Green Bay Packers NFL Betting
The Green Bay Packers had the rug pulled out from under them in their regular season finale. Green Bay had won four straight games after a 4-8 start to the season to put them in position to make it back to the playoffs with a win over the Detroit Lions. After Seattle defeated the Los Angeles Rams earlier in the day, the Lions had nothing to play for against the Packers, while everything was on the line for Green Bay. However, the Packers were unable to beat the Lions as Aaron Rodgers continued to look past his prime, and Green Bay’s season is over.
Green Bay Packers 2022 Season Recap
After three straight 13-win seasons under Matt LaFleur, the Green Bay Packers failed to make the playoffs following an 8-9 campaign in 2022. There is plenty of blame to go around as this team struggled throughout the season, but much of it will fall at the feet of Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers toyed with the front office for the last couple offseasons much like Brett Favre did in the late 2000s. He dropped hints that he planned to retire or wanted to be traded away, but the team eventually signed him to a massive three-year extension worth over $150 million. The Packers guaranteed $101 million of that money, and there’s no doubt they’d like a mulligan on that deal after Rodgers had the worst season of his career.
The four-time NFL MVP completed 64.6% of his passes for 3,695 yards (6.8 YPA) with 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Rodgers will turn 40 years old next December, and to make matters worse, the Packers still don’t know what they have with 2020 first-round pick Jordan Love. In his three seasons with Green Bay, Love has completed just 50 of 83 passes for 606 yard with three touchdowns and three interceptions.
Green Bay was a middle-of-the-pack offense in 2022. The Packers averaged just 21.8 PPG and 337.9 YPG, but there were some nice developments. Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon were an effective backfield tandem with Jones running for 1,121 yards (5.3 YPC) and two touchdowns while Dillon ran for 770 yards (4.1 YPC) and seven TDs as a short yardage and goal line back.
The receivers weren’t great after the Packers dealt Davante Adams to Las Vegas this offseason, but Rodgers developed a rapport with rookies Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs over the course of the season. Watson caught 41 passes for 611 yards and seven touchdowns, while Doubs had 42 receptions for 425 yards and three TDs. Allen Lazard was the team’s leading receiver with 60 receptions for 788 yards and six TDs.
The Packers were supposed to be much better on defense too, but this was a below average unit. While Green Bay allowed 21.8 PPG and 336.5 YPG, ranking 17th in scoring defense and total defense, the unit allowed 5.8 yards per play (28th in the NFL). This front seven was pushed around too often, surrendering 5.0 YPC and 139.5 YPG on the ground, and the secondary wasn’t much better either.
Hopefully, 2022 first-round picks Quay Walker and Devonte Wyatt can develop in the offseason and give the team a spark. Walker led the team in tackles this year, but Wyatt had a quiet rookie campaign. This secondary should perform much better too given the talent at the back end.

Founded in 1921, the Green Bay Packers are one of the NFL’s crown jewel legacy franchises. Green Bay has 11 NFL championships and four Super Bowl titles.
The Packers have the distinction of winning three consecutive NFL championships in 1929-31 and 1965-67.
Curly Lambeau was the first great Packer coach that led that original Green Bay dynasty. He led Green Bay to six NFL titles in his career. The Packers' home stadium, Lambeau Field, is named after the legendary championship coach.
Following a long period in the NFL wilderness from 1945 through 1958, the Packers hired Vince Lombardi as head coach and general manager in 1959. The rest, as they say, is history.
Lombardi ushered in an era of glory that firmly established the Packers as a legendary franchise. Green Bay won five NFL championships and the first two Super Bowls under Lombardi.
From 1968-to 1992, the Packers were again in the wilderness. But then-general manager Ron Wolf and head coach Mike Holmgren combined to set a standard of excellence that has lasted until now. Green Bay has missed the playoffs only seven times since 1993.
Green Bay has a litany of former stars and Hall of Famers. It also boasts three of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Bart Starr, Brett Favre, and Aaron Rodgers are generational and Hall of Fame quarterbacks.
The Packers have 25 players inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Also, Lombardi and Wolf were installed in the Coach and Executive class.
