Green Bay Packers Team Overview
Last game, the Green Bay Packers lost 34-31 against the Detroit Lions as 3.5-point road dogs. The game went over the online betting total of 53. Green Bay has a record of 9-4 straight up, 7-6 against the spread, and 6-6-1 over/under the total. Green Bay ranks 6th for total offense, 11th for passing, 5th for rushing and 7th for scoring. Defensively, they rank 13th overall, 22nd against the pass, 9th against the rush, and 9th for points allowed. Also, Green Bay ranks 16th for fewest turnovers lost and 8th for takeaways.
Of great concern is that the Packers are just 2-4 against teams with winning records. Furthermore, those two wins weren’t overly impressive. The Packers needed a late stop to win at the Rams. LA played without receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua and tight end Tyler Higbee.
Also, the Packers needed a walk-off field goal to beat the Texans, who played without star receiver Nico Collins. Also, Houston was missing two starting linebackers, a starting cornerback, and a starting safety. The Texans are 6-2 with Collins, who leads the NFL in receiving yards per game.
And then Green Bay beat the 49ers, whom injuries had slammed. The Pack took out the Cardinals, who lost receiver Marvin Harrison on the opening series. Also, Green Bay beat the Dolphins, who have shown a complete inability to beat good teams or win in cold weather. Green Bay’s four losses are against the best three teams in the NFC. Its strength of defeat is a preposterous .885. Conversely, against teams whose quarterback is in the top 10 in passer rating, they are 1-4.
There’s no shame in losing to elite teams with elite quarterbacks. But beating elite teams is what’s required to be elite. In their 34-31 loss at the Lions, the Packers showed they are worthy of another shot at Detroit in the playoffs.
