Jordan Love Injury Update: How Packers QB’s Return Alters Odds vs. Vikings

Packers quarterback Jordan Love is expected to play against the Vikings in Week 4, despite suffering a sprained MCL three weeks ago, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Green Bay listed Love as inactive for each of the past two games. Backup Malik Willis has led the Packers to wins in both contests, despite being acquired just ahead of the start of the regular season.

The Vikings originally opened Sunday's matchup as two-point favorites when odds became available mid-September. But the line has moved to favor the Packers, who will be playing their second home game of the season.

Green Bay is currently favored by three points. The announcement of Love's imminent return seems to have only had a marginal initial impact on who Vegas is backing.

The Packers started the year among the top-10 betting favorites to win Super Bowl 59, but plummeted following Love's injury. They currently have the ninth-best future odds (+1800) of winning the championship and are listed third to win the NFC North (+310) this season.
