Packers vs Vikings Week 17 Picks

Over 48.5 Points

Bet this early while you still can. A total of 48.5 points looks high at first glance for a Packers vs Vikings contest featuring two defenses ranked in the top-six in EPA per play this season. 

Additionally, the Vikings are second in turnovers forced, with the Packers in fourth. Both teams sports a +10 turnover differential. Similarly, Minnesota is fifth in the NFL in sacks with 44, with Green Bay just behind with 43. 

That being said, the Packers have scored 30-plus points in four straight games, while the Vikings have put up 27-plus in four of their last five. Jordan Love has been masterful across the last five weeks. He's first in yards per attempt, second in total QBR and seventh in CPOE. While Sam Darnold isn't too far behind at sixth in EPA per play and success rate. 

NFL football is progressively an offensive game. With both of these teams in the top-seven in EPA per play over the past four weeks, bet the OVER 48.5. 

Minnesota will be playing to keep pace with the Detroit Lions, and possibly, surpass them. While the Packers aim to secure the highest seed possible in the playoffs. Matt Lafleur and Kevin O'Connell are aggressive, offensive-minded coaches who play to win. Bet the OVER in Packers vs Vikings with confidence.
