The Green Bay Packers can win the NFC North when they square off against the rival Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. A win by the Packers (11-3) would deliver the franchise its first division title since the 2016 season, but its sixth in nine years. Green Bay is 6-1 against the spread in its last seven games against teams with a winning record. Meanwhile, the Vikings (10-4) can clinch a playoff berth with a victory on Monday Night Football. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET.
Minnesota is a five-point favorite in the latest Vikings vs. Packers odds, while the over-under for total points scored is 47. Before you make any Packers vs. Vikings picks or Monday Night Football predictions of your own, you need to hear what SportsLine's resident Green Bay expert, R.J. White, has to say.
White has been SportsLine's top pro football analyst for almost three years. Since Jan. 1, 2017, the CBS Sports NFL editor and nationally-recognized NFL Draft expert has returned $2,219 to $100 bettors with his against-the-spread NFL picks. The stats guru, whose picks are coveted by fans everywhere, has hit it big in the world's most prestigious handicapping tournament, the Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest, twice in the past four years. In addition, he has had a particularly keen eye for the Packers. He is an amazing 32-6 with his last 38 against-the-spread picks involving Green Bay. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
Now, he has locked in on Packers vs. Vikings and released another confident against-the-spread pick that is available only at SportsLine. Go to SportsLine to see it. Here are the NFL odds and trends for Vikings vs. Packers:
- Vikings vs. Packers spread: Minnesota -5
- Vikings vs. Packers over-under: 47 points
- Vikings vs. Packers money line: Minnesota -230, Green Bay +190
- MIN: DE Danielle Hunter has five sacks in his last three games.
- GB: Packers are No. 2 in the NFL in turnover margin (+14)
White knows defensive end Danielle Hunter should be in the conversation for NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The fifth-year player from LSU is tied for third in the league with 13.5 sacks, including five in his last three games. In last Sunday's victory over the Chargers, Hunter was all over the field, forcing two fumbles and recovering another while also registering a sack.
In addition, White has factored in that the Packers were blown out the last time they played a playoff-caliber team on the road. On Nov. 24, quarterback Aaron Rodgers (20-of-33 passing, 104 yards) was harassed by the 49ers into one of the worst performances of his career, a 37-8 San Francisco win. Green Bay is 4-2 away from Lambeau Field this year, but has beaten only one team above .500 on the road, a Kansas City team without quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Even so, Minnesota is no guarantee to cover the Vikings vs. Packers spread on Monday Night Football.
Green Bay has been winning the turnover battle this season. The Packers have forced 23 turnovers this year, seventh in the NFL, while committing just nine turnovers, second-best in the league. Their turnover differential of plus-14 ranks second in the NFL behind only New England.
In addition, Kenny Clark is one of the best interior defensive linemen in the league. The fourth-year defensive tackle has five sacks on the season, third best on the team. In Sunday's 21-13 win over Chicago, Clark had eight tackles (three for a loss) and two sacks, giving him 3.5 over the past two games.
White has analyzed this matchup and while we can tell you he's leaning over, he has discovered a crucial x-factor that makes one side of the spread a must-back. He's sharing it only at SportsLine.
