The late afternoon window of NFL Week 1 features some great divisional rivalries, one of which is in the NFC North. We’ve got Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers looking to best the new-look Minnesota Vikings with Kyler Murray under center in what many fans would consider to be the best division in football. That means these divisional rivalries carry even more weight, so it also means that you’re going to want the best Packers vs. Vikings predictions for Week 1.

You’re also going to want to be able to make some Packers vs. Vikings picks if you’re in Green Bay or Minnesota without legal sports betting, so we’ve also shared how to score a GUARANTEED Onyx Odds promo code bonus!

🔥 Packers vs. Vikings Predictions for NFL Week 1, Sunday, 9/13

Until somewhat recently, it was going to be Kyler Murray who continued to be the most polarizing name in this matchup. That was until the Josh Jacobs news, as he is no longer going to be part of any Packers vs. Vikings predictions. That’s a massive blow for Green Bay, especially given how the Minnesota defense operated last season.

We’ll get more into that with our best bet, but before we do, we aren’t the only ones reacting to Josh Jacobs not playing in Week 1 - the books have shifted the Packers vs. Vikings odds. After Green Bay opened as 1.5-point favorites, they’re now 1.5-point underdogs. While that still makes the game nearly a pick ‘em, it’s still worth noting.

With that being the case, we prefer not to even sweat out a winner at all. Unfortunately for some that may end up labeling it a “no-fun” approach, the best bet from our Packers vs. Vikings predictions is going to focus on the total instead.

🏅 Packers vs. Vikings Expert Pick: Under 46.5 Points (-110 at Onyx Odds)

No workhorse Josh Jacobs equals no stud RB finding the end zone, simple as that. Ok, there is obviously much more than goes into any best bet, but it truly is a major factor. We noted how the Vikings defense operated last season, and that’s because the ground game is how teams attacked them, further supporting our Packers vs. Vikings predictions.

Minnesota allowed just 158.5 passing yards per game last season (second-fewest) while ranking just outside the bottom 10 in terms of rushing yards per game allowed. That directly translated to not allowing points, as they allowed just 15 passing TDs - only the Philadelphia Eagles allowed fewer at 14.

That already helps our Packers vs. Vikings predictions since Green Bay can bash through them with Josh Jacobs, and we also can’t forget that their entire WR group AND Jordan Love have been quite injury-prone, and they also no longer have Romeo Doubs. Factor in Tucker Kraft still coming back from his torn ACL, and it’s difficult to see a ton of explosion right from the rip.

In last year’s meetings, we saw 16-3 (Week 18, to be fair) and 23-6, so even if Kyler Murray impresses his new team against a Micah Parsons-less defense, we still have under 46.5 points (-110 at Onyx Odds) as the best bet from our Packers vs. Vikings predictions for Week 1
