Green Bay Packers Week 1 Best Bets - NFL Betting Lines

The Green Bay Packers enter the 2025 NFL season looking to take the next step in their progression under head coach Matt LaFleur. With a roster built around emerging quarterback Jordan Love, Green Bay is once again expected to challenge for the NFC North title. Futures markets reflect optimism: the Packers sit at +1717 to win the Super Bowl, +804 to win the NFC Championship, and +253 to capture the division, with their season win total set at 9.5 games. Oddsmakers believe this is a team capable of breaking through if they can stay healthy and find consistency in the passing game. For those wagering in alternative ways, Packers fans can now bet the NFL with Bitcoin at BookMaker Sportsbook, featuring fast crypto deposits and withdrawals.

The Packers’ identity remains a blend of disciplined defense and a developing offense. LaFleur’s hope is that a healthier Jordan Love, paired with a receiving corps led by Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and rookie Matthew Golden, will unlock more efficiency. Green Bay’s defense, anchored by Quay Walker and a rebuilt secondary that again includes Xavier McKinney, gives them a strong foundation.

Green Bay Packers Week 1 Matchup

On Sunday, September 7, 2025, the Green Bay Packers will host the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET with television coverage on CBS. Oddsmakers opened the matchup as a pick ’em, but market movement has shifted the NFL spread to Packers -2 at reduced juice. The total opened at 47.5 and has risen to 49.5, signaling expectations for an offensive showcase between two of the NFC North’s heavyweights.

For Green Bay, the storyline is simple: can they flip the recent narrative against Detroit? The Lions have dominated the series in recent years, including back-to-back wins at Lambeau. Green Bay enters this opener needing to reassert its home-field advantage in one of the NFL’s most historic rivalries.

Health is a significant factor. The Packers’ Week 1 injury list is long, with Jordan Love, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Quay Walker, Xavier McKinney, and Marshawn Lloyd all listed as questionable. Each plays a critical role, and their availability will directly impact the offensive rhythm and defensive stability. If Love is less than 100 percent, Green Bay’s ability to match Detroit’s offensive efficiency could be compromised.

Still, Lambeau remains one of the toughest venues in football. The Packers are 7–3 straight up and 6–4 ATS in their last ten home games, with the Under cashing in six of those contests. Against the Lions specifically, Green Bay is 3–2 straight up but just 2–3 ATS in its last five as a home favorite, showing that while they can compete, covering numbers in this matchup has been difficult. Bettors eyeing Week 1 will weigh whether the Packers’ market momentum is warranted or whether Detroit continues to hold the upper hand.

The Week 1 storyline centers on Matt LaFleur’s ability to get the offense firing immediately. Green Bay has the weapons, but execution has been inconsistent. With Detroit expected to push the pace, the Packers must capitalize on opportunities and avoid the red-zone inefficiency that stalled drives last year. This game offers an immediate barometer for whether the Packers are true contenders or still a step behind the Lions.

Green Bay Packers 2024-25 Recap

Green Bay’s 2024 season was defined by growth. The Packers finished 11–6 straight up, 9–8 against the spread, and 8–8–1 to the Over/Under, proving competitive in nearly every game and earning a reputation as a scrappy but dangerous opponent. Jordan Love showed real flashes as the team’s quarterback of the future, though injuries and inconsistency kept the offense from reaching full potential.

The Packers’ defense remained the backbone, limiting explosive plays and keeping games within reach under DC Jeff Hafley’s watch. Quay Walker’s emergence and the development of a young secondary gave Green Bay hope that its defense could evolve into one of the NFC’s most reliable. Offensively, while Love’s growth was encouraging, the team struggled at times with drops and offensive line play. Still, the 11 wins showed this was a team capable of competing in the division and beyond.

For bettors, Green Bay was a near coin flip. Their 9–8 ATS record reflected competitiveness without dominance, while their .500 O/U record showed a team that could swing either way depending on game flow. Consistency will be the keyword moving into 2025.

Ultimately, the 2024 season reestablished Green Bay as a playoff-caliber franchise. With a stronger roster, improved health, and Love continuing his development, the Packers enter 2025 with the expectation of contending for more than just a wild card spot. Week 1 against Detroit provides the stage to prove they belong in the NFC’s top tier.

2025 Green Bay Packers Schedule, Results & Record

General manager Brian Gutekunst went to work addressing problem areas with the addition of longtime 49ers starting guard Aaron Banks in free agency and by using his first three 2025 draft picks on the offensive side of the ball: Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden, NC State offensive tackle Anthony Belton and TCU wide receiver Savion Williams. Green Bay was also thin on cornerback depth with either Jaire Alexander or Eric Stokes dealing with injuries the last few years, so he signed soon-to-be 26-year-old cornerback Nate Hobbs. Green Bay's youth could launch them into true contention.

Green Bay Packers Past Seasons (2000)

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 to lead the original Green Bay dynasty. During his career, he led Green Bay to six NFL titles. 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. Under Lombardi, Green Bay won five NFL championships and the first two Super Bowls.

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. These are generational and Hall of Fame quarterbacks.

The Packers have 25 players inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Lombardi and Wolf were also installed in the Coach and Executive classes.
