Preview
It seems like every year one of these two teams in what has been called the Black and Blue Division wins the title and this season that is what the experts say as well. Both teams won their opening games and did it in their own style. The Vikings won on two defensive scores and the Packers on the arm of Rodgers. The oddsmakers opened with a line of Green Bay -1, but the line has since been bet up a point or two, and with 77% of the public behind Green Bay according to Covers.com consensus analysis we can see why the line may have moved. The total hasn’t moved that much but some have it at 43.5 and the 60% of the public think it should go over. Whatever happens Sunday it’s a good bet both of these teams will be in the playoff hunt at the end of the year and maybe like last season the final meeting between these teams will decide the division winner.
