4* Free Week 8 NFL Betting Prediction: Minnesota +1
Wrong team favored, and you know it. Last season, teams that were favored against the spread, went on to cover at a rate of just 44.6%.
Did you watch that game last night? Did you have the Vikings +7 to cover on that one? Well this guy did! And the Vikings did not disappoint at all. This is a team that is going to get going now. That was a season defining win…and you know it!
Cousins was 35/45 for 378 yards with two touchdowns and one INT. It was a damn good 22-17 hard earned win over the 49ers on Monday night. He averaged 8.4YPA and looks like he has solid chemistry with Hockenson, Addison, and Osborne. It was his 4th 300 yard effort this season.
Now, he gets the Packers.
Are the Packers and Jordan Love scaring anyone? Let me answer that. NOPE. Love hardly throws the ball down the field. The Pack don’t trust him, and neither do I. I’m not sure he’s a TOP 20 QB in the league right now.
I like the value in grabbing the Vikings at +1 in their matchup vs. the Packers.
Minnesota are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games on the road.
If you’re looking for a pick on the over/under, the data we have suggests this game finishing below 42.5 points.
For this game, my money is on the under.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 games in a row for the Vikings.
