Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packerswill kick off their 2020-21 NFL season today at 1:00 pm (ET) at U.S Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Here, you’ll find all there is to know about this exciting game: the match information, storylines, predictions, odds, and even how to watch the game.

Two of the biggest rivals in all sports will clash on a must-watch game when Aaron Rodgers and his Cheeseheads leave Lambeau Field to get their first win of the season vs. an impressive Vikings team.

Kirk Cousins has struggled to beat top-tier teams in the past but now features one of the most balanced offenses in the NFL, and taking down their lifelong rivals at home will certainly put his doubters at ease for now.

Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay Packers: Storylines

The Green Bay Packers didn’t do much – if anything – to surround Aaron Rodgers with more weapons. They used their first-round pick to get Jordan Love instead and raised a lot of questions about whether Rodgers will stay at Lambeau Field for much longer.

They also lost Bryan Bulaga and some claim they won’t be able to have as much success as they did last season. Then again, Rodgers has had the Vikings’ number for years and they beat them twice in 2019.

The Minnesota Vikings were forced to trade standout wideout Steffon Diggs to the Buffalo Bills last year, which puts even more pressure in Adam Thielen and Kirk Cousins in the passing attack.

However, they should be fine in the ground as long as Dalvin Cook stays healthy, as the Packers struggled against the run for most of last season. Notably, they’ll also have to do a better job at protecting Kirk Cousins, who was sacked multiple times every time they faced the Packers last year.
