- The Packers are 2.5-point favorites against the Vikings.
- Green Bay captured a 33-10 win over the Vikings in the last head-to-head meeting.
- I predict the Packers cover the spread and end Minnesota’s winning streak.
It’s an NFC North matchup between two teams riding a multi-game winning streak: Packers vs. Vikings in Week 4.
Minnesota blew out Houston 34-7 in Week 3 to move to 3-0 on the season. Meanwhile, the Packers beat the Titans 30-14 behind Malik Willis to move to 2-1 through three games.
Last season, these teams split the head-to-head series. Minnesota won 24-10 in Green Bay with the Packers obliterating the Vikings 33-10 in Week 17.
Here’s a look at the NFL betting lines and my Packers vs. Vikings prediction.

Packers vs. Vikings Prediction
My Packers vs. Vikings prediction for Week 4 is the Packers Spread (-2.5, -115).
This is the game that tells bettors whether this Vikings team is legitimate. Up until this point, they’ve faced their hardest games at home with a road game against a bad Giants defense.
Now, they head on the road to face a Packers team that could get Jordan Love back on Sunday. Additionally, there’s a clear advantage for Green Bay in Week 4.
Unsurprisingly, Minnesota excels in a ton of underlying statistical categories. But they’re exploitable via the ground.
After posting a 84.5 rush defense grade against the Giants, Minnesota posted grades of 70.1 and 69.2 against San Francisco and Houston.
Now they play a Packers team that’s sixth in PFF’s rushing grades. The last time Minnesota faced Green Bay, they allowed 177 yards on the ground.
Plus, history says this is a wise spot to fade the Vikings.
Since 2017, conference underdogs between +1 and +3 that are 100% both SU and ATS with an average margin of victory higher than 10 points per game are 2-8 ATS.
Take the Packers to win and cover to hand Minnesota their first loss of the season.
