Vikings vs. Packers: Odds, Point Spread, Over-Under
The Green Bay Packers’ disconcerting 38-8 defeat at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday wasn’t one of those instances. “But I have confidence in those guys and myself that when it matters for all of the marbles we’re going to show up”.

“We obviously want our best players out there and to play to win the game and win the division and have the home playoff game (for the first round)”, McCarthy said. But these statistics aren’t representative of an MVP player: Rodgers was 15 of 28 passing for 151 yards with one touchdown, one interception, two fumbles lost (both returned for touchdowns) and a 66.2 passer rating. The Vikings are at No. 5 as the wild card with a 10-5 record.
“They’re very good”, McCarthy said of the Cardinals, “and we played poor”. With contributions from Dwight Freeney, Calais Campbell and Kareem Martin, among others, they smashed Rodgers repeatedly and forced multiple fumbles.
By the time Karim Martin leveled Rodgers, the ball popped loose, and 6-foot-4, 318-pound Cory Redding followed a convoy 36 yards for the score, it was 31-0 with 9:34 to play. The Vikings’ pass rush will be keeping a close eye on this week’s injury report coming from Green Bay. This is a division game, against a bitter rival, on the road, in prime time, for the division championship, and against a team that beat the Vikings handily last month at home.
“The guy said, ‘Are you a Packers fan?’ I said, ‘Yes, I am, ‘” Wolf recounted in a phone conversation after he and wife, Edie, had finished the first of their three planned presidential library visits.
The nine sacks were the most for the Cardinals since they had 10 against Philadelphia on December 7, 1986, two years before the franchise moved to Arizona.
It means that the victor of the Week 17 match-up will win the division and the No. 3 seed in the 2016 NFC Playoffs. Even if the Seahawks were to beat the Cardinals, they would lose a tiebreaker with Green Bay for playoff seeding by virtue of the Packers’ head-to-head victory over Seattle in Week 2.
“There’s Arizona and Seattle and Green Bay and Carolina”. “You can’t just turn it on when you get there”. Palmer had a pass intercepted for the first time in four games. James Jones debuted a hoodie and re-emerged with six catches for 109 yards and a touchdown after having only 89 receiving yards in the previous four games.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers hit a low point against the Denver Broncos in Week 8, completing 14 of his 22 passes for 77 yards.
The Packers will likely be without their starting offensive tackles again this week, but at least will not be facing a defense as strong as Arizona’s is.
Following that flub, Palmer regained composure on his next series, arcing a lovely 47-yarder to Floyd and tacking on two more completions, ultimately nailing the electric John Brown in the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown, making it 17-0 before the half.
Sometimes things aren’t quite as bad as they may seem at first when you put on the film after a disappointing performance or bad loss.
There was a chance going into the finale that the Cardinals, with a win and Minnesota loss, would capture the No. 2 seed and a bye. Peterson recorded his seventh 100-plus-yard rushing game of the season Sunday against the Giants, and he scored his 10 rushing touchdown of the year.

The Cardinals were playing without both of their starting safeties. Rashad Johnson missed his second game in a row with an ankle injury after being listed as questionable. Lovato, signed off the street after Brett Goode suffered a torn ACL against the Oakland Raiders, did not appear to have any problems with either Tim Masthay or Mason Crosby on Sunday.
