We’ve got a pivotal NFC North showdown between the Minnesota Vikings (3-0) and Green Bay Packers this Sunday, Sept. 29, at 1 p.m. ET.

The Vikings have been one of the biggest surprises so far, coming off a dominant win over the Texans. On the other side, the Packers won both games without Jordan Love, who is set to return this week.

Can Minnesota get to 4-0? Or will winning at Lambeau be too daunting of a task? See the latest Vikings vs Packers odds and check out my predictions and best bets for this NFL Week 4 matchup.

Vikings vs Packers Prediction

Packers 23, Vikings 20

Jordan Love should provide a major lift to the Packers offense. While Malik Willis did a good job, this was a run-heavy group with the former Titan under center. With Love back, this should be an effective passing game once again.

While it’s incredible what the Vikings’ defense has done under Brian Flores so far — shutting down both the 49ers and Texans in consecutive weeks — this feels like a letdown spot.

Both of those Vikings’ wins were at home, but now they’ll have to win at Lambeau Field.

This should be a close game that comes down to the wire, but give me the Packers to pull it off at home.

Sportsbook Play of the Day

Vikings vs Packers Best Bets

Aaron Jones: Over 58.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

We’ve got the Aaron Jones revenge game against his former team here.

Jones has looked terrific this season, averaging 5.4 YPC, coming off a 102-yard game against the Texans.

This is an exploitable matchup vs the Packers, who were gashed on the ground by Saquon Barkley in Week 1.

We’re getting a reasonable bar at 58.5 rushing yards, so take the Over on Jones in our NFL bet of the day.

Under 44 Points (-112)

This has the look of a closely contested game that comes down to a late field goal.

We’re getting more than the key number of 43, so we hit this Under with a 23-20 game.

Both the Packers (10th in Pass EPA, 5th in Rush EPA) and the Vikings (5th in Pass EPA, 6th in Rush EPA) have been terrific on defense this year, so points could be hard to come by.
