The Minnesota Vikings (6-2) and Green Bay Packers (6-3) meet Sunday in Green Bay, Wisconsin, for a Week 10 NFC North battle. Kickoff from Lambeau Field is at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let's analyze NFL odds around the Vikings vs. Packers odds and make our expert NFL picks and predictions for the best bets.
The Vikings and Packers clash for an important NFC North battle, which has proven to be the toughest division in the NFL this year. Green Bay has strong record on paper, but sits in the bottom of the NFC North heading into Sunday. Meanwhile, Minnesota has fallen into second place as of late.
Everything is wide open in the North.
The Vikings enter this one as one of the most intriguing teams in the NFL. Just 2 weeks ago, Minnesota sat at the top of the division
but have suffered back-to-back losses, most recently against the Buffalo Bills in a 23-6 final on Monday Night Football in Week 9.
QB Carson Wentz replaced Kyle Murray under center for that one and had a miserable 8.9 QB rating. The Vikings went on to replace Wentz a day after the loss by acquiring QB Kirk Cousins at the 2026 NFL trade deadline in a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders. The hope in Minnesota is that Cousins can elevate the offense enough to complement an outstanding defense. The Vikings defense rank second in yards allowed per game (280.0) and first in points per game (14.5).
Likewise, the Pack is all about the quarterback position as of late with Jordan Love. Green Bay has played an exciting, deep ball brand of football on offense as WR Christian Watson (49 catches, 879 yards, 7 TDs) and WR Matthew Golden (53-783-5) have emerged as one of the best duos in the league.
Their efforts have Green Bay on a 2-game winning streak, which most recently saw the Packers win in an offensive explosion in a 45-27 rout of the New England Patriots on the road last week. On home turf, the Packers will believe they can continue that against the Vikings' stout defense.
Green Bay's record against the spread (ATS) matches their 6-3 overall mark while the Packers are 3-6 on point totals. Minnesota is 4-4 ATS, and in a testament to their defense, the Vikings have hit the Over just once (1-7) this year. In Week 1, the Vikings beat the Packers at home in a 39-22 contest.

Vikings at Packers picks and predictions
Prediction
Vikings 27, Packers 20
Moneyline
BET VIKINGS (+125).
The Packers are fresh off an exciting win, but the NFL has a funny way of working like this. All eyes are going to be on the flashy players like the Cousins addition for the Vikings and the passing attack for the Packers. Where to look is in the trenches and Minnesota should win there and that could translate to the scoreboard.
The Vikings are fresh off holding the No. 1 offense in the NFL in the Bills to 23 points and they could do something similar in Green Bay by giving Love fits. Minnesota is tied for the league lead with 29 sacks thanks to their aggressive nature and the Packers offense has left plenty to be desired at times this year.
Against the spread
BET VIKINGS +3 (-118).
It's a close spread and the Packers at home move the needle in their direction. Taking the Vikings with 3 additional points is the safer and smart move if you're not fully confident in a win.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 42 (-110).
While a divisional contest could be tight and the numbers say otherwise this season, let's go Over with a low total this week.
Love and the Packers have proven they can put up points in a hurry. Even if that doesn't happen throughout the game against a strong Vikings defense, it will happen. On the flip side, we have some faith in the addition of Cousins for the Minnesota and let's call it what it is: A panic button move. The Vikings likely will toss Cousins into the deep end and not have him simply manage a game to the finish line.
Best prop bet
Vikings QB KIRK COUSINS OVER 232.5 PASSING YARDS (-114).
As mentioned, the Vikings added Cousins and did not bring him in to dink and dunk his way to wins. With back-to-back losses in recent weeks, Minnesota will have Cousins slinging it. Let's not forget, Cousins has past experience with the Vikings, too.
