Even the Minneapolis papers seem to agree that this one is tilted in Green Bay's favor. Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
Recent evidence appears to be in the Packers' favor. Both the Vikings' Brad Childress and Green Bay's Mike McCarthy took over as coaches in 2006, when the Vikings led the series 45-44-1.
Since then, McCarthy is 5-0 against Childress, 25-15 overall and led his team to a 13-3 record and the NFC Championship Game last season. Childress has yet to have a winning season with the Vikings and is 18-22 overall.
While we would love to see Green Bay as a +3 or bigger underdog, we here at Gambling911.com are still liking the Packers in this spot as +2 ½ underdogs and that is one of our picks for this week. Be sure to check out Gambling911.com here for free picks throughout the day EVERY DAY.
