The Vikings vs. Packers Week 8 NFL Picks NFL Betting spread is Green Bay -3.5 at Sportsbook.com.

Packers Offense vs. Vikings Defense: The Green Bay Packers are a high-flying unit with QB Aaron Rodgers throwing to a fleet of gifted wideouts.  Rodgers is a solid NFL signal-caller but his O-line is weak and Rodgers will have a rookie blocking his blind side against the NFL’s best pass-rusher in Minnesota DE Jared Allen. The Packers ground game led by RB Ryan Grant will be at a disadvantage against a Vikings run D that has two monster DT’s in the middle. This match-up is a wash. The Vikings vs. Packers Week 8 NFL Picks NFL Betting Total is at 47.0 points.

Vikings Offense vs. Packers Defense: The 3rd ranked Vikings offense led by All-Pro RB Adrian Peterson is a balanced unit with 40-year old QB Brett Favre playing very-good football. Favre could be without his #1 WR Bernard Berrian in this game but the reserves at wideout have proven themselves to be more than capable. The Packers 5th ranked defense has built up their stats a little bit against less than stellar offenses but they are a good squad nonetheless. Green Bay still has a propensity to give up big plays and that gives the Vikings a slight edge here.

Free Sports Picks Intangibles: The underdog is 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games. Minnesota beat Green Bay earlier in the season 30-23 as -4.5 home favorites. Minnesota has the edge on special teams.
