From the Packers' perspective, it's a chance to take control of the NFC North. A loss could be devastating, causing Matt LaFleur's team to fall two games behind the Vikings. It's still early in the season, but losing home divisional games isn't a recipe for success.
Minnesota has made a surprisingly strong start to the regular season, handing defeats to the New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers, and Houston Texans. Few saw that coming a month ago. However, things can change quickly, and the Vikings know that.
This has been the rivalry in the NFC North over the past decade. Eight of the previous 10 division titles belong to these two teams—five to Green Bay and three to Minnesota. They aim to increase that impressive record, making today's game all the more important.
