Vikings at Packers picks: ‘Two teams headed in opposite directions’
Members of the Pioneer Press sports staff who cover the Vikings forecast Sunday’s game against the Packers in Green Bay, Wis.:
DANE MIZUTANI
Vikings 24, Packers 21
This is going to be closer than last week’s results for both teams might suggest. In the end, though, the Vikings win, because for the first time in 30 years, the Packers don’t have a hall of famer under center.
JOHN SHIPLEY
Vikings 27, Packers 19
Two teams headed in opposite directions. Confidence counts.
CHARLEY WALTERS
Vikings 31, Packers 21
Was that really Kirk Cousins beating the 49ers? And now the Packers in Green Bay? Suddenly, these Vikings are worth watching.
