The Wildcat returns for his 25th season in the Bettor’s Guide. Cat’s record in print stands at 652-562 (53.8 percent) against the spread.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS (+1.5) over Green Bay Packers
Outside of a loss to the Browns in the rain, Minnesota hasn’t dropped a game by more than four points this season. Aaron Rodgers appears on a mission, though home pup is a very tough out at prevailing performance levels. Look to the desperate team to reach new heights. Packers are striving for playoff seeding, but Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson, Dalvin Cook and the Vikings are chomping to make the party. Minny, for one unit.
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (+2.5) over Arizona Cardinals
QB Russell Wilson came back rusty, then proceeded to get shut out on the road by the Packers’ defense at Lambeau. We’ll grant Wilson a mulligan off that one, given the circumstances. Ex-CFL Winnipeg Blue Bomber QB Chris Streveler now comes favored against these ’Hawks, barring the swift return of QB Kyler Murray. Cards staff is bullish about Streveler’s upside, but we’ll grab the head start with Seattle, for one unit.
Last week: 2-0. Saints (W). Eagles (W).
Season: 11-8-1.
