The Vikings have already clinched the NFC North title and are looking to get home field advantage or at least a first round bye so that they would not need to leave their home state for the reminder of the playoffs as the Super Bowl is at their home field. Who would come out on top in this NFC North matchup on Saturday night? Let's find out! The Packers would start with the ball and the drive would result in a punt.
