Let the games begin!
For the 7th time in the last 8 seasons, the Green Bay Packers begin the regular season on the road, taking on the Minnesota Vikings at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Green Bay will be without starting running back Josh Jacobs who remains on the Commissioner’s Exempt List. Packers quarterback Jordan Love will carry a heavy burden in the passing game behind a newly arranged, and relatively inexperienced offensive line.
Minnesota’s big offseason addition, former No. 1 overall pick Kyler Murray, makes his official debut under head coach Kevin O’Connell against a Packers defense making its debut (without Micah Parsons) under new coordinator Jonathan Gannon.
A week-1 matchup and an always crucial NFC North division matchup for a Packers team looking to win a division title for the first time since 2021.
In this inaugural edition of “Kickoff Conversation,” Greg Matzek and Alex Strouf dive into reasons to be optimistic, causes for concern, their picks to click, game predictions and more.
