NFL System Pick of the Week
October 22nd 2010 - by Computer            

In this article, we let our computer pick this week's football game. Our computer crunched all the betting statistics for wildcard week and made a prediction based on trends that favored a particular team. The computer analyzed several angles in this week's matchup between the Vikings and Packers.

Let's take a look at all the angles/trends:
 

›	The Vikings are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 meetings in Green Bay.
	Aaron Rodgers has never beaten his mentor. The Vikings covered both games last season winning by 12 points in Lambeau.
›	The Packers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite.
	The Packers were chosen by many as a team that would represent the NFC in the Super Bowl this year. However, they have not lived up to that reputation so far this season mostly due to key injuries.
›	The Vikings are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. NFC North
	Meanwhile the Packers are only 3-4 ATS in their last 7 games against divisional opponents

All the trends point towards the Vikings covering against the Packers.
