Heading into this matchup we have the 1-5 Vikings traveling to Lambeau to take on the 5-1 Packers, at the surface, this seems like a LOCK in favor of Green Bay. However, it is important to consider the fact that the Packers have lost their last 6 games that have occurred the weekend of Daylight Savings Time. This game consists of a strong QB matchup between Kirk Cousins [O/U 0.5 Interceptions Thrown] and Aaron Rodgers [O/U 2.5 Passing Touchdowns.] Cousins currently leads the NFL in interceptions thrown, with 10 so far. This includes Cousins throwing for 3 INTS in a loss to the Falcons last game and has managed to hit the over in interceptions on his player prop betting line, in 5 of the 6 games he has participated in. On the other hand, we have Aaron Rodgers who ranks third in the NFL in touchdowns thrown. Rodgers threw for 4 touchdowns in a win vs. the Texans last week and his the over in touchdowns thrown on his player prop betting line in 3 of the last 4 games.
Both teams here have very strong skill players, the visiting Vikings are led by Adam Thielen [O/U 4.5 Receptions] who has hit the over on receptions in his player prop betting line in 2 of the last 3 games. Dalvin Cook [O/U 0.5 Rushing Touchdowns] is currently listed as questionable for this game but if he’s out there make sure to keep your eyes open. In the 5 games that Cook has played in this season, he has scored a touchdown each and every game while hitting the over on his player prop betting line. For the Packers it is WR Davante Adams [O/U 7.5 Receptions] leading their receiving core. Fortunately for Adams, he has Aaron Rodgers, who managed to help Adams record 13 receptions in a win over the Texans last week. Adams has hit the over in receptions on his player prop betting line twice this season, once being last week and the other in a Week 1 over the Vikings when he caught 13 receptions. Similarly to the Vikings, the Packers #1 RB is also listed as questionable in Aaron Jones [O/U 63.5 Rushing Yards.] When Jones has received 11 or more carries, he has hit the over onrushing yards in his player prop betting line all four games so far. This matchup is very much favored towards the home side in Green Bay, but with that being said it has been 7 years since the Packers have last won on Daylight Savings Weekend.
