The Green Bay Packers will leave Minneapolis with a victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 thanks to these three reasons.

It’s crazy to imagine, but Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season is basically here with the Green Bay Packers getting set to take on the Minnesota Vikings. Although it won’t be a “true” road game considering the emptiness of the Vikings’ stadium, it will still be a good test for a Packers’ squad coming off an impressive 13-3 campaign.

Heading into Year 2 under head coach Matt LaFleur, Green Bay is a team with clearly defined strengths and weaknesses, as they maybe, perhaps, somewhat overachieved a season ago. It will be interesting to see how this year goes if the ball doesn’t bounce their way as often as it did in 2019.

For now, there’s a whole season ahead of us so let’s take it one game at a time. As part of our weekly pre-game coverage at Dairyland Express, here are three reasons the Packers should be 1-0 after this week’s contest.
