Pros

  • Given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Minnesota Vikings to pass on 62.3% of their chances: the 5th-highest clip among all teams this week.
  • Accounting for their underlying propensities and game dynamics, the Minnesota Vikings are forecasted by our trusted projection set to call 66.3 plays on offense in this contest: the 6th-most on the slate this week.
  • The leading projections forecast Kirk Cousins to attempt 38.8 passes in this game, on balance: the most among all quarterbacks.
  • When talking about pocket protection (and the positive impact it has on all passing game metrics), the O-line of the Vikings ranks as the 3rd-best in football this year.
  • Kirk Cousins’s 233.0 adjusted passing yards per game this year conveys a significant reduction in his passing skills over last year’s 264.0 mark.
Cons

  • The Vikings have run the 9th-fewest plays in football this year, averaging a lowly 56.1 plays per game.
  • This year, the stout Packers defense has conceded a feeble 213.0 adjusted yards per game through the air to opposing QBs: the 8th-best in football.
  • As it relates to cornerbacks in defending pass-catchers, Green Bay’s unit has been exceptional this year, ranking as the 4th-best in the NFL.
