NFC North adversaries will take center stage during the NFL’s opening weekend.

The Vikings and Packers are set to meet under the glistening starlight of U.S. Bank Stadium, both teams vying to establish themselves as contenders for football’s ultimate prize.

Minnesota underwent a raft of changes after a 9-8 campaign that saw it miss the postseason, handing Kyler Murray the reins to the offense. The former No. 1 pick will look to resurrect his career after a challenging last season in Arizona. With Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison by his side, he appears to have the weapons to do just that.

Green Bay, meanwhile, will look to build on a 9-7-1 year that ended in heartache. Jordan Love is one of the sport’s best hurlers. He’ll hope to show as much while delivering throws to a new-look pass-catching group.
