The Green Bay Packers enter week 13 off a traumatizing loss in the Bay Area, falling 37-8 to the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday night. But this week provides some opportunity for a rebound and for the Packers to extend out the lead in the NFC North division with a month to play.
The Packers face the 2-9 New York Giants on Sunday afternoon in a very winnable game that should give the team a chance to get back on track. However, the Minnesota Vikings — tied with the Packers on record at 8-3 — have a very difficult task ahead of them on Monday Night Football.
Minnesota heads to the Pacific Northwest this weekend, taking on the Seattle Seahawks on the road. Seattle sits at 9-2 on the season, with their only losses coming to other 9-2 teams in the Ravens and Saints. Interestingly, the Seahawks hold a five-game winning streak against the Vikings, with the last Minnesota win in the series coming back in 2009.
This week, APC’s picks project the Packers to get that full one-game lead back, predicting a Packers victory and a Vikings loss over the weekend. That would be a huge pickup for the Packers, particularly with the two teams playing one another in week 16 — also on Monday Night Football.
Here are APC’s full picks for week 13.
