This is the Pack-A-Day podcast.

Welcome back, everybody, to the Sunday edition of the Pack-A-N-Day podcast.

0:26.5

I'm Mark Echko.

0:30.5

I'm joined by Gage Bridgford, and we're getting ready for Sunday night football between the border war of the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings, a game

0:35.7

that by the time the Packers take the field tonight, Gage,

0:39.5

they may know, depending what happens with the Cowboys and Cardinals, that if they win, they wrap up the number one seat in the NFC.

0:47.4

So, interesting day of football ahead of us and capped off by the Packers taking on the Vikings tonight.

0:53.4

A little bit of a revenge game as well for the Packers since the Vikings beat them earlier

Tuesday, was a round a minus 280 favorite,

1:46.4

favored by about six and a half to seven, depending on what sports book you were looking at.
