After a 13-3 record in the regular season, Green Bay made it as far as the Conference Championship last year but lost to the San Francisco 49ers 37-20. Likewise, Minnesota is coming off of a 10-6 season with hopes of advancing further than the second round of the playoffs, where they were eliminated by San Francisco 27-10.
A couple last-season stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Green Bay threw only four interceptions last season, the first among all teams in the NFL. But the Vikings snagged 17 interceptions last year, the third most in the league. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
The neutral point spread forecasts a close one for these two. We’ll see if the game is as close as the oddsmakers expect or if one of these teams has a surprise blowout in them.
