\"Vikings<\/a>
The Minnesota Vikings need a huge performance out of RB Adrian Peterson Sunday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Minnesota will play at Green Bay for the 106th meeting between the two NFC North rivals, with running back Adrian Peterson set to appear on the football field for the 100th time as a professional.\u00a0 He is tied for second in the league with three 100-yard rushing games this season, which is important to consider when making your pro football picks in Week 12.\u00a0 The franchise is searching for its first road win in this series since 2009.\u00a0 Minnesota is 2-7 SU and 2-6-1 ATS in Weeks 10 through 13 the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 6-3 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Vikings have used three signal-callers this season, but Christian Ponder will stay under center for the time being despite being pulled from a 41-20 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m excited to be out there again,\u201d commented Ponder during practice.\u00a0 \u201cI need to be more consistent.\u201d\u00a0 The former Florida State star has completed 28 of 59 passes for 309 yards with three interceptions in losing both his career starts at Lambeau Field.<\/p>\n

Green Bay has lost three games in a row, with each affair going UNDER the total, including a 27-13 setback to the New York Giants as 3.5-point road underdogs last week.\u00a0 The Packers have scored 30 or more points in five of their last six regular-season games against the Vikings, averaging 35.0 points over that span.\u00a0 The franchise is a dominating 11-4 SU against Minnesota during the Mike McCarthy era during regular season play.\u00a0 Green Bay is 6-4 SU and 5-5 ATS in November the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER going 6-4 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Packers will be led by quarterback Scott Tolzien offensively, who is under center due to Aaron Rodgers being out with a broken collarbone.\u00a0 He threw for 339 yards on 24-of-34 passing in last week\u2019s defeat, but it was the most passing yards by a Green Bay quarterback in his first start with the club in franchise history.\u00a0 The ground game may be the key to picking up a victory in this spot, as the squad has four 180-yard rushing performances thus far in 2013.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the packers due to their 21-8 ATS mark at home in their last 29 opportunities.<\/p>\n
