Add The New York Post on Google For the 132nd time in their storied histories, the Minnesota Vikings are going head-to-head with the Green Bay Packers.
This time around, the NFC North rivals meet in a Week 1 season opener at Minneapolis’ U.S. Bank Stadium today at 4:25 p.m.
Splashy offseason acquisition Kyler Murray will get the start for the Purple People Eaters — with Carson Wentz and J.J. McCarthy behind him — while franchise quarterback Jordan Love is scheduled to take snaps for the Cheeseheads.
And, even though they missed the postseason last year after finishing 9-8, oddsmakers believe Minnesota has a slight edge over Green Bay who will be without star Micah Parsons due to a knee injury today.
“Kyler Murray gets a fresh start in Minnesota, with a plethora of weapons,” The Arizona Republic writes. “How much will he run in Minnesota? He’ll run enough in Week 1 to help his team win at home [by a score of 24-20] against the Packers.”
