Green Bay Packers vs Minnesota Vikings 11/25/18 NFL Odds, Preview and Prediction

The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings play for the second time this season on Sunday 11/25/18 at the U.S. Bank Stadium. The first time these teams met, the game ended in a 29-29 tie. This time around, with the stakes much higher, each will look to earn a victory over the other.

Despite having a potent passing attack led by Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers have only averaged 24 points per game this season. The reason behind that is a poor rushing attack that has only produced and average of 108 yards per game. Just to show how bad the Packers’ rushing game is this season, Rodgers is the third leading rusher on the team.

The Vikings are coming off a 20-25 loss to the Chicago Bears in their last outing. If there’s anything that can be said about their performance in that game, it’s that they need to play with more consistency on offense. Despite the loss, their second defeat in their last three games, the Vikings remain in second place in the NFC North Division. Overall though, Minnesota has won four out of their last six games to get to this point.

Kirk Cousins has thrown for a total of 2,947 yards with 19 touchdowns, the same number as Rodgers’ season output. But the 30-year old Cousins has thrown more interceptions at 7 this season. Cousins threw for 296 yards with two touchdowns against the Bears the last time out but he also threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown by Eddie Jackson.

Green Bay is 4-8-1 SU in their last 13 games played and are 0-5 SU in their last 5 game on the road. Minnesota is 17-6-1 SU in their last 24 games played and 9-2 SU in their last 11 games at home. Head to head, the Vikings are 4-1-1 SU in their last six games against the Packers.

As far as quarterbacks are concerned, Aaron Rodgers is head to toe better than Kirk Cousins. Although both gunslingers are tied with 19 touchdowns this season, Rodgers has reached this point with only one interception compared to Cousins’ seven. Statistically, Rodgers has the better numbers in almost every category including quarterback rating and passing yards per game.

The Packers are 4-8-1 ATS in their last 13 games played and 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games on the road. The Vikings are 4-7-2 ATS in their last 13 games played and 2-4-1 ATS in their last 7 games at home.
