How many games will the Green Bay Packers win this season? Basing predictions on preseason expectations is always a gamble, but it is also a fun exercise. One of the youngest NFL teams has positioned itself as one of the top competitors in the NFC, but the next step hasn’t been taken. While the NFL playoffs are what matter most, Green Bay is poised for a strong season.
Let’s dive into our game-by-game Packers predictions for their 17-game schedule.
The Packers were swept by the Detroit Lions last season, and they have a 1-5 record against them over the last three seasons. Thankfully for Green Bay, it gets to open the season against a Detroit team that underwent a number of changes this offseason. The Lions have new play-callers on both sides of the ball, which typically comes with an acclimation period. Furthermore, the interior of the Lions’ offensive line will have two new starters. The lack of continuity in Week 1 proves key, with the Packers pulling out a close win.

The Washington Commanders feel like the breakout team that takes a step back the following year. Even with the improvements made offensively, Washington’s defense remains a question. While Jayden Daniels should certainly deliver an outstanding performance, the breaks that went the Commanders’ way last season don’t in this Week 2 matchup. This helps running back Josh Jacobs and the Packers’ defense pull out the win.

It’s always nice to face one of the worst NFL teams. While the Cleveland Browns’ defense should be formidable in 2025, the offense is another story. Joe Flacco will give the Packers’ secondary plenty of takeaway opportunities, and Cleveland’s run defense will probably be a liability. This allows Green Bay to control the clock, easily moving to a 3-0 start to the season.

Since the 2010s, the Packers have a 9-1 record against the Dallas Cowboys. Very little about this year’s version of either team suggests that dominance is going to change. The Packers’ offense is built to exploit the Cowboys’ defense, in part due to Green Bay’s depth and versatility in the receiving corps. We’re not expecting a blowout by any means, but Jordan Love will continue the recent ownership by Packers quarterbacks of AT&T Stadium.
