Game Preview

Quarterback Kyler Murray makes his first regular-season start for Minnesota. He will lead a fantastic passing attack featuring All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and tight end T.J. Hockenson. Now, there’s also Aaron Jones at RB, and knowing that Murray likes to run as well, this offense could be interesting.

Defensively, coordinator Brian Flores doesn’t have high-profile names on his roster. But we all know him as a guy who knows how to develop players, so he could make this unit click.

Green Bay will be without starting running back Josh Jacobs and defensive star Micah Parsons to begin the year. This is a huge blow for the Packs, no matter Matt LeFleur’s creativity.

Their receiving corps is significantly changed. Wicks and Dubs are out, so there will be more targets for Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden. Even so, we are sure that won’t be an issue for Green Bay, because LeFleur surely prepared for this.

Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings Predictions

Vikings are in a better situation, even though they have a new starting QB. Packers are in trouble without their leading runner and rusher, plus without two receivers from last year; therefore, Minnesota has far more favorable chances to win.
