Packers vs. Vikings Odds & Betting Predictions - January 1, 2024

Is this speculative? Yes. We don’t know much about Jaren Hall, or his rapport with Oliver. But Oliver figures to slide into the primary receiving role without Hockenson. And someone who has garnered 2+ targets in 9/15 games with Hockenson this season. Against the Packers who rate 28th in DVOA vs TEs (per FTN), and they are a bit banged up over the middle (no Campbell), I think this is worth a play. I have him at 18 yards.

Happy New Year y’all. Hope you have a safe and prosperous 2024

Both teams over in L2 - primetime unders are back

Exec Decision

Available at FanDuel. I've got the Packers favored straight up here, given all the injuries on the Vikings' side. Not only are they without Kirk Cousins, but it seems likely they also play this game without TJ Hockenson and Jordan Addison. The Vikings have played admirably through injuries this year, but at some point, that many dings hurting the passing offense will catch up to you. As for the Packers, they should be healthier this week than they were in their near-loss to the Panthers. Neither Jayden Reed nor Christian Watson was officially ruled out before the game, implying there's at least a chance they're able to get out there this week, and so, too, could Luke Musgrave. The Packers' defense is an abomination, and it's the biggest concern for me in taking them to win here. However, with the Vikings' offense so beat up, it's hard to tell if they'll be able to take advantage. I have the Packers as favored in this game, so +110 on the moneyline is an attractive offer.
