Minnesota Vikings
However, the ground game has been modest, averaging 74.9 yards per game, with Alexander Mattison leading the charge with 320 yards. On the defensive front, the Vikings are limiting opponents to 21.7 points and 330.3 yards per game, spearheaded by Camryn Bynum’s 60 tackles. Their defense has been a high point, ranking 1st in the NFL for Q2 win percentage and tying for 2nd in forced fumbles.
Green Bay Packers
Defensively, they’ve been similar to the Vikings, conceding 22 points and 338 yards per game. Quay Walker’s 56 tackles lead the team’s defensive stats, and they rank 1st in kickoff return yards but disappointingly sit at 32nd in Q2 points per game.
Prediction
Given the Vikings’ recent injury concerns, especially after Monday night’s action, all eyes will be on their recovery heading into this game. Even so, their recent victories against the Bears and 49ers highlight their talent and improved roster. The Packers, on the other hand, have been out of sorts, with a faltering defense and an offense struggling for consistency.
Considering the matchups and current form, the Vikings appear to be the more promising bet on BUSR’s NFL Futures. Expect them to leverage this advantage and emerge victorious in this NFC North face-off.
