The Green Bay Packers will face the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, September 13, at 4:25 p.m. ET, marking the 132nd meeting between the NFC North rivals. The Week 1 season opener will take place at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Jordan Love is slated to start at quarterback for the Packers, while the Vikings will feature Kyler Murray. Carson Wentz and J.J. McCarthy are listed behind Murray on the Vikings' depth chart.
Last season, the Packers finished with a 9-8 record but missed the postseason. Oddsmakers are anticipating a close contest, with the Vikings holding a slight edge over the Packers. The Packers will be without star player Micah Parsons due to a knee injury.
Despite missing the playoffs last year, the Vikings have made notable offseason acquisitions. The Arizona Republic noted that Murray has a "plethora of weapons" in Minnesota and is expected to utilize his running ability to help secure a home victory against the Packers. The projected score for the game is 24-20 in favor of the Vikings.
