The Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings matchup on Sunday Night Football could have huge ramifications in the NFC playoff picture to close out Week 17. Both teams will be desperate for a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, but which players will we see celebrating finding the end zone?
With uncertainty surrounding the play of both offenses, this is a tough game to get a read on. However, our NFL betting experts are here to scour through the odds with their Packers vs. Vikings touchdown scorer bets for the final game of Week 17.
Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings Touchdown Scorer Bets
Ty Chandler (-102 at ESPN BET)
Ben Rolfe: I would be somewhat OK just not betting on any Vikings to find the end zone this week. However, I also just watched the Packers give up 30 points to the Carolina Panthers, which was not a great advert for their defense. Jaren Hall is an unknown quantity, and that terrifies me in the passing game.

The Packers have given up four rushing touchdowns to backs in the past four weeks and one receiving touchdown. Their best linebacker is De’Vondre Campbell, and he is unlikely to play. Therefore, I like Chandler to have the opportunity to find the end zone out of all of the Vikings’ options on the field this week.
Jayden Reed (+165 at DraftKings)
Kyle Soppe: The Vikings’ pass defense is trending up and teams have largely been unwilling to test them downfield. That doesn’t worry me when it comes to backing a player like Reed who is an offensive weapon that the Packers try to get in space by any means necessary (9.4 aDOT and 11 carries this season).
The rookie has six red-zone targets over his past four games and has caught 78.3% of his looks in December. Jordan Love can be sporadic as a passer, but he has shown a nice connection with Reed, and if the short-pass game is the focus, a trip to the end zone isn’t a bad bet.
Aaron Jones (+175 at ESPN BET) and AJ Dillon (+240 at ESPN BET)
Rolfe: It felt like the Green Bay Packers finally figured out how best to use their RBs. Aaron Jones was handling the bulk of the work in the middle of the field before they gave it to AJ Dillon down around the goal line. Dillon found the end zone for the first time since Week 5 last week, which seems crazy to say out loud.
This week he faces a Vikings defense that allowed three rushing touchdowns to the Detroit Lions last week. There is scope here for both Jones and Dillon to have value and the potential for both of them to score. Jones is a dynamic player getting back to full health, while Dillon has the body shape to be extremely effective around the goal line.
