Green Bay Packers NFL Wild Card Round Betting Lines

The Green Bay Packers outgained the Chicago Bears 367-224 and averaged 6.0-3.9 yards per play in their home finale, but still ended up dropping a 24-22 decision coming nowhere close to covering the closing 10.5-point NFL spread. On top of that, it likely lost Christian Watson for the remainder of the year, and to make matters worse, saw Jordan Love suffer a hand injury that forced him out of the match after only throwing 12 passes. Matt LaFleur stated that he would’ve been able to return to the game if it meant anything. That being said, it can’t be a good thing when your QB1 loses all feeling in his throwing hand. With that, Green Bay enters NFL playoffs betting in bad shape as the No. 7 seed having dropped two straight both straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) to division rivals. If you can believe it, the Packers stand a last second blocked field goal attempt against the Bears away from failing to log a single win in NFC North play. With both the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings also punching bids to the second season, Green Bay’s prospects don’t look great. After hammering the cheeseheads minus the points last Sunday, action reports from the online sportsbook find scorned NFL bettors seemingly losing faith in the Packers for Saturday’s wild-card run-in with Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Successive losses to the Vikings and Bears saw the Packers futures odds take on more value. Their chances of winning Super Bowl LIX jumped from 20-1 to 12-1, while their odds of taking down the NFC increased to +950 from +700. Each rate of return exceeds preseason expectations which found Green Bay lined 16-1 to win it all and +750 to represent the conference in the big game. The team’s stock is low when pairing the showings put forth over the last two weeks with added injury concerns.

Green Bay Packers Wild Card Round Matchup

On Sunday, January 12, 2025, the Green Bay Packers will take on the Philadelphia Eagles from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA. Kickoff time is set for 4:30 p.m. ET with television coverage on FOX. The NFL Wild Card betting lines opened with the Packers installed 3.5-point underdogs with the Over/Under (O/U) lined 45.5. The number to beat has since jumped to +4 with Green Bay only being backed with 40 percent of the bets and money. The Pack won five of their eight played games away from Lambeau Field over the course of the regular season, only managing to split against the closing NFL betting lines at the crypto sportsbook. Its lone win against a playoff entrant came in the form of a 24-19 win and cover at the Rams when Matthew Stafford was without both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. This is also a rematch of the Week 1 tussle that went down in Brazil which saw the Eagles procure the 34-29 win and cover as 2-point neutral field favorites in a game the teams combined for 824 yards of total offense leading to an easy ticket cash on the over of 49.5. As easy it was to put points on the board, total bettors appear bullish of the scenario repeating evidenced by 70+ percent of the tickets and 53 percent of the handle residing on the under. The total is yet to move off the opener because of it.

Green Bay Packers Week 18 Recap

The Green Bay Packers closed the regular season with a narrow 24-22 loss to the Chicago Bears, raising concerns ahead of their wild-card matchup at Philadelphia. Injuries to key players marred the game—Jordan Love exited with a hand injury, and wide receiver Christian Watson was carted off with a knee issue. Love completed 5 of 7 passes before departing, while backup Malik Willis went 10 of 13 for 136 yards, though he lost a fumble. Brandon McManus gave Green Bay a 22-21 lead with a 55-yard field goal in the final minute. However, the Packers’ defense allowed Caleb Williams to drive Chicago into range for Cairo Santos’ game-winning 51-yard kick. A critical horse-collar penalty on Kingsley Enagbare contributed to the Bears' final push. Green Bay’s special teams also faltered. A trick play on a punt return—where DJ Moore acted as the decoy—allowed Chicago’s Josh Blackwell to score on a 94-yard return. Despite outgaining Chicago 87 to -4 yards in the first quarter, the Packers trailed 7-3. Matt LaFleur took responsibility for late-game indecision on a key fourth-down call. The loss, following a Week 17 NFL odds defeat to Minnesota, highlights areas for improvement as Green Bay enters the postseason with questions surrounding both health and consistency.

2024 Green Bay Packers Schedule, Results & Record

Founded in 1921, the Green Bay Packers are one of the NFL’s premier legacy franchises. With 11 NFL championships and four Super Bowl titles, the Packers hold the distinction of winning three consecutive NFL championships twice, in 1929-31 and 1965-67. The team's first great coach, Curly Lambeau, led the original Green Bay dynasty, securing six NFL titles. Their home stadium, Lambeau Field, is named in his honor.

After a challenging period from 1945 to 1958, the Packers hired Vince Lombardi as head coach and general manager in 1959, a move that transformed the franchise. Lombardi's tenure brought five NFL championships and victories in the first two Super Bowls, solidifying Green Bay's status as a legendary team.

The Packers faced another difficult era from 1968 to 1992. However, the arrival of general manager Ron Wolf and head coach Mike Holmgren in the early 1990s marked a new era of sustained excellence. Since 1993, Green Bay has missed the playoffs only eight times.

The franchise boasts a rich history of star players and Hall of Famers, including three of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history: Bart Starr, Brett Favre, and Aaron Rodgers. With 33 Packers players, coaches, or managers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Green Bay's legacy of success is well established, with more likely to be enshrined in the future.
