3. Packers vs. Vikings

Since the Chicago Bears clearly have some things to figure out on the offensive side of the football after looking at their struggles on opening night, the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings must be loving their chances to win the NFC North title.

One week certainly doesn’t determine what the rest of the season is going to be like, but the Packers and Vikings must be thrilled to each start the year 1-0 since the division race in 2019 seems like it could go right down to the wire.

But since the end of December is still a few months away, the main focus for now is Sunday’s game between these two NFC North rivals.

Coincidentally, both the Packers and Vikings entered last season as two of the early favorites to make a run at the playoffs in the NFC, only to each come up short.

Both teams would love nothing more than to earn a shot at redemption by punching their ticket to the postseason in 2019, and the winner of Sunday’s game will certainly gain a major advantage as far as the division race is concerned.

If all goes well, this game between the Packers and Vikings could end up being a shootout decided late in the fourth quarter, providing football fans with plenty of excitement.
