Packers vs. Vikings Kicks Off at 1 p.m. ET on FOX With Green Bay Favored by 6.5

Relentless Vikings blitzing plus McCarthy turnovers test a Green Bay team seeking stability at Lambeau.

Overview

  • Green Bay enters 6-3-1 and Minnesota 4-6 in a divisional matchup with playoff positioning implications in the NFC North.
  • Sportsbooks list the Packers at roughly -6.5 with an over/under near 41.5, reflecting expectations for a lower-scoring game.
  • Vikings rookie J. J. McCarthy has battled accuracy and ball-security issues, including interceptions in each of his first five starts.
  • Brian Flores’ defense has brought pressure at an NFL-high 57% of dropbacks since the bye, a key test for Jordan Love and Green Bay’s protections.
  • The Packers ended a two-game home slide with a Week 11 win but saw Jordan Love briefly leave with a shoulder issue and Josh Jacobs exit with a knee injury; viewers can watch on FOX, stream via Fubo or NFL+, and listen on SiriusXM (channels 228/385), with tickets still available on secondary markets.
