Matchup Breakdown

How the model sees it unfold — the matchups that decide the game, from 50 simulations
Keys to the Game
  • Micah Parsons (Packers) vs Brian O'Neill (Vikings) - winner: Micah Parsons, winning 56% of reps for 4.4 sacks and 9.8 pressures a game - the disruptor that swings the pass game.
In the Trenches
  • Pressure could be scarce for the Packers — a 50% win rate, 6.1 sacks and 27.8 pressures a game (Micah Parsons (4.4 sacks, 9.8 pressures a game) the one to watch).
  • Don't expect much heat from the Vikings — a 51% win rate yields only 3.5 sacks and 20.0 pressures a game, Dallas Turner (2.0 sacks, 6.1 pressures a game) leading the way.
Through the Air
  • Christian Watson should find soft spots all day, open 54% of the time for 61 yds a game.
  • Justin Jefferson headlines the Vikings' receiving corps — 6.3 catches for 46 yds a game on 55% separation.
  • On the back end, Xavier McKinney (Packers) blankets his man, surrendering separation on just 31% of routes — and 0.1 picks a game.
On the Ground
  • Josh Jacobs carries the load for the Packers, 15 carries for 55 yds a game at 3.7 a carry, with his best work off right tackle.
  • The Vikings hand it to Aaron Jones early and often, 12 carries for 39 yds a game at 3.4 a carry, doing his damage off right tackle.
