Green Bay Packers Team News
When the Green Bay Packers lost to the Philadelphia Eagles a month ago, it seemed like their season was over. They were at 4-8 and had almost no chance of making the playoffs. However, after three consecutive wins, things have changed a lot.
In addition to wins against the Chicago Bears, Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins, the Packers were lucky with some other results. They are now 7-8 and if they beat the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions at home, they are very likely to be in the playoffs. The Packers need either the Washington Commanders to lose one of two or the New York Giants to lose both games in last two weeks.
At this point, the Packers are not a weaker team than the Vikings regardless of their total wins. They are definitely favorites on their home field, but it will be necessary for them to keep their mistakes to a minimum. Also, the defense must not allow big plays and a large number of easy yards.
Minnesota Vikings Team News
The Minnesota Vikings won their division for the first time in five years. They are 12-3 and their goal in next two games is to get two wins to maintain the second place in the NFC. In this way, they would secure home field advantage until the conference finals.
Although they achieved 12 wins this season so far, the Vikings have not been a dominant team. They triumphed by double digits only once, so the other 11 wins were by one possession. They also had one of the easiest schedules in the entire NFL. The Vikings offense is truly outstanding this year. New head coach Kevin O’Connell has done a fantastic job on that side of the field, but their defense is very poor. The Vikings are allowing 24.9 points per game and they are fifth worst defense in the competition.
Regardless of the fact that they have already clinched a playoff spot, the Vikings will have a big motive in Green Bay. With a win, they would keep second place in the NFC. Plus, they would eliminate the Packers from the hunt for a place in wild card round, which would make all their fans especially happy.

Green Bay Packers vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction
This is Matt LeFleur’s fourth season as head coach of the Green Bay Packers and he never lost a game in December. When the last month of the season comes around, his team looks phenomenal. They showed that in Miami last week and now when they’re so close to the playoffs, it’s hard to believe they’ll lose to the Minnesota Vikings at home.
