We can’t be sure which team will win this NFC North battle, but the result may hint at what’s to come in their next meeting. That’s because the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings have split their season series every year since 2020. For this edition of the rivalry, oddsmakers have listed the Packers as favorites to win at Lambeau Field.
Apparently the post-Kirk Cousins era is going to be just fine in Minnesota. The Vikings are undefeated with Sam Darnold leading the huddle. With eight passing scores through three games, it appears Darnold could be having a breakout season at age 27 after a career that started in 2018 as the No. 3 overall pick.
As much as the play of their red-headed QB has been welcome, it doesn’t hurt that the Minnesota defense has surrendered only three touchdowns, and only one on the ground. Both of these defenses have been good at creating turnovers, which could make this game feature plenty of flips and twists. The Packers lead the NFL with nine takeaways, while the Vikings have forced six turnovers, which ranks third in the league.
Jordan Love is expected to return for Green Bay on Sunday. Malik Willis has filled in pretty well in a pair of wins, but he is a game manager. Willis has completed 73.5 percent of his passes, which is impressive even if that has come on only 17 attempts per game. The Vikings likely prepared as if Love would return. With Love expected back, the Minnesota front four will be charged with pursuing the wounded fourth-year quarterback.
