Minnesota ​Vikings Vs. Green Bay Packers: Kickoff Time, Odds, Parking

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The Minnesota Vikings (3-2) will play at home Sunday in its first border battle matchup of the season against the Green Bay Packers (4-1). Both the Vikings and the Packers are coming off of nail-biter victories in week five. Minnesota was fortunate for its last-minute Harrison Smith interception that led to the game-winning field goal against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Monday Night Football. In Dallas, Aaron Rodgers led the Packers, down 28-31, to a touchdown-ending drive with 16 seconds left on the clock to seal a victory against the Cowboys.

This Sunday, head coach Mike Zimmer and his Vikings defense, lauded as one of the best in the league, will try to stop Aaron Rodgers' roll. Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford's status is still unknown, but after his rusty start against the Bears Monday, it's likely we'll see Case Keenum get the start.

Here's what you need to know for the big rivalry game Sunday:

• Kickoff time: 12 p.m. at U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis
