Week 1 at Minnesota Vikings

The Packers kick off the 2020 season with a bang. The Vikings finished second in the NFC North last season by finishing 10-6. After they beat the Packers in five of their previous seven games, Green Bay took both meetings last year including a 23-10 victory at U.S. Bank Stadium.

It will be interesting to see if fans allowed in Week 1, as that could make a huge difference. Playing in an empty stadium against their biggest rival would be a huge moral victory for the Packers. They’d still have to play the game, however, but it’s safe to say beating the Vikings would be a lot easier.

While Green Bay is largely the same team from a year ago, Minnesota’s defense has had a bit of a makeover; especially in their secondary. Aaron Rodgers will have a good chance to get off to a hot start to the season.
