Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings prediction, odds and picks - November 21, 2021 | NFL Week 11

NFC North rivals the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings face off at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday.

The Packers are coming off an incredible defensive performance against the Seattle Seahawks. Green Bay's defense pitched a perfect game last week, blanking Russell Wilson for the first time in his career. Aaron Rodgers returned to the lineup after missing the Week 10 clash due to COVID-19 and looked slightly rusty.

The Vikings ended their two-game losing streak with a 27-20 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. Quarterback Kirk Cousins had a great outing, throwing for 297 yards and two touchdowns. Minnesota's defense limited Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert to just 195 yards passing in a much-needed win.

Aaron Rodgers returned last week after missing the Packers' Week 9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Expect Rodgers to throw for over 275 yards passing and two touchdowns on Sunday.

Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings prediction

The Packers' defense is one of the most underrated units in the league. They have stifled some outstanding offenses all season long without getting much credit. They will have another dominant showing against the Vikings, while Rodgers and co. will score enough points to put the Vikings away.

Prediction: The Packers win by one score.
