Packers vs. Vikings NFL betting: Odds, picks, predictions, start time for Week 1 NFC North showdown
Week 1 brings an early division battle as the Green Bay Packers travel to take on the Minnesota Vikings at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+.
Minnesota enters the clash as a 1.5-point favorite with a -120 moneyline, compared to +110 for Green Bay, while oddsmakers have set the over/under line at 46.5 points. The divisional opponents concluded the previous 2025 campaign with near-identical marks; the Packers clinched a postseason wild-card berth at 9-7-1, whereas the Vikings were left out of the playoff field after finishing 9-8.
Minnesota turns a new page moving past J.J. McCarthy by handing the offensive reins to former Cardinals passer Kyler Murray.
Meanwhile, Green Bay leans heavily on quarterback Jordan Love after an up-and-down 2025 season, though he might regain tight end Tucker Kraft following his breakout campaign. The Packers face notable roster hurdles with running back Josh Jacobs sidelined on the commissioner's exempt list due to legal matters, handing backfield duties to MarShawn Lloyd.
On defense, standout pass rusher Micah Parsons remains inactive on the PUP list while rehabilitating a December torn ACL.
