Two parts of the NFC North’s three-headed monster do battle on Sunday afternoon, as the Minnesota Vikings host the Green Bay Packers.
The pregame narrative: A pair of running backs provide the backbone for my +310 SGP, as I’m looking for both Josh Jacobs and Aaron Jones to make a positive impact. A teased-down over rounds out the ticket.
Check out my Packers vs. Vikings same-game parlay predictions for Week 14 below.

Parlay: Over 42.5 points + Jacobs anytime TD + Jones over 88.5 rushing/receiving yards (+310)
Over 42.5 points (-250): Whether you’re hip to the Toyotathon memes or not, just know that Jordan Love has the Packers’ offence revved up right now.
Green Bay has scored 30-plus points in five straight games, and this over is 4-1 in that span.
Minnesota has hit this over in four of its past five games, too, with an average total of 51.6 points.
Back in September, these teams combined for 60 points in a narrow victory for the Vikings. They’re now 7-2 against this number in matchups since the 2020 season.
Other parlay picks
Jacobs anytime TD (-177): Jacobs has enjoyed a Pro Bowl-calibre season, which includes a career-high 14 touchdowns in 15 games.
He’s a workhorse in the red zone, justifying a hearty workload with ample success.
Check out Jacobs’ productivity since Week 8:
- 12 TDs
- 1+ TDs in 7/8 games
- 2+ carries inside the 5-yard line in 5/8 games
- 3.4 carries/game inside the 10-yard line
Jacobs didn’t score against the Vikings in their Week 4 meeting, and he didn’t touch the ball even once inside the 10-yard line on that day.
But throughout the season, Green Bay has altered its red zone identity. Jacobs is now at the centre, and he’ll have a great chance to score.
Jones over 88.5 rushing/receiving yards (-113): Round 1 of Jones’ revenge opportunity against the Packers went really well, and I think he can produce again.
Jones, who spent seven seasons in Titletown, put up 139 scrimmage yards on 26 touches his first time facing Green Bay.
That included four catches for 46 yards, and it’d be no surprise to see Jones capitalize as a receiver again. The Packers have allowed the sixth-most receiving yards per game to opposing RBs.
Touchdowns have been tricky to come by for Jones this season, but he’s still churning for big yardage.
He’s cashed this bet in nine of 15 games while averaging 92.9 yards.
