the Packers will be pretty close. If this is the case, there will be little room for Minnesota to make any mistakes.

A missed field goal could quite possibly end up being the difference in this matchup. But given Bailey’s performance at U.S. Bank Stadium this season, the Vikings should actually feel confident about their kicking game on Monday (for once).
