Packers prediction for Week 17: Victory over Vikings

Kirk Cousins had a heck of a game when these two teams met earlier this season. The Packers constantly blitzed him, but the Vikings’ quarterback found ways to get the ball out quickly and into the hands of his wide receivers for big plays.

He won’t be so fortunate this time around. The Packers’ defense had multiple opportunities for turnovers in their first meeting, but failed to make the plays. They’ll capitalize this time around with revenge on their mind.

The Vikings are coming off a loss against the previously winless Lions–the type of game that can have franchise-altering consequences. I’m assuming they’ll be in a complete spiral and out of the playoff race altogether by this point. The Packers just have to kick them when they’re down.
