The Packers enter Minnesota as slight underdogs this weekend.
There are just two weekends left to go in the NFL’s 2024 regular season. Ten teams have clinched playoffs spots already, five in each conference, and there is a possibility that all 14 playoff teams will have their spots locked up by the end of the day on Sunday.
The Green Bay Packers are one of the ten teams that has already locked up a spot, but their exact seed remains to be determined. Green Bay could earn the #5 seed if they win out — beating the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears down the stretch — and if the Vikings also lose to the Detroit Lions in week 18. Alternately, they could fall as low as the 7th seed if they drop a game or two and get jumped by the Washington Commanders.
This weekend’s game against the Vikings is a huge one as a result, especially with the Vikings still alive in the race for the NFC North title. The Packers would love to get a win over their divisional rivals as well as helping to eliminate the Vikings from division title contention, but they’ll have to do so on the road as narrow underdogs.
FanDuel has the Packers as 1.5-point dogs for this Sunday’s game as of Saturday morning. Check out APC’s picks for Packers-Vikings and all of the other games across the NFL this weekend below.
