NFL Week 17 picks: Why you should consider Lions, Panthers and Colts
Lorenzo Reyes is back with his three best bets ahead of Week 17 games. Find out why he likes the Lions, Panthers and Colts to cover the spread.
Two NFC North playoff teams will meet again in a heavyweight fight before the playoffs with the Green Bay Packers (11-4) facing the Minnesota Vikings (13-2).
Green Bay made sure it clinched its playoff spot in dominating fashion with the first shutout of the NFL season. The Packers have done their work against bad teams, now they seek a victory against a team with one of the best records in the league.
The remarkable season in Minnesota continues with an eight-game winning streak and the No. 1 seed in the NFC is still possible. The Vikings don’t have much room for error, but it’s still been an incredible ride and it can continue with another win against the team from the neighboring state.

Lorenzo Reyes: Vikings 25, Packers 21
I’ve been dubious of the Vikings throughout this season, expecting Sam Darnold to eventually fall off. Minnesota has proven me wrong time and time again, and their track record should give them some benefit of the doubt, even in a huge NFC North showdown like this.
Tyler Dragon: Packers 27, Vikings 24
The Vikings are the most overlooked and underappreciated 13-2 team in recent NFL history. A loss to the Packers won’t change that. Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs lead the Packers to victory.
Richard Morin: Packers 28, Vikings 27
The Packers might be the most underrated team in football right now. This would be a huge divisional win for them, and I think they get it done.
Jordan Mendoza: Vikings 29, Packers 28
This game is a toss-up and a case could be made for either team. However, Minnesota has been excellent at home and the crowd will likely be in a frenzy for this one. A game that goes down to the final seconds ends in a Minnesota win.
