Can Packers stop the Vikings?

Today’s top match didn’t exactly grab the attention of VSiN’s Best Bet columnists.

Managing Editor of VSiN.com only Zach Cohen took the stage at the Packers-Vikings duel (4:25 p.m. ET):

Minnesota has won eight games in a row. The Vikings are the hottest team in football right now, and Sam Darnold has been playing like crazy lately. Darnold started the season well, but has cooled off a bit. Of course, many thought he would come back down to earth. But Darnold has thrown 15 touchdowns and just one interception in the last six games. He also had a passer rating of at least 107.0 in five of his last six games. Minnesota is very active in the NFC North race now, as the team is 13-2 and tied with Detroit. But the Vikings absolutely need to win, and this matchup with the Packers (11-4) will be a challenge. But given the way Darnold is playing, I see no reason why Minnesota can’t win this home game.
