Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions Recap

Unfortunately for my side bet on the Packers, the Minnesota Vikings clinched their ninth consecutive victory in Week 17, edging Green Bay 27-25 in a match that proved to be anything but as competitive as the final margin of victory suggests. The Packers needed to score 15 unanswered fourth quarter points to make a game of it, but their shot to cover the NFL odds fell short once the Vikings secured the onside kick attempt then bled clock to lock down win No. 14. The cheeseheads clearly look to be the lesser of the NFC North’s 3-headed dragon with it falling to 0-5 straight up (SU) and 2-3 against the spread (ATS) versus the conference’s top three teams.

Sam Darnold delivered a career-best performance, throwing for 377 yards and three touchdowns, pushing his season total to 35 touchdown passes—the fourth-most in NFL history for a player debuting with a new team. Darnold surpassed Brett Favre and Vinny Testaverde on this list, trailing only Matthew Stafford (41), Tom Brady (40), and Peyton Manning (37). Unfortunately, Jordan Love wasn’t up to the task of competing with the Vikings QB1 evidenced by his meager 91.7 QB rating that only saw him throw for 185 yards. Never once was he in a position to topple his passing yards prop regardless of Green Bay trailing 20-3 five-plus minutes into the third quarter. How he only managed 30 passing attempts still boggles the mind.

The Vikings, now 14-2, remain in contention for the NFC’s top seed heading into a Week 17 showdown in Detroit. They improved to 7-1 at U.S. Bank Stadium, where their defense, energized by the home crowd, has consistently delivered. Linebacker Blake Cashman anchored the defensive effort with 11 tackles and 1.5 sacks, disrupting Packers quarterback Jordan Love and limiting Green Bay’s offensive rhythm. Thankfully, the Packers figured it out and bounced back from their slow start late allowing us to cash in on the over of their team total. Had they simply just went into a shell, we would’ve taken the collar on this same-game parlay at PROLINE+.

Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions

The Minnesota Vikings will be out to rattle off a ninth straight win and bust the brooms out on the Green Bay Packers in Week 17 when the NFC North heavyweights close their regular season rivalry out in the Twin Cities. Matt LaFleur’s troops enter this tilt winners of two straight after pitching a 34-0 shutout against the New Orleans Saints last Monday night, while the Vikings squeaked out another one-possession triumph by escaping the 12^th Man with a 27-24 win in tow.

The NFL odds for this rematch opened with the host Vikings laying 1-point and the total lined 49. Current action reports find nearly 60% of the bets and 65+ percent of the money going the way of the visitors. Even so, PROLINE+ linemakers have moved the betting line up to -1.5 letting it be known that some of their sharp money players have a keen interest on the home team. Reverse line movement has occurred with the total as well that currently sits 47.5 even though 70+ percent of the written tickets and nearly 60% of the booked handle resides on the over.

Reduced juice betting is one of the best ways for any sports bettor to save money and far too many people don’t take advantage of it. If you are not playing at a sportsbook that offers reduced juice betting then you are simply giving away money.

Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings NFL Same Game Parlay:

Since falling 31-29 at home to the Vikings back in Week 4, the Packers have only incurred two more losses to this point of the NFL betting season. Each came against the Detroit Lions by an average of 6.5 points per game. They came out victorious in the other nine games and went a moneymaking 6-3 against the spread with wins logged against the same Cardinals, Seahawks, and Texans teams the Vikings have also defeated to date. However, Green Bay won those games by an average of 13.3 points per game while Minnesota only toppled those opponents by an average of 10.3 points per game. While capping a game solely by how teams fared against similar opposition is a recipe for disaster, it’s certainly something to take note of. Regardless, the point here is that Green Bay invades U.S. Bank Stadium playing some of its best ball of the season and is the team out to acquire same-season revenge after dropping a 31-29 decision to the Vikings in the first meeting as 2.5-point favorites in a game that wasn’t nearly as competitive as the two point margin of defeat indicates.

Things are looking up for the Vikings heading into Week 17 betting with the team hot on the tail of the Detroit Lions to acquire NFC North bragging rights, and with it potentially the top seed in the NFC playoffs should everything fall their way. Much would have to fall into place for that to occur starting with a win on Sunday against the revenge-minded Packers. Regardless, it’s been a hell of a season for SKOL with it currently the No. 5 seed in the NFC and Kevin O’Connell the running favorite to take home Coach of the Year honors. Sam Darnold is also in the thick of the Comeback Player of the Year Award odds chase! That being said, the Vikings continue to take a page out of the Kansas City Chiefs playbook by winning ugly and catching all the breaks. In the last four weeks alone, Justin Jefferson and his mates have scored 23-22 and 27-24 comeback wins against the Cardinals and Seahawks in games it likely should’ve lost. And let’s not forget that game against the Falcons was tied 21-21 going into the fourth quarter. For one reason or another, the football gods just continue to smile down upon this team.

Do the Vikings have enough in their reserves to see this one all the way through? KOC’s troops have been forced to expend a ton of energy over the last few weeks in order to keep the win streak intact. The team enters this tilt fresh off a physical, hard-fought battle against Seattle that went all the way down to the wire. Meanwhile, Jordan Love and Co. got to sit on the bench a bulk of the fourth quarter and watch as the seconds ticked away in the beat down of the Saints. With that, Green Bay won’t only be the fresher of the two teams, but it’ll also have an axe to grind! As stout the Vikings have been against the run (#2), the Packers passing game is going to be showcased and I fully expect it to thrive after getting the Vikings leaky secondary (#29) for nearly 400 yards and 4 TD in the first go-round. Jayden Reed went off in that one for 139 yards and a score with Dontayvion Wicks and Tucker Kraft also coming up with huge showings. The Packers own the much better and more balanced of these two defenses. So long as Love doesn’t get INT happy like he did the last time he threw at Brian Flores’ defense, I can see the Pack running away and hiding in this one.
