Green Bay Packers NFL Betting
Since taking over as starting quarterback in 2008, Aaron Rodgers has produced one Super Bowl championship and ten playoff berths. Green Bay has spent most of Rodgers’s career building the supporting cast around him. But when the Packers drafted Rodgers’ heir apparent Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Rogers never got over it. Especially after Rodgers asked the Packers to draft a couple of wide receivers. Rodgers despises the Green Bay front office and has reached the point of skipping offseason workouts and demanding a trade. While anything is possible, moving Rodgers would be incredibly complicated due to his massive salary. Beyond that, the Packers don’t want to go down in history for trading a Hall of Fame quarterback. Because of the soap opera in Wisconsin, the Packers are not on the board for either regular season win total or the NFC North Division championship odds.

2021 Regular Season Win Total: TBA
Matt LaFleur led the Packers to a 13-3 regular season record and berth in the NFC championship game for the second consecutive season. But in the 31-26 NFC championship game home loss to Tampa Bay, LaFleur’s honeymoon ended. Bizarre play calls and clock management were part of the debacle. Now LaFleur enters his third season with the possibility of losing Rodgers.
Adding to LaFleur’s woes is that the Packers were universally panned for a weak class at the 2021 NFL Draft. The Packers were guilty of an incoherent draft filled with ill-timed reaches and not working things out with Rodgers, who went public minutes before the first round opened. Two picks that did earn high praise were Florida State nose tackle Tedarrell Slaton and Boston College linebacker Isaiah McDuffie.
Green Bay parted ways with defensive coordinator Mike Pettine after the loss to Tampa Bay. Joe Barry takes over after serving as the Rams assistant head coach and linebackers coach from 2017-2020. He inherits an average unit that needs fine-tuning.
Running back Aaron Jones is coming off consecutive 1000-yard rushing campaigns. Wide receiver Davante Adams surpassed 1300 yards for the second time in three seasons with career highs of 115 catches and 18 touchdowns.

For all of the hype about Rodgers, his only Super Bowl campaign was in 2010. Brett Favre produced consecutive Super Bowl seasons in 1996 and 1997, winning the first one. Of course, Bart Starr quarterbacked the Pack to wins in Super Bowls I and II and won three additional NFL championships in the pre-Super Bowl era.
