Minnesota Looks to Climb the Ladder
Despite trailing for much of the game, the Vikings appeared to have stolen a win away from division-rival Chicago.

Packers Chasing the Top Spot in NFC North
The Green Bay Packers picked up a hard-fought win over the Giants on the road Sunday, but it came at a cost. Quarterback Jordan Love had to leave the game with a left shoulder injury, and starting running back Josh Jacobs left the game in the first half with a knee injury. Love was able to return and led the Packers to a go-ahead touchdown with four minutes left.
“It’s exactly what we needed,” said Love, who called the sore shoulder manageable and something he could play through. "We came in with the mindset it’s going to be a game — whatever it takes. We’ve got to find a way to go get a win and get us back on track. It’s never going to be pretty.
"It’s the NFL. You’ve got to find ways to go win these games."
Love finished the game 13-of-24 for 174 yards and two touchdowns. Malik Willis spelled Love in the first half and led the Packers to a touchdown drive.

In all, the Packers finished with 296 yards of total offense, including 128 yards on the ground. The Packers were an impressive 7-of-11 on third down conversions.

Vikings at Packers Pick
Point Spread Pick for Vikings at PackersÂ
- Packers -6 (4 units)
The Packers have a chance to put away the floundering Vikings on Sunday. The Vikings have lost four of five games, and QB McCarthy hasn’t looked sharp since returning. He won’t be helped by a leaky offensive line, especially with Packers’ DE Parsons starting to heat up. The Packers showed their depth on Sunday, with Wilson filling in nicely for Jacobs and Willis orchestrating a key drive to set up a touchdown. Several Packers’ receivers are listed as questionable, but expect them to be ready to go in this key divisional matchup. The Vikings' inability to protect the ball, ranked 31st in turnover margin, will prove particularly costly on the road. The Pack will be back on Sunday.

Over/Under Pick for Vikings at PackersÂ
- Under 41.5Â (4 units)
The Vikings’ offense has been a mess in recent weeks. They have failed to score at least 20 points in three of the last five games. They are just 22nd in the NFL in points per game and are below average in red zone trips this season. The Packers’ defense won’t help the Vikings’ cause. The Packers are sixth in the NFL in preventing the opposition from getting into the red zone. The Vikings have done a solid job of preventing touchdowns in the red zone, ranked fourth in the league. The Packers will win this one, but expect it to be low scoring.
