The Green Bay Packers have been favored in every game of the 2025 season so far, and week 7 will be no exception. The Packers make their longest road trip of the year this weekend, heading to the desert to face the Arizona Cardinals. But despite the long flight, the oddsmakers just up the road in Las Vegas still have the Packers favored by a comfortable margin.
As of Monday morning, the Packers head into the week favored over the Cardinals by 6.5 points, according to FanDuel sportsbook.
If the spread holds, this would be the fourth straight game that...

The Packers rolled out a mild surprise on the offensive line Sunday, starting 2024 first round pick Jordan Morgan at right guard, a position he’s played sparingly this season.
Morgan made his NFL debut working at right guard, but we haven’t seen him much there this season. Through the first five games of the year, Morgan has played primarily left guard and right tackle, although he did play 15 snaps at right guard in Week 1. In the preseason, Morgan played left tackle and left guard exclusively. But there he was on Sunday, holding down the fort at right guard...

The Green Bay Packers’ win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon was hardly a pretty one. But although the 27-18 win made it feel like the team left points and opportunities out on the field as a team, that’s not the case for a couple of key players.
One of those individuals, Josh Jacobs, is among the Packers’ most prominent players and one who has been a critical piece of the team since he arrived in Green Bay before last season. Another, Lucas Havrisik, signed with the team on Saturday and stepped up to make every kick he attempted...

No, you didn’t misread this headline. Despite only winning one game over the last four weeks, the Green Bay Packers are now sitting in the second spot in the NFC after the Detroit Lions lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 30-17 on Sunday Night Football in Week 6.
If the Packers can get it done against the Arizona Cardinals next week, they’ll either be leading the NFC in Week 7 or will have more than a full-game lead over the rest of the NFC North, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will play against the Detroit Lions. (I refuse to consider...

If my calculations are correct, it’s been approximately 647 days since the Green Bay Packers played a football game. It’s been even longer since they came away with an outright win, so today’s matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals was a welcome one, because hello! They’re the Bengals. The Packers decided to Packer a little too close to the sun, and the game was a lot closer than it should’ve been, but they came away with the 27-18 win. Let’s dive in to the winners and losers from an underwhelming performance at Lambeau Field.

By far, the biggest shake-up this week for the Green Bay Packers’ usage came at the defensive tackle position. It’s something we probably should have expected after Green Bay’s last game. We’ll get into that later, but let’s take you through the full position-by-position breakdown of which Packers got to see action against the Cincinnati Bengals.
As a reminder, all snap counts are just for offense and defense, with special teams snaps in parentheses.

Green Bay Packers defensive end Lukas Van Ness was carted to the locker room during the team’s 27-18 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, but Van Ness’ injury doesn’t sound like it’s a season-ender based on how head coach Matt LaFleur spoke on the issue in his post-game press conference. Up front, LaFleur stated that he doesn’t believe that Van Ness broke something in his foot, a relief for Packers fans everywhere.
LaFleur also added that Van Ness simply felt “sore in his foot” and that he will be undergoing an MRI tomorrow, another sign that whatever Van Ness is dealing...

Green Bay Packers fans have been waiting for it and seen brief flashes, but Sunday’s win against the Cincinnati Bengals showed what receiver Matthew Golden is capable of in this offense.
For the first time in Golden’s NFL career, the rookie wide receiver eclipsed 100 yards of offense, catching 3-of-5 targets for 86 yards with another 16 yards on two rushing attempts. Despite only having three catches, it was also Golden’s highest receiving output by a full 28 yards.
The splash plays have already been there for Golden. He’s had an explosive catch of at least 34 yards in three...

The Green Bay Packers are back in the win column, and they avoided losing to Joe Flacco for the second time in three games. Facing the Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field, Matt LaFleur’s team struggled to get out to a big lead in the first half, but both teams’ offenses woke up a bit in the second half. Green Bay never went on defense with less than a two-possession lead in the second half, eventually holding on for a 27-18 victory.
The game was a bit of a breakout for Matthew Golden, who led the team with 86 receiving yards...

Green Bay Packers defensive end Lukas Van Ness, who has been used in a heavy three-man rotation with Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary this year, was carted off the field in the third quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals following a 10-minute Bengals touchdown drive. The Packers have officially ruled him questionable to return with a foot injury.
Up to this point in the season, Van Ness has played 52 percent of Green Bay’s defensive snaps, up from the 32 percent from his rookie year and 39 percent in 2024. With Van Ness injured, the Packers will need to lean on...

It has been a long two weeks since the Green Bay Packers last played a game, drawing to a tie with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in week 4. It has been even longer — 31 days, to be exact — since they were on their home turf at Lambeau Field.
That day, the Packers beat the Washington Commanders to move to 2-0 on the season. Now, after a loss, a tie, and a bye, the team will look to get back on track at home by welcoming in the Cincinnati Bengals, who are 2-3 and will start...

The Green Bay Packers will be without kicker Brandon McManus, who told the press that he would be ready to go for this game against the Cincinnati Bengals earlier this week. McManus injured his quad during Wednesday’s practice, leading to him being limited on the injury report throughout the week.
Just yesterday, the Packers signed kicker Lucas Havrisik, who comes to the team via the UFL. For the most part, Havrisik has been good from 40 yards and under (the 28-yard line and in), but has been shaky beyond that range.
The good news for Green Bay is that cornerback...
