Patriots vs Packers Vegas Game Preview & Betting odds

It’s the midway point of the season and the Patriots are rolling the way they usually do. New England had a tough fight on Monday night in Buffalo, but they eventually managed to win their fifth straight game. They are now 6-2 and hold a two-game lead at the top of the AFC East.

However, the Patriots will play a challenging schedule from here on out. After hosting the Packers on Sunday, the Pats will play four of their next five games away from home. That stretch includes tough games against the Vikings and Steelers. Also, keep in mind that New England will have to catch up to the Chiefs if they want home-field advantage in the playoffs, so they still have a lot of work ahead of them.

The Packers, on the other hand, are still trying to find their footing in 2018. They sit at 3-3-1 and have failed to win back-to-back games all season. On the bright side, they’ve yet to lose back-to-back games this year, a streak that could be in jeopardy this week after Green Bay lost to the Rams last week.

Fortunately for the Packers, they play in a division in which no team has been able to gain separation. Just one game separates first place from last place in the NFC North, meaning the Packers have a great chance to win the division if they can start stringing some wins together. However, with three of their next four games on the road against teams that currently have winning records, Green Bay will have to prove that they can beat quality teams, something they’ve struggled to do this year.

Vikings Saints Point Spread

To be honest, I think the Patriots are going to win this game. But there’s no denying that the Packers need this game more. That leads me to believe that Rodgers will be at his best, especially on national TV with Brady on the opposite sideline. I don’t know if Rodgers will do enough to lead Green Bay to a win, but I think he’ll do enough to beat the 5.5-point spread.

Green Bay’s inconsistency aside, Rodgers has been outstanding this season. Lost among performances by Drew Brees and Pat Mahomes is Rodgers throwing 13 touchdown passes to just one interception. Even with his knee at less than 100%, Rodgers is getting the job done regardless of the opponent. With the duo of Rodgers and Davante Adams on the field, the Packers have a puncher’s chance to win every game they play.

The key for Green Bay is getting just enough from the running game to keep teams from getting too many hits on Rodgers. Against the Patriots, running the ball also means keeping Brady on the sidelines. Things have been looking up since Aaron Jones returned from his suspension. However, he’s still not getting enough touches. The Packers may want to establish Jones early so they can shorten the game and put Rodgers in a position to work some late-game magic.

At times this season, the New England defense has been vulnerable against good quarterbacks. Obviously, the Pats had no problem limiting the Bills last week. But even in some of their wins, they gave up a lot of points against the likes of Mahomes, Andrew Luck, and even Mitchell Trubisky.

The ability to create takeaways has saved the New England defense at times. However, that’s not something they can count on happening against Rodgers. If the Packers can generate some semblance of a running game and provide decent protection up front, Rodgers has a chance to have a special game.

Of course, the Packers are also going to need a little help from their defense in this game. If you take away their shutout of the Bills, Green Bay has given up at least 29 points in every game since Week 2. That doesn’t exactly bode well the way the New England offense has lit up the scoreboard over the past month. Even if the Packers can get a handle on the New England running game, they face an uphill battle against Brady and company.

All things considered, this game could end up being a shootout being Rodgers and Brady, as it should be. I won’t deny that the Patriots are the better team. But we’ve seen Rodgers work his magic late in games this season. Against the New England defense, he has a chance to do so again, which is why I’m going to lean toward the Packers to at least keep this game close and beat the spread.

The Minnesota Vikings are fighting for their playoff lives, the New
England Patriots are fighting for playoff position, and when the two
teams tango on Saturday in a big NFC-AFC battle at Gillette Stadium
the entire game will be overshadowed by one overbearing storyline
will Brett Favres consecutive starts streak come to an end this Sunday?

With two fractures in his left foot the legendary Favre will be a
game-time decision on Sunday in New England if hell be able to play.
He hurt his foot in last weeks 28-24 loss to the NFC rival Green Bay
Packers, throwing three interceptions and giving the Packers a pick-
six before nearly rallying the Vikings to a late come-from-behind
victory.

The Patriots enter the game on Sunday afternoon with a four-game
winning streak after scoring a big 23-20 victory over the
dysfunctional San Diego Chargers on the road in California last
weekend. With only 189 yards of total offense in the game the Pats
were still able to forge a 23-6 lead early in the final quarter, then
barely held on as the Chargers rallied for 17 late points to make it
a field-goal game.

Despite the uncertain status of the quarterback Favre, oddsmakers in
Las Vegas are still confident enough to release a point spread for
the game, opening it with New England as 6-point favorites. There are
a few online sportsbooks that have lowered the number down to New
England minus -5, but with most of the betting public taking a wait
and see approach to this game the number is sitting right in the 5 to
5.5 range.

The over/under total opened at 44 and is still listed at that number
on most boards, with the exception of BetUS.com offshore and the
Hilton in Las Vegas, who have both lowered it down the hook to 43.5.

Handicapping the Vikings offense with the prospects of Favre not playing isnt all that different than capping it with Favre. For
three quarters last week Favre was the gunslinger who hurt his team
with bad decisions and bad interceptions, a problem hes been having
all season (10 interceptions in 2010). But there was the glimmer of
hope he restored in the final minutes, which is why if he can go come
Sunday the Vikings have no choice but to hitch their hopes to the
Hall of Famer.

But Tarvaris Jackson will give the Vikings more mobility and a different look for New England to prepare for, which could help the
Vikings if/when Favre plays. Either way, Adrian Peterson and the
running game is still the backbone of the Vikings offense (136.2 ypg
7th), which wont change at all no matter who is standing behind
center.

The big problem with all of this doubt at quarterback is that on
paper at least the Vikings passing game could have a good chance to
finally click this week. With Randy Moss returning to New England,
and the Patriots pass defense being one of the weakest in the league
(282 ypg 30th), theres plenty of opportunity and motivation for
the Vikings this week.

The Patriots offense and quarterback Tom Brady will have their hands
full with a Viking defense that is playing better than their numbers
indicate (308.3 ypg 6th). With the Williams Wall (Pat and Kevin)
still playing at an above average level, Brady will have to try and
exploit the Vikings injury-depleted secondary that is giving up 209.2
yards per game (13th) and are down to rookie Chris Cook and mid-
season pickup Frank Walker at corner.

After only mustering 128 yards passing on 19-of-32 passing last week
in San Diego, theres plenty of room for improvement for Brady and
the Pats passing attack.

New England stomped the Vikings the last time these two met on the
field, winning a 31-7 decision back in October of 2006 as just 1-
point favorites in the Metrodome. But overall the head-to-head series
is nearly even with the Patriots holding a slim 3-2 SU edge while the
Vikings hold a slim 4-3 ATS edge all told.

Back in 2002 the Vikings came within a touchdown of springing the
upset, losing 24-17 as 8-point underdogs. But that flies in the face
of current trends, as the Vikings are just 1-6 ATS in their last
seven games away from the Metrodome.

The under is also forming a very strong betting trend of late,
covering in the last four meetings and five of the last seven.
