Minnesota @ Green Bay
Team Totals: Packers 22.5, Vikings 19.5
The Vikings visit Lambeau Field on a short week after last Monday night’s loss to Buffalo shoehorning 38-year-old Kirk Cousins into the starting lineup against a surging Packers defense that’s allowed an average of 16.7 points over its last six games. I have full faith that Cousins will assimilate quickly — his history with Kevin O’Connell dates back to the 2017 Redskins and produced a combined 47:19 TD-to-INT ratio for the 2022-2023 Vikings — but I’m expecting tough sledding initially. I’m confidently teeing up Green Bay’s D/ST, especially after Cousins threw three picks in his last start with the Raiders. … Jordan Mason out-snapped Aaron Jones 23 to 17 and out-touched Jones 8 to 6 against the Bills. Yet the near-even backfield split and low-scoring nature of the Vikings’ offense renders both Mason and Jones undesirable flex options. (I also took the under on this game’s 42.5-point total.)
