Packers Spotlight

Green Bay is coming off a 17-0 win over the Seattle Seahawks and have shined defensively.  The win came at a cost as their leading rusher Aaron Jones was injured and will miss this game.  Offensively, The Packers still have Rodgers and will put up points. On defense, Green Bay ranks 3rd in points allowed per game with 18 ppg and should make it tough for the Vikings to score.

Vikings Spotlight

Minnesota is coming off a 27-20 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, and are on the heels of the Carolina Panthers for the last playoff spot. Offensively, the Vikings are led by quarterback Kirk Cousins and running back Dalvin Cook. Cousins is 12th in the NFL with a 56.9 QBR, and has 2,434 yards passing with 18 touchdowns and a league best two interceptions. Cook is 5th in the NFL with 648 rushing yards. The Vikings defense is nothing special and is allowing 23.44 points per game on average ranking them 16th in the league.

Final Say

This will be a hard fought game. This game means more to the Vikings than the Packers for a playoff spot but at the end of the day, Rodgers will find a way to win while the heartbreaking Vikings will come up short like they always do. Packers win in a low scoring game.
