Happy New Year’s Eve! For those like me who have no big plans and are too tired to go out, there’s a divisional showdown matchup featuring the Packers vs. Vikings for Sunday Night Football. Both of these teams are fighting for their playoff lives, so this should be an incredibly exciting rivalry game for Minnesota and Green Bay.

PrizePicks Plays: Packers vs. Vikings

Aaron Jones – 16.5 Receiving Yards

The Vikings blitz more than any other team in football, so it could be a big day for Aaron Jones out of the backfield. Some quick outlet and screen passes will be necessary for Jordan Love to keep himself off the ground tonight. Jones projects for 23 receiving yards in the RotoGrinders projections, a nice differential from his number on PrizePicks. He has a 64.5% win rate in the NFL Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks and is my favorite DFS Pick’em prediction of the night.

Play: Jones – More Than 16.5 Receiving Yards

Romeo Doubs – 3.5 Receptions

Without Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed are the undisputed top-two targets for Jordan Love in the receiving corps. Tonight, he not only projects for 4.23 receptions in the RotoGrinders projections but also has at least 4 receptions in 4 of his past 6 games. The Packers are slight underdogs in this one, so there’s at least a favorable chance of a positive game script for Doubs. He has a 62.74% win rate in the NFL Fantasy Pick’em Tool for PrizePicks and slots just behind Aaron Jones among my favorite NFL PrizePicks predictions tonight.

Play: Doubs – More Than 3.5 Receptions

Greg Joseph – 7.5 Fantasy Points

It’s never overly exciting selecting a kicker on PrizePicks, but it does make it much more fun when teams have to settle for field goals. Joseph has a higher projection than we’re used to seeing for kickers, as the RotoGrinders projections expect him to have a median score of 9.39 fantasy points tonight. Divisional games typically are lower-scoring and competitive, so Joseph is likely to be heavily involved, as points may come at a premium.

Play: Joseph – More Than 7.5 Fantasy Points

Additional PrizePicks Predictions:

Jordan Love – More Than 8.5 Rushing Yards
Justin Jefferson – More Than 82.5 Receiving Yards
Jayden Reed – More Than 0.5 Touchdowns (Demon Payout Boost)
