Vikings vs Packers NFL Week 10 Preview
Minnesota Vikings Betting Preview: Captain Kirk
The Vikings are stepping into a difficult situational spot for this showdown game against the Packers on a short week of rest. After an exhausting Monday night loss to Buffalo in which the Vikings defense was forced to be on the field for 42 minutes and over 75 plays, the gas tank is going to be completely empty.
Because of that workload, the injuries are starting to pile up. Star linebacker Blake Cashman suffered a concussion and will likely miss this game, and T.J. Hockenson is also banged up.
Of course, the big news on the offensive side of the ball is Kirk Cousins coming over via trade from the Raiders to provide competence at the quarterback position that's been lacking all season.
While Cousins is an upgrade over Carson Wentz/Kyler Murray and should help stabilize the play-action game, the timing and rhythm of a brand-new quarterback operating on a short week are concerning.
Green Bay Packers Betting Preview: Revenge Game
The Green Bay Packers are quietly rounding into elite form on the defensive side of the ball.
Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon is doing a tremendous schematic job, changing up coverages, getting consistent pressure, and throwing complex looks to confuse quarterbacks. Despite dealing with injuries, the Packers have operated at a top-five level over the past month.
Offensively, head coach Matt LaFleur deserves a ton of credit. The Packers essentially have no offensive line, and the run game is non-existent with Josh Jacobs out, yet they continue to successfully push the ball downfield with Jordan Love consistently hitting home runs to Matthew Golden and Christian Watson.
The vertical passing attack is precisely how you have to attack the Vikings' aggressive defense, which sets up well for Green Bay here.
The Packers lost the first meeting with the Vikings earlier this season but performed well, outgaining Minnesota by nearly 200 yards before things got weird late. The Packers will have the advantage of already having tape and familiarity against Flores' blitz packages.
Vikings vs Packers Prediction, Betting Analysis
Green Bay is catching an exhausted Minnesota defense on a short week while the Vikings try to integrate Kirk Cousins back into their system.
With the Packers defense humming, I will gladly lay the field goal in this divisional revenge spot.
Pick: Packers -3 (-110)
