Vikings favoured over Packers in NFC North Week 1 opener
Minnesota are listed as 1.5-point home favourites against Green Bay, with Kyler Murray set to start at quarterback.
The Green Bay Packers will visit the Minnesota Vikings in an NFC North Week 1 game broadcast on CBS and Paramount+, according to CBS Sports. The supplied material does not confirm a date or kickoff time.
Minnesota are listed as 1.5-point home favourites, with the over/under set at 46.5 points in the latest DraftKings odds cited by CBS Sports.
The Vikings are expected to start Kyler Murray at quarterback, while Green Bay are set to begin the season without running back Josh Jacobs and defender Micah Parsons. MarShawn Lloyd is projected to take on a larger role in the Packers’ backfield, while tight end Tucker Kraft is trending towards availability.
The teams finished close together in the 2025 standings, with Green Bay going 9–7–1 and Minnesota 9–8. The Packers will rely heavily on Jordan Love after an inconsistent 2025 season, while retaining a talented receiving group.
Minnesota continue to feature wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, and their defence reportedly ranked third in the NFL for yards allowed per game last season.
The SportsLine Projection Model gives Minnesota a 60 per cent simulated chance of winning. That figure is a model projection rather than a result, and player availability and betting lines may change before the game.
