Los Angeles Rams at Green Bay Packers, 2:25 p.m. Arizona Time
Gregg Rosenthal (NFL.com) – Rams win 31-28: The Packers have overcome injuries all year, and Aaron Rodgers is coming off his best performance of the season, so I’m losing my nerve as I type this, but the Rams are catching Green Bay at the right time.
Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) – Pick: Packers win 30-24 and cover the spread.
Pete Prisco (CBS Sports) – Pick: Packers 31, Rams 24
Minnesota Vikings at San Francisco 49ers, 2:25 p.m. Arizona time
Gregg Rosenthal (NFL.com) – 49ers win 28-24: That’s the best recipe to beat a Vikings squad that is at its best defending the pass. In other words, it’s a bad week for Vikings run stopper Dalvin Tomlinson to be out
Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) – Pick: 49ers win 31-27 and cover the spread.
Pete Prisco (CBS Sports) – Pick: 49ers 27, Vikings 26
So the experts like the 49ers to win and the Packers seem to be the slight favorites.
