The Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers face off on Sunday in a Week 17 NFL showdown at Lambeau Field. When these to teams faced off on September 11th it was the Vikings that secured the 23-7 victory. 

The Vikings come into this game with a 12-3 record and they have gone 6-8-1 against the spread. The story of this season for the Vikings has been finding a way to win games late. Against the New York Giants, it took a 61 year field goal by Greg Joseph as time expired to secure the 27-24 victory. Kirk Cousins had a big game completing 34 of his 48 passes for 299 yards and three interceptions. Justin Jefferson is having one of the best seasons ever for a wide 

receiver catching 123 passes for 1,756 yards and eight touchdowns. The Vikings are averaging 25.2 points while their defense is giving up 24.9 points per game. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Packers who sit with a 7-8 record and they have gone 7-8 against the spread. The Packers know if they win out they have a good chance to make the playoffs, but they need to win the next two games. In the last game against the Miami Dolphins they took advantage of three interceptions to secure the 26-20 victory. Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of his 38 passes for 238 yards, one touchdowns, and one interception. Green Bay is averaging 20.9 points while their defense is giving up 22.3 points per game. 

The Vikings are 0-3-1 against the spread in their last four games against the AFC. The over is 5-0 in the Vikings last five games. The over is 8-1 in the Vikings last nine road games against a team with a losing home record. 

The Vikings won the first game against the Packers 23-7 and they are going to find success again in this game. The Packers don’t have anyone to slowdown Justin Jefferson, and the Vikings offense is going to find success again in this game. You can take the points if you want to play it safe, but I think they are going to pull the upset. Back the Vikings on the money line to cash.
