This will likely be a close game. Packers.com indicates that of the past 21 regular-season meetings in Minnesota between the teams, 14 have been decided by single digits. And of the past 44 regular-season meetings between the teams, 26 of those games have been decided by seven points or less.

The two teams have split the season series in each of the last four years (2020-23), marking the longest stretch in series history. Last season, each team won on the road.

For the fourth straight season and the fifth time in the last six years, the Packers finish the regular season with back-to-back NFC North contests. After the game in Minnesota, Green Bay returns home to face the Bears in the season finale on a date and time to be determined.
