\"Vikings<\/a>
The Minnesota Vikings are 8-6 ATS as underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points since 2011<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Green Bay has won three games in a row, including a 31-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns Sunday, while going UNDER the betting total in each of those contests.\u00a0 The Packers are 20-6 (.769) all-time in Sunday Night contests\u2014a winning percentage that ranks No. 1 in league history.\u00a0 Through 105 meetings, which includes two postseason games, the Packers hold a 55-49-1 advantage over the Vikings in the all-time series.\u00a0 Green Bay is 12-8 SU and 8-11-1 ATS on the road over the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 11-9 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Packers should expect a hard-fought game from the Vikings despite their poor record, as 16 of the last 21 regular-season meetings between the clubs have been decided by seven points or less.\u00a0 Since head coach Mike McCarthy took over in 2006, Green Bay has swept the season series four out of seven years, while compiling a 10-4 record.\u00a0 The team has won 13 of its last 14 regular-season games against NFC North opponents.<\/p>\n

Minnesota has dropped back-to-back games, including a 23-7 setback to the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, while going UNDER the betting total for the first time in six contests during the 2013 NFL campaign.\u00a0 Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is the key player to watch in this matchup, as he rushed for 508 yards in three total games against the Packers a season ago.\u00a0 Wide receiver Greg Jennings ranks in the top 10 in Green Bay\u2019s history in receptions and receiving yards, as he prepares to take on his former team for the first time.\u00a0 Minnesota is 4-11 SU and 8-6 ATS as underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points since 2011.<\/p>\n

The Vikings are only one of two teams in the league that have scored on a kickoff return and a punt return in 2013, with Cordarrelle Patterson being one of the best special teams players in football.\u00a0 He leads the NFL with an average of 36.5 yards per kickoff return\u2014something to consider when looking over the pro football odds page.\u00a0 The franchise is 12-8 in the last 20 games played in this rivalry inside the Metrodome.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total, as the OVER is 10-2-1 in the last 13 meetings in Minnesota.<\/p>\n
