Vikings Game Panel for Week 1: Our Writers Make 3 Predictions Apiece

Published

on

The Vikings game in Week 1 involves the Green Bay Packers coming to U.S. Bank Stadium for an early NFC North battle.

Few, if any, had an offseason as rough as Green Bay. Elite edge rusher Micah Parsons isn’t ready to begin the season, depriving the Packers of their top player. Perhaps the next best talent is running back Josh Jacobs, who is sorting through troubling allegations while being placed on the commissioner’s exempt list. Matt LaFleur is facing strong headwinds.

Consider the trio of questions that got put in front of the writers this week:

  1. Who Wins (Score Prediction Encouraged)?
  2. Which Rookie Earns the Most Playing Time (Special Teams Snaps Count)?
  3. Which Viking Puts the First Points on the Board?
