1. NFL teams on upset alert in Week 11 – Green Bay Packers

The return of Aaron Rodgers from the COVID list was a successful one for the Packers, who topped Seattle 17-0 at a snowy Lambeau Field. Rodgers himself looked quite rusty but he was picked up by the Green Bay defense, which dominated Russell Wilson in his return to action.

The win also helped Green Bay stake its claim to the top seed in the NFC playoff picture thanks to a head-to-head tiebreaker over the Cardinals. The NFC North is also a one-team race right now with the Packers 3.5 ahead of the Minnesota Vikings, who they will play on the road this week.

FanDuel has set the Packers as 2.5 point favorites over a dangerous Vikings team that has fluctuated between dominant and disappointing all season long. Green Bay is also down Aaron Jones in this game after the running back suffered a knee injury on Sunday, leaving the running game in the hands of A.J. Dillon.

The Vikings know that their season is on the line this week and will give Green Bay everything they can handle in this game. If the Packers aren’t prepared to match that intensity they could easily leave Minnesota with a disappointing loss.
