The MinnesotaVikings (3-0) and Green Bay Packers (2-1) will kick off NFL Week 4's Sunday afternoon slate. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. The game will be broadcast live on CBS and can be streamed on platforms like Paramount+ and YouTube TV.

The Packers are consensus 2.5-point favorites, with the game total sitting at 44.5 points. The spread has been bet down from Packers -5, while the total opened at 45. The Packers are -140 favorites on the moneyline, while Minnesota is +120 to pull off the upset and remain undefeated.

Injury update: Jordan Love is set to return to action after missing the Packers' last two wins, although Jaire Alexander is out. In Love's absence, Malik Willis and Josh Jacobs powered the Green Bay offense to two wins. Sam Darnold and Justin Jefferson have powered the Vikings offense to an impressive start. Now, Aaron Jones returns to Lambeau Field for a potential revenge game.

Let's get into my Vikings vs. Packers prediction and my NFL predictions for Week 4.

NFL Week 4 Preview

I know the trends tend to say you should fade 3-0 teams in this situation, but you’re saying right now that the Packers are more than one point better than the Vikings on a neutral field with this line. I’m simply not sure that’s the case.

Sam Darnold is doing his job, which is putting his playmakers in position to succeed. Justin Jefferson is incredible and is being schemed to get open very well so far this season. In the backfield, a motivated Aaron Jones may run wild all over his former team.

The Vikings defense has taken a step forward from last season under coordinator Brian Flores. Just look at what this unit did to C.J. Stroud last week, sacking him into oblivion and holding Houston to seven points.

Minnesota’s defense ranks No. 1 in DVOA, having just held the 49ers and Texans to a combined 24 points in back-to-back home wins. With Jordan Love back, I think this is a tough spot against a blitz-heavy defense that just dominated one of the league’s best young quarterbacks.

My pick on the Vikings isn’t as much doubting the Packers as it is betting on Minnesota. Coming into the season, more people were high on Green Bay because of the quarterback. Minnesota has upgraded everywhere else on the field, though.

We don’t know if Love is going to be 100% after missing just two weeks because of his MCL sprain. If he plays, he’s facing a healthy defense that’s firing on all cylinders. I think this is simply too many points, so I’m taking them with the Vikings.

Pick: Vikings +3
