Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers NFL Week 4 Betting Analysis (09-29-2024)

So far, the Minnesota Vikings are one of the big betting on NFL surprises. The Vikings are undefeated, having moved on from Kirk Cousins. San Darnold has proven to be an upgrade over Cousins. Now, the question is if the hot start can last. On Sunday, the Vikings will have their toughest matchup of the season. The Green Bay Packers are 2-1 and won two playoff games in 2023. Last week, the Packers routed the Tennessee Titans on the road. And they did so without starting QB Jordan Love.

Minnesota Vikings Team Overview

Last game, the Minnesota Vikings won 34-7 against the Houston Texans as 1.5-point home favorites. The game went under the online wagering total of 46.5. Minnesota has a record of 3-0 straight up, 3-0 against the spread, and 0-3 over/under the total. Minnesota ranks 12th for total offense, 13th for passing, 14th for rushing, and 3rd for scoring. Defensively, they rank 14th overall, 27th against the pass, 2nd against the rush, and 2nd for points allowed. Also, Minnesota ranks 22nd for fewest turnovers lost and 3rd for takeaways.

Sam Darnold matched his career high with four touchdown passes. The undefeated Vikings intercepted CJ Stroud twice and sacked him four times in a 34-7 victory over the Texans. Darnold connected with Jefferson and Aaron Jones for scores in the first quarter. Subsequently, in the second half, he delivered a touchdown to Jalen Nailor for the third straight game. Additionally, he got Johnny Mundt one, too.

Jones rushed 19 times for 102 yards and caught five passes for 46 yards for the Vikings, who were a trendy pick for last place in the NFC North but have beaten back-to-back contenders to start their home slate against San Francisco and Houston. This was Minnesota’s largest winning margin in five years. In sum, Darnold went 17 for 28 for 181 yards without a turnover. And the 2018 third-overall draft pick also tied his career-best with a three-game winning streak as a starter.

Green Bay Packers Team Overview

Last game, the Green Bay Packers won 30-14 against the Tennessee Titans as 3-point road dogs. The game went over the total of 37.5. Green Bay has a record of 2-1 straight up, 2-1 against the spread, and 2-1 over/under the total. Green Bay ranks 5th for total offense, 20th for passing, 1st for rushing and 6th for scoring. Defensively, they rank 20th overall, 22nd against the pass, 11th against the rush, and 13th for points allowed. Also, Green Bay ranks 6th for fewest turnovers lost and 1st for takeaways.

Certainly, a change of scenery and an injury gave Malik Willis a huge opportunity to show what he can do in the NFL. Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur said people truly can’t fathom what the third-year quarterback has done in less than a month with the Packers. To illuminate, Willis ran for a touchdown and threw for a score in his best performance as a pro. Willis accounted for 134 of the Packers’ 137 yards in the first quarter. He finished with 202 yards passing and 73 rushing.
