Packers to Face Vikings in Week 1 NFL Matchup

The Green Bay Packers are set to play against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, September 13, 2026, at 4:25 p.m. ET at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The betting lines show the Vikings as 1.5-point favorites, with a total of 46.5 points. The moneyline has shifted from Vikings +108 to -121, while 50% of moneyline bets and 65% of spread bets are on Minnesota.

Key players include Vikings quarterback Murray, who is under pressure to perform after a limited preseason, and Packers running back Lloyd, expected to play a significant role despite a committee approach. Minnesota's defense will benefit from the return of Smith, a veteran safety, who is crucial for communication and coverage against the Packers. Field position may also be influenced by Moore, Green Bay's primary returner, who had notable return statistics last season.
