Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers prediction Week 17

Yes, the Packers currently have the best record in the NFL. But 6.5 points still seems like a little too much for Green Bay to be favored by against a Vikings team that has come out with a victory in each of the last two meetings between these two teams.

In fact, the Packers have only managed to get wins in three of their last nine battles with Minnesota.

So throw the records out the window and focus on the Vikings’ recent success against Green Bay. With Mike Zimmer as their head coach, Minnesota has typically played well in their games with the Packers (just four losses in 11 matchups since 2016), and that should continue on Sunday.
