#7 Aaron Jones, Green Bay Packers
Can somebody tell me how Aaron Jones was not selected for the Pro-Bowl? The man has rushed for over 1000 yards (1084) and scored 19 touchdowns this season - a league-high (tied with Panthers RB, Christian McCaffrey).
If that isn't Pro-Bowl standard, I'm not sure what is! Jones, himself, has been vocal regarding his omission from the All-Star Game, and had this to say earlier in the week,

"At this point, I'm used to being slept on: I just have to stop worrying about what other people think of me. I know what kind of player I am and I've done great this year. I'm proud of myself, so honestly at this point, what other people think, it doesn't bother me. I'm All-Pro in my opinion."
The last thing Vikings fans will want to hear is that Aaron Jones, a man who has lit up the NFL this year, is coming into the game with a point to prove, and we are expecting fireworks from the Packers' explosive nu 33 - he will score a TD at some point.
Betting Tips: Packers to win (10/21) with Aaron Jones scoring a TD at any time (8/15)
#8 D.K. Metcalf, Seattle Seahawks
Of course, the Seahawks will need QB- Russel Wilson to be at the top of his game on Sunday if they are to overcome the Packers - that's a given. However, rookie sensation D.K Metcalf is likely to have a big part to play, too.
The giant WR has a habit of making clutch plays at big moments in games, and he has rapidly become Wilson's go-to-guy when the chips are down, or when the Seahawks find themselves at third and long.
He's a huge, intimidating presence at WR and his power enables him to make crucial gains after contact - something the Seahawks are going to be reliant on as they bid to grind down a resolute Packers defense. Expect Metcalf to come out on top - he usually does.
Betting Tip: This one is too close to call. I've gone with a Packers win above but if you fancy spreading your bets, why not have a punt on a Seahawks win (7/4) with Metcalf to score the final touchdown of the game (10/1)
