Vikings vs Packers NFL Week 12 Preview
I’m going a little bit off the board with this pick, but watching the Packers offense, it’s clear something is off with them.
The opening two weeks of the year were great for the Packers, but since then, it has been nothing but disappointment with more losses and tight games than anything else. The Packers have lost their last two games at home, scoring a combined 20 points in those contests.
Jordan Love sits near the top of the league in EPA per drop back, but the Packers offense is missing tight end Tucker Kraft dearly. That is huge against a Vikings team that is very vulnerable against TEs.
Bears head coach Ben Johnson lamented not getting his TEs more involved after their first clash of the season against the Vikings. Johnson played Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland for almost the entire game in their 19-17 win over Minnesota last week.
Josh Jacobs is also out, which means the Packers will have to rely more on Love and the passing game a bit more. Love hasn’t been great of late, taking sacks and looking a little bit uncomfortable in the pocket overall.
Vikings vs Packers Prediction, Betting Analysis
We've seen defensive coordinator Brian Flores disrupt Love in the past. Last year, the Vikings went up big early, and then the Packers mounted a comeback late, but Love had several turnovers.
In their second meeting, the Packers only put 271 total yards of offense, which was their lowest output of the entire season. Also, add in the fact that the Packers have no reliable kickers. Missed extra points and missed field goals can always come back to haunt favorites.
It all suits a Vikings team that just went to Detroit and beat the Lions three weeks ago.
A big part of it is the fact that several players have recovered from injury, with most of the Vikings' line healthy on both sides of the ball.
Even when J.J. McCarthy has a bad game, things tend to work out for this team on the road. So, I'll take a shot with the Vikings moneyline.
