- Packers -3 (-114)
Moneyline:

Over/Under:
- 48.5 points
- Over -104
- Under -118
Prediction:
With a 12-3 record, Minnesota has already clinched the NFC North title and a spot in the upcoming playoffs. Due to their success this season, the Vikings are still in contention for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and at the very least, they need a win on Sunday to keep ahold of the No. 2 seed in the conference.
This weekend, Minnesota will take on a 7-8 Green Bay team that has won three games in a row. However, none of these three victories were that impressive by the Packers, and they are still a very beatable team, which is exactly what the Vikings will do on Sunday.
Prediction: Vikings win
