The model gives Minnesota a 4.2-point margin at home, against a best AU line of MIN -0.5 at SportsBet (1.87), a 3.7-point edge on the spread that lands as a LEAN, short of the model's threshold. Green Bay's deep-right passing grades well against Minnesota's coverage (an EPA edge of +0.55), but Minnesota's own deep-left shots are the sharper matchup (an EPA edge of +0.49), and that's the driver behind the lean toward the home side. On the total, the model's 45.1 sits just 0.9 points under SportsBet's 46.5, a PASS. The rating carries a hand adjustment of 1.5 points for Kyler Murray as the established starter over the second-year option.

There's no 2026 form yet, so both ratings blend last season's numbers with the market's post-offseason view of each roster (the market anchor), scaled by roster continuity. This is analysis, not a tip, and the gap sits short of the 10-point bar the model wants before week 6. Historical early-season backtest claims are withheld from this display unless independently verified.

Recorded bets only. Published model selections and historical backtests are tracked separately.
Weeks 1 to 5 are published analysis-first while the current-season play sample is still small. Ratings lean more on prior-season performance, market anchors, roster continuity and supported manual adjustments until the 2026 sample grows. PLAY labels are model recommendations, not confirmation that a bet has been placed. Historical early-season backtest claims are withheld from this display unless independently verified.
