One of the most interesting match-ups this week in my opinion has to be the Packers Vs. Vikings. With so many questions already looming over us regarding COVID-19 and the cancelling of preseason, how much more can the fans handle? Well buckle up, because you never know what you might get out of this Minnesota Vikings team. Kirk Cousins is about as predictable as COVID-19 and the CDC recommendations. Will the loss of Stephon Diggs put even more pressure on Kirk Cousins to perform? The questions continue to pile up, so here are some answers you can always bank on. The Vikings were ranked 10th in the NFL last year in defense, 15th in pass and 13th in run, respectively. While those are solid numbers on paper, the Vikings lost Trae Waynes (corner), Xavier Rhodes (Pro Bowl corner), and Mackenzie Alexander (Nickel corner). This is a huge loss, and to make things worse, they lost starting nose tackle Linval Joseph to free agency. Oh, and guess what… their back up nose tackle is sitting out due to COVID-19. Have a day Aaron Jones!! Although the pick up of Yannick Ngaoue was huge, it is just not going to be enough for the poor Vikings. Aaron Rodgers comes out with a fury despite not getting a first round WR pick, and shows Jordon Love he is still the man. Packers snag this +2.5 spread. Take this easy money while it lasts.
