Dan Caesar’s Thursday night NFL pick

Kickoff: 5:25 p.m., CBS Records: Minnesota (2-2 overall, 1-1 road), Green Bay (2-2, 1-0 home) Line: GB by 8 1/2 O/U : 48

Synopsis: Green Bay finally got on track last week, as Aaron Rodgers followed up after urging skittish Packers fans to relax as he threw for 302 yards and four TDs in a dismantling of Chicago. He now works vs. Minnesota’s so-so pass ‘D.’ Meanwhile, Minnesota rookie QB Teddy Bridgewater engineered a 41-point outburst four days ago in an upset of Atlanta in his first NFL start but suffered an ankle injury and is questionable tonight. Pick: Packers 30-23
