Summary:
Green Bay is charging towards the playoffs having won four straight games averaging 29 points per game during their streak. Minnesota is really playing poorly losing seven of their last nine games. They were embarrassed 34-6 by the Colts at home last week. The good news for Minnesota is that star running back Adrian Peterson has finally returned from a knee injury suffered early in the season. Peterson was largely ineffective against Indianapolis rushing six times for only 22 yards. Minnesota’s defense is their calling card and they have allowed an opponent to exceed 24 points just twice all season. Green Bay is (6-1-3) against Minnesota in their last ten head to head games. Green Bay is clicking on all cylinders right now so I like them to beat Minnesota.
