The Green Bay Packers have been the kings of the NFC North for the better part of the last decade, but a new player has emerged in 2015: the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings (7-2 SU) have looked great this season and have particularly been strong for bettors, posting an 8-1 record ATS including an eight-game streak where they have covered the spread.
- The Vikings are 0-4 SU and ATS in their last four games in Week 11.
- The Packers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games.
- The total has gone UNDER in five of the Packers' last six games.
It seems as if no one can figure out what is going on in Green Bay right now. The Packers fell to the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers—two teams who were undefeated at the time, before returning to Wisconsin to face the lowly Lions. But the Packers (who closed as healthy 10.5-point favorites) laid an egg, falling to Detroit 18-16—the first time the Lions have topped the Packers at Lambeau Field since 1991.
Home field advantage has been crucial in recent contests between the NFC North rivals. Home sides are 7-2 SU in the last nine meetings between the clubs.
