The pre-game read

Minnesota hosts at U.S. Bank Stadium with a fully healthy 53-man roster — no injury designations whatsoever. Green Bay is missing Micah Parsons (IR, torn ACL) and Josh Jacobs (commissioner's exempt list), two of their most impactful players. The Packers also have OL concerns with Zach Bako-Bewele and Aaron Banks both questionable with knee issues. Kyler Murray debuts for Kevin O'Connell (3-1 in openers) with Justin Jefferson and Brian Flores' defense that ranked 3rd in total defense and had 49 sacks last season. MarShawn Lloyd replacing Jacobs is a massive downgrade in the run game. The combination of home field, personnel advantage, and defensive firepower gives Minnesota a clear edge.
