Week 17 Opening Odds: Packers are underdogs to Vikings on New Years’ Eve

will be heading to the Twin Cities to take on the Minnesota Vikings (-1.5) this New Year’s Eve. According to the oddsmakers over at DraftKings, the Vikings have opened as the 2-point favorites in their plastic-roofed stadium that’s known for being named after a Delaware-incorporated bank and for killing birds.

This isn’t exactly a “must-win” game for Green Bay, but it’s about as close as you can get to one. Should the Packers fail to claim victory over the Vikings, their odds of making the playoffs drop to around 2%.

The Packers have only amassed a record of 2 and 6 against the spread while on the road this year.
