Green Bay Packers Top Games

Heading into the 2024 NFL Regular Season, buzz surrounding the Green Bay Packers has been close to deafening.

Many expect the Packers to challenge the Detroit Lions for the NFC North Division title.

Not only that, but Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love has become a favorite to win the NFL MVP.

If the Packers are to make the playoffs this season, they must perform well in nine games.

Keep reading for the key games on the Green Bay Packers’ regular season schedule.

Writer’s Picks for Top Packers Games

NFL Week 1 at Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles believe they’ve turned their defense around.

It’s hard to argue against Philadelphia’s assertion given that Vic Fangio is one of the best defensive coordinators in NFL history.

But Philadelphia’s offense could leave something to be desired.

After an MVP like season in 2022, Jalen Hurts fell back to earth in 2023 when throwing 15 interceptions to just 23 TDs.

Hurts rushed for less than 4 yards per carry and had 6 fumbles.

The Packers defense could take advantage while Love will outplay Hurts.

Green Bay pulls off an NFL Week 1 road victory.

NFL Week 5 at Los Angeles Rams

Both Green Bay and the Rams have playoff talent.

The difference in this game is home field where the Rams are often close to unbeatable at SoFi.

Also, if Matthew Stafford’s weapons are healthy, if Cooper Kupp, Puca Nacua, and Kyren Williams play, even a Vic Fangio coached defense isn’t going to keep Staff from posting points.

The Rams’ D will surprise because rookie Jared Verse is going to be a force from Week 1.

Rams beat the Packers in a close game.

NFL Week 7 vs Houston Texans

This is going to be one of the most exciting games in NFL Week 7.

Two of the leagues’ top young quarterbacks throw down when C.J.

Stroud leads the Texans to Lambeau Field.

Jordan Love has the ability to counter what Stroud and the Texans’ offense posts onto the scoreboard.

But Houston’s D has a massive advantage due to upgrades in the secondary and adding Danielle Hunter to play opposite second year phenom Will Anderson Jr.

Houston wins.

NFL Week 9 vs Detroit Lions

This key matchup happens after NFL Week 8, which should add to its importance.

The Lions are a legit Super Bowl contender, a team that has the playoff experience to get it done.

But the matchup happens in Green Bay where the Packers are tough to beat.

So although Detroit will have a shot to win this, the Packers get it done.

NFL Week 11 at Chicago Bears

One of football’s most treasured rivalries resumes when the Green Bay Packers head to Chicago to take on the Bears.

If the recent past is any indication, Green Bay should have no trouble beating Chicago.

For sure, the Bears will be better this season than they have been in the past.

The main reason is because Caleb Williams has a fantastic trio of receivers to toss the pigskin.

Still, Williams is a rookie and Jordan Love proved last season he’s one of the top quarterbacks in the league.

Green Bay wins the first game against Chicago.

NFL Week 12 vs San Francisco 49ers

If things work out for the Packers, their Week 12 matchup versus San Francisco could be for the inside track to the NFC Playoff’s top seed.

Green Bay has an advantage because the game happens at Lambeau.

However, Green Bay’s defense isn’t on SF’s level.

The 49ers should have more success stopping Green Bay’s drives in the red zone.

Brock Purdy can beat any defense.

San Francisco takes home the W.

NFL Week 13 vs Miami Dolphins

Although Green Bay versus Miami is a game between an NFC and AFC team, it should have playoff implications for both squads.

The reason is because it happens late in the season when the Packers and the Dolphins will be fighting for a playoff spot.

Both teams should put up points.

The Packers have a massive advantage because this happens in front of the Cheeseheads.

Also, Tua doesn’t play as well on the road as he does at home.

Green Bay wins a shootout.

NFL Week 16 vs New Orleans Saints

The Saints are a borderline playoff team.

Who knows in what position New Orleans will be in come NFL Week 16.

One thing is for sure, though, that the Packers will require a victory over New Orleans to secure their playoff dreams.

Even if the Saints are at full strength, the team isn’t built to beat a quality club like the Green Bay Packers on the road.

Unless Green Bay implodes, they take this game.

NFL Week 17 vs Chicago Bears

We don’t have to stretch our imaginations to see that Chicago versus Green Bay in NFL Week 17 could be for a wildcard playoff spot.

If Detroit dominates, which is a real possibility, the Packers may need to win out to make the NFL postseason.

Beating Chicago at home won’t be easy.

Still, it’s hard to see Caleb Williams upsetting the Packers in his first trip to Lambeau.

Love and Green Bay take down the Bears in a game that will send Green Bay to playoffs.

Green Bay Packers Top Games of the Regular Season

Previous Betting News

For the first time since 1991, the Green Bay Packers don’t have either Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers, two future Hall of Famers, on their roster when they open the season on Sept. 10 in Chicago. What to expect from the 2023 Packers?

2023 Green Bay Packers In-Depth Betting Analysis | MyBookie NFL Preview

Odds to win Super Bowl: +6500

Odds to win NFC: +3000

Odds to win NFC North: +500

Regular-season wins: 7.5

What would prove to be Aaron Rodgers’ final game as a member of the Packers was a heartbreaking 20-16 home upset loss to Detroit on Jan. 8 – had Green Bay won that game, it would have been a wild card team but the Lions’ win gave that spot to Seattle, which had won earlier on the final Sunday of the 2023 season. Rodgers was intercepted by Kerby Joseph on his final Green Bay pass, which sealed Detroit’s win. He went 17 of 27 for 205 yards with one touchdown and became the eighth NFL player to have at least 5,000 career completions. After the final seconds ticked off the clock, Rodgers walked off the field, gazing into the stands, side by side with Randall Cobb.

Both are now with the Jets. Green Bay shipped Rodgers to New York along with a 2023 first-round selection (No. 15) and a fifth-round choice (No. 170) in 2023 for a 2023 first-round selection (No. 13), a second-round pick (No. 42) and a sixth-round selection (No. 207) and a conditional second-round choice in 2024.

Rodgers, a first-round pick by the Packers (No. 24 overall) in the 2005 NFL Draft, played in 230 regular-season games (third most in team history) with 223 starts and started 21 of 22 postseason contests he played in for Green Bay. His 18 seasons playing for the Packers are the most in franchise history. With Rodgers as the starting quarterback over the past 15 seasons, Green Bay made the playoffs 11 times, won the division eight times and won a Super Bowl title. He registered a team-record 475 career passing TDs, the third most in NFL history by a QB with a single franchise.

The team now turns to Jordan Love, a 2020 first-round pick out of Utah State whose only NFL start was Week 9 of the 2021 season in Kansas City when Rodgers had COVID. The Packers lost 13-7. Love was 19 of 34 for 190 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He has gotten into a few other games in mop-up duty. Love is eager for training camp to begin. He has taken plenty of first-team reps in the past with Rodgers missing previous OTAs. Green Bay’s first training camp practice is July 26.

“It’s kind of the external things that I can’t control that might be a little bit different being the starter now,” Love said at the end of minicamp. “But, for me, I try and keep the main thing the main thing, try and not do too much in my life where I’m pulled so many ways and can’t relax and settle down and being able to focus on what I need to focus on.”

Love will be sans a few targets as Cobb and fellow receiver Allen Lazard both left to join the Jets, whilst their most targeted tight end from last year Robert Tonyan left to join the Chicago Bears. The Pack did select Utah tight end Luke Musgrave at No 42 overall in this year’s draft and Michigan State wideout Jaylen Reed at No. 50.

After losing Tonyan in free agency and not re-signing Marcedes Lewis, they had only two tight ends with any NFL experience on their roster, Josiah Deguara and Tyler Davis, and they combined for just 17 catches for 140 yards and no touchdowns. Even with Tonyan and his 53 catches last season, the Packers’ tight ends were 25th in the NFL in receiving yards. Musgrave played in only two games last season because of a knee injury, though he caught 11 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown in those contests.

The Packers never take receivers in the first round, but they’ve done well with them in the second round. Reed is the next in line following the likes of Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Davante Adams and, last year, Christian Watson — all second-round receiver picks by the Packers.

Green Bay targeted defense with its first pick in Iowa pass-rusher Lukas Van Ness at No. 13 overall. Of the Packers’ last 13 first-round picks, only one — Love — has been an offensive player. Van Ness had 14 sacks and 20.5 tackles for loss over the past two seasons at Iowa. Despite having the second-highest pressure rate in the NFL last season, the Packers ranked 27th in the NFL in sacks with 34.

The Packers’ strength of schedule ranks as the 24th-toughest in the NFL with an opponents’ combined winning percentage of .476 in 2022. Green Bay is a 2-point underdog Week 1 at Chicago – the Packers were almost never dogs in the NFL’s oldest rivalry when Rodgers or Favre was under center.

Green Bay is the only team in the NFL to open the season on the road each of the last five years (2019-23). It is also the fourth time in the last five years that the Packers have opened the season on the road against a division opponent. The Packers’ bye is Week 6. The team will also play on Thanksgiving in Detroit. Green Bay’s preseason opener is Aug. 11 at Cincinnati.
