Pioneer Press staffers who cover the Vikings take a stab at predicting Sunday’s outcome against the Packers in Green Bay:
Dane Mizutani
Packers 24, Vikings 13: It’s going to be pretty hard to pick the Vikings to win any game until J.J. McCarthy shows massive improvement. He’s been the worst quarterback in the NFL by virtually every meaningful metric. It’s hard to argue with facts.
Jace Frederick
Packers 20, Vikings 14: The Vikings offense struggled at home against a horrible defense last week, so playing against Micah Parsons and Co. at Lambeau doesn’t figure to go well.
John Shipley
Packers 31, Vikings 18: We’ll see what the Vikings are made of emotionally on Sunday. Did the Bears loss break their spirit, or do they have some fight left? This has the makings of an ambush.
Charley Walters
Packers 27, Vikings 17: Look for Packers’ QB Jordan Love to wear out Vikings’ cornerbacks.
