The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings are set to get their seasons underway with a Week 1 NFC North matchup. Kickoff on Sunday, Sept. 11, from U.S. Bank Stadium is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Packers vs. Vikings odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.
The Packers enter the 2022 season with high expectations yet again. Green Bay is led by back-to-back reigning MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but the supporting cast looks a little different this year with WR Davante Adams — Rodgers’ favorite target for 6 straight seasons — having been traded in the offseason to the Las Vegas Raiders. Veteran WR Allen Lazard and rookie WRs Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs are being counted on to step up and fill the void left by Adams.
Green Bay finished the preseason 1-2 as it wrapped up with a 17-10 loss at the Kansas City Chiefs in its final tune-up game.

The Vikings are the Packers’ only real competition for the NFC North, although even that seems like a long shot. Minnesota finished at 8-9 last season and made very few adjustments in the offseason to improve. However, the team should still have an electric offense behind the play of WR Justin Jefferson and RB Dalvin Cook.
Minnesota wrapped up preseason play at 0-3 and dropped its final game 23-13 at the Denver Broncos.
