As of Saturday evening, 78 percent of those betting this game were backing the Packers. 

In recent years, Green Bay has dominated Minnesota, winning 6 of 7, however, the Packers are only 6-4 in their last 10 matchups against the Vikings.  More importantly though, all but one of those recent wins managed to cover the current number.

All things being relevant, the Packers should have little trouble covering here either even though they are on the road. 

Christian Ponder returns for Minnesota following five interceptions and only two touchdowns after the Josh Freeman experiment seems to have ended, at least for the time being.  Adrian Peterson (115 carries, 511 yards, five TDs) has a hamstring injury and sat out practice on Wednesday, though he is listed as probable for Sunday night’s game.

The Packers have allowed less than 85 rushing yards in each of their last four games and rank third in the NFL in rushing defense (79 per game).  Through six games, the Packers are gaining 134.7 rushing yards per contest and 4.9 yards per carry.  This is a vast improvement over last year’s 106.3 rushing yards per game and 3.9 yards per rush. Packers starting QB Aaron Rodgers threw for 260 yards and three scores in Green Bay's victory over Cleveland last week.

Versus division opponents over the past three seasons, Green Bay is an incredible 12-2 Against The Spread.  In other words, they have covered 86 percent of the time when playing their division rivals.
