Five things to watch and a prediction for the Packers’ Week 3 showdown with the New Orleans Saints.

The Green Bay Packers (1-1) will welcome the New Orleans Saints (2-0) to Lambeau Field for the home opener on Sunday. The Week 3 showdown in Green Bay features a Packers team coming off a disappointing loss to the Atlanta Falcons on the road in Week 2 against an undefeated Saints team with two one-score wins to open 2023.

While the Packers played in Atlanta on Sunday, the Saints were in Carolina on Monday night, giving Matt LaFleur’s team the preparation and recovery edge.

The Week 2 showdown features two young but exciting NFC playoff hopefuls coming off big division wins in the season opener.

Jordan Love threw three touchdown passes and the defense produced a pair of takeaways during the Packers’ 38-20 win over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field in Week 1, while the Falcons got three total touchdowns from running backs Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier and three takeaways from Jessie Bates III in a 24-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers at home in the opener.

Packers vs. Bears: 5 things to watch and a prediction for Week 1

Five things to watch and a prediction for the Packers’ season-opening showdown with the Chicago Bears.

Both the Jordan Love era and the 2023 regular season will begin for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Soldier Field in Chicago. Love will make his first start as the new Packers starting quarterback in Week 1, and he’ll attempt to secure his first win as a starter against a Bears team the Packers have beaten eight straight times.

Can the Packers continue their dominance over their long-running rivals with Love at quarterback, or is a new era of the rivalry dawning?

Here are five things to watch and a prediction for Week 1 against the Bears:

Packers vs. Seahawks: 5 things to watch in 2023 preseason finale

Five things to watch when the Packers host the Seawhawks in the 2023 preseason finale on Saturday at Lambeau Field.

The Green Bay Packers will finish the team’s three-game preseason schedule when the Seattle Seahawks come to Lambeau Field for the 2023 preseason finale on Saturday afternoon.

Matt LaFleur’s team beat the Cincinnati Bengals 36-19 in the preseason opener and then lost to the New England Patriots 21-17 in a suspended preseason game last Saturday night. LaFleur said starters on both sides of the ball (save for Rashan Gary) will play against the Seahawks.

After the preseason finale, the Packers will begin prep for the Week 1 showdown with the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Sept. 10.

Packers vs. Lions: 5 things to watch and a prediction for 2022 regular season finale

Five things to watch and a prediction for Sunday night’s showdown between the Packers and Lions at Lambeau Field.

The Green Bay Packers (8-8) will host the Detroit Lions (8-8) in the regular season finale – both for each team and the NFL – on Sunday night at Lambeau Field. The final spot in the NFC playoff field won’t be known until the outcome is decided, and the Packers only need a win over the Lions to clinch the No. 7 seed.

It’s possible, if the Los Angeles Rams beat the Seattle Seahawks earlier on Sunday, that the showdown is a win-and-in game for both teams.

There is a potential advantage awaiting the Packers: If the Seahawks beat the Rams, the Lions will be officially eliminated from the playoff field. Then again, the Lions are coached by Dan Campbell and will be motivated to knock the Packers out of the postseason even if Detroit has nothing to play for on Sunday night.

The Green Bay Packers have lost five straight games and will now host a reunion with Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10 on Sunday afternoon.

Will McCarthy, who was fired by the Packers after a loss in December of 2018, get sweet revenge in his return? Or are the Packers capable of getting a galvanizing and potentially season-change win over a true contender?

The Green Bay Packers (3-5) and Detroit Lions (1-6) will both attempt to snap long losing streaks on Sunday at Ford Field.

The Packers have lost four straight. The Lions have lost five straight. Barring a tie, one team will exit Week 9 with a long-awaited win.

Matt LaFleur’s team is 5-1 in six games against the Lions, with the lone loss coming in last year’s season finale at Ford Field.

Packers vs. Bills: 5 things to watch and a prediction for Week 8

Five things to watch and a prediction for the Packers’ Week 8 showdown with the Bills in primetime.

The Green Bay Packers will attempt to avoid a four-game losing streak when Matt LaFleur’s team travels east to play Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 8.

The Packers have won 13 straight primetime games, but going on the road to play the Bills – a team coming off a win over the Kansas City Chiefs and the bye week – is a whole new challenge.
