Washington Football Team at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Washington Football Team at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Football Team (2-4) travel to meet the Green Bay Packers (5-1) at Lambeau Field Sunday for a Week 7 game. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at the Washington vs. Packers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Washington lost its second consecutive game when it was pounded 31-13 by the visiting Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday. WFT picked up a 34-30 win in Atlanta as a two-point favorite in its most recent road outing. The Over is 2-0 in two road contests.

Green Bay was worked over in Week 1 in a neutral-site battle against New Orleans, but has rolled to five straight wins and covers since. The Under is a perfect 3-0 in the last three for the Packers.

Washington at Packers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 31, Washington 20

Money line

The Packers (-380) will cost you nearly four times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk even for a home team.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The PACKERS -7.5 (-110) are the play on their home field. Green Bay is 2-0 SU/ATS at home so far, and they’re 3-0 ATS in three outings as a favorite of 5.5 or more points.

The difference here is at quarterback and on defense. QB Aaron Rodgers should be able to shred the Washington D. WFT is allowing 309.5 passing yards per game and 31.0 PPG, both dead-last in the NFL.

Over/Under

The OVER 47.5 (-110) is the lean in Sunday’s NFC battle at Lambeau. Rodgers and the Pack should have similar success like QB Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs had last week against WFT.

The Over has connected in four of the last five for the Packers at home dating back to last season, while going 4-1 in the past five games overall for Washington. Look for a total in the 50s.

Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

One of the NFL’s oldest rivalries kicks off 1 p.m. ET Sunday at Soldier Field when the Green Bay Packers (4-1) visit the Chicago Bears (3-2). Below, we look at the Packers vs. Bears odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Green Bay won and covered its fourth straight game by beating the Cincinnati Bengals 25-22 in overtime as a 2-point road favorite. The Packers are 4-1 against the spread (ATS) and 2-3 Over/Under (O/U) with the 14th-toughest strength of schedule, according to Football Outsiders.

Chicago has won and covered three of its last four games including a 20-9 victory at the Las Vegas Raiders as a 5.5-point underdog in Week 5. The Bears are 3-2 ATS and 1-4 O/U with the 11th-toughest schedule.

The Packers have beaten and covered in four consecutive meetings with the Bears. Also, Aaron Rodgers is 20-5 all-time against Chicago with a 55 TD to 10 INT ratio and a 107.2 QB Rating.

Packers at Bears odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 24, Bears 13

Money line

PASS even though Green Bay is obviously the right side here because the Packers (-250) is a little too rich for my blood.

Rodgers dominates the Bears and Chicago’s injury woes combined with rookie QB Justin Fields having more game film on him should help Green Bay’s defense in this spot.

Against the spread

Slight “LEAN” to the PACKERS -5.5 (-112) for a small bet if at all because of the aforementioned logic. There’s been “sharp line movement” towards Green Bay who opened up as a 4.5-point favorite.

We are getting the worst of the number and I much prefer the Under in this game than a side in Packers-Bears.

Over/Under

BET the UNDER 44.5 (-112) for 1 unit because there is “reverse line movement” in the Under’s direction.

Slightly more money is on the Over and nearly three-fourths of the bets placed are on the Over according to pregame.com, but the total has been lowered from the 46-point opener. It’s a red flag whenever you see sportsbooks make the more popular side cheaper.

Green Bay’s offense ranks 24th in neutral situation pace and Chicago’s offense ranks 28th in neutral situation pace, according to footballeroutsiders.com

The Packers are super reliant on Rodgers to WR Davante Adams magic and Chicago’s defense has held Adams in check recently.

Adams’ 61 targets are by far the most for any player on Green Bay’s offense with the next closest player being RB Aaron Jones out of the backfield with 19 targets. However, Adams has only surpassed 61 receiving yards once in his last four games against the Bears.

Cincinnati Bengals at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals at Green Bay Packers Week 5 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Green Bay Packers (3-1) stop by Paul Brown Stadium Sunday to play the Cincinnati Bengals (3-1) at 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Packers vs. Bengals odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Green Bay cruised past the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17 as a 6.5-point home favorite in Week 4. The Packers have won covered the last three games after their weird 38-3 Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Cincy rallied back from a 14-point, first-half deficit to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-21 on Thursday Night Football. The Bengals are 2-2 against the spread (ATS), which includes a 24-10 win at the Steelers in Week 3.

Packers at Bengals odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Bengals 30, Packers 24

Money line

PASS because the Cincinnati (+122) doesn’t make much sense when Cincy plus the points is still even-money (+100).

Against the spread

BET 1 unit on the BENGALS +2.5 (+100) because there’s “reverse line movement” in Cincy’s direction and the Bengals have been a lot more efficient thus far.

A vast majority of the action is on Green Bay to cover but Cincy has gone from a 3.5-point underdog down to the current price. It’s a red flag whenever sportsbooks make the more popular side cheaper.

The Bengals have a higher net points per play, yards per play and red zone-scoring differentials. On top of that, Green Bay has a negative expected points added (EPA) differential. And each team has played a similar strength of schedule.

There’s an old-school handicapping angle where you flip the 3-point home field advantage and analyze the game. So, in this case, we’d make the Packers home and add six points to their spread. It would be hard to argue Green Bay laying 8.5 points is a good bet.

I know it seems like the Packers -2.5 (-125) is cheap but the bottom line is Green Bay is overpriced in this spot. TAKE the BENGALS +2.5 (+100).

Over/Under

Slight “LEAN” to the OVER 50.5 (-115) for a small wager, if at all, because I much prefer Cincy’s spread and we are getting to the party late.

According to Pregame.com, more than 90% of the action is on the Over, which has caused oddsmakers to move the Packers-Bengals total up from the 48.5-point opener. Perhaps Over 50.5 (-115) is still a winner, but I liked this total a lot more when it was 48.5.

NFL underdog predictions: Week 5

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 4:15 p.m. ET.

Cincinnati Bengals +3.5 (-125) vs. Green Bay Packers

QB Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have bounced back nicely from their season-opening debacle against the New Orleans Saints, by reeling off three straight wins.

The Bengals are also 3-1 and have won with a promising mix of young offensive talent, led by second-year QB Joe Burrow and rookie WR Ja’Marr Chase, along with an improved and underrated defense.

That should be more than enough to at least keep it close — and possibly even win outright — at home against a banged-up Green Bay squad which likely will be without some key offensive linemen, its best pass rusher and top cornerback.

San Francisco 49ers +5.5 (-112) at Arizona Cardinals

QB Kyler Murray and the Cards are the league’s final unbeaten team and are coming off a huge 37-20 win over the previously undefeated Los Angeles Rams as 3.5-point road underdogs.

That, however, makes this a prime letdown spot for Arizona as it hosts an angry 49ers squad hitting the road off two straight stinging home setbacks.

Even though it likely will be rookie Trey Lance starting at QB for the Niners, they have had recent success in this NFC West series, winning three of the last four meetings.

Buffalo Bills +2.5 (-102) at Kansas City Chiefs

K.C. is favored by less than a field goal at home Sunday night for the first time ever in a game QB Patrick Mahomes is slated to start.

That’s a giveaway right there that the wrong team might be favored in this rematch of last season’s AFC Championship Game won 38-24 by the Chiefs.

Both squads once again have top-three scoring offenses with top-level QBs, but the huge difference is defense as the Bills have surrendered the fewest points (44) and total yards (867) in the league while the Chiefs rank 31st in both categories, giving up 125 points and 1,751 yards.

With the spread under 3 points, take the Bills on the money line at +120 to earn a measure of revenge.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Pittsburgh Steelers at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2) attempt to stop a two-game losing skid on the road against the Green Bay Packers (2-1) Sunday of Week 4. Kickoff is at 4:25 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field. Below, we look at the Steelers vs. Packer odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Steelers lost 24-10 to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3 for their second straight loss. QB Ben Roethlisberger was sacked 4 times and intercepted twice in the game. He has only 3 touchdown passes through three games so far and the team is averaging only 16.7 points per game thus far.

The Packers have won two in a row after a 38-3 blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints in their season opener. QB Aaron Rodgers led another game-winning drive in Week 3, taking the Packers down the field in just 37 seconds for PK Mason Crosby to hit a game-winning 51-yards field goal to beat the San Francisco 49ers 30-28 on the road. Rodgers has 6 touchdown passes in his last two games.

Steelers at Packers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 27, Steelers 13

Money line

The Packers are working on all cylinders after that Week 1 dud against the Saints. They put up a total of 65 points in their two wins.

The Steelers are struggling offensively and allowed 24 points to the Bengals, who have a good offense but are not on the same level as the Packers. They have allowed 6 touchdown passes thus far.

Take the PACKERS (-300).

Against the spread

Green Bay covered the spread in each of its two wins. Pittsburgh covered in one of three games.

Take the PACKERS -6.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Green Bay’s two wins have had the total in the 50s.

The Steelers have yet to have a game with a total that reaches Sunday’s projection of 45.5 points.

The Steelers haven’t allowed a team to score in the 30s yet, and it doesn’t look like they will have the firepower to get to the 20s.

Take UNDER 45.5 (-110).

Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers Week 3 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

Sunday Night Football in Week 3 features the Green Bay Packers (1-1) visiting the San Francisco 49ers (2-0). Kickoff is 8:20 p.m. ET at Levi’s Stadium. Below, we look at the Packers at 49ers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Green Bay started the year by getting throttled 38-3 on the road against the New Orleans Saints. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers threw 2 interceptions and was held without a touchdown pass and just 133 passing yards. The Packers gained only 229 yards. They bounced back in Week 2 on Monday Night Football with a 35-17 win over the Detroit Lions. Rodgers had 4 touchdown passes in the win.

The 49ers are one of three undefeated teams in the NFC West. They opened the season with a 41-33 win in Week 1 over the Detroit Lions. They were up 41-17 with under 10 minutes left before the Lions scored a couple of garbage-time touchdowns. They then beat the Philadelphia Eagles 17-11 in Week 2.

Packers at 49ers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 23, 49ers 20

Money line

This will be the fourth year in a row the Packers and 49ers face each other in the regular season and the third straight regular-season game between them in San Francisco. They split the previous two regular-season meetings at Levi’s Stadium.

It is tough to know whether either team is good offensively based on the first couple of weeks of the season. The 49ers piled on 41 points in Week 1 but struggled to move the ball in Week 2. The Packers scored 35 last week but managed only a field goal in their opener against the Saints.

The game becomes the measuring stick for both teams.

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo is nothing like Rodgers when he gets going, and Rodgers got going last week. The Niners are down their top two running backs to start the year, as Raheem Mostert is on injured reserve and Elijah Mitchell is doubtful.

Take the PACKERS (+135).

Against the spread

If the Packers more closely resemble how they played in Week 2 rather than Week 1 they are one of the best teams in the entire NFC. If the Niners do the same they will not have much of a chance to slow the Packers.

San Francisco will struggle to cover Green Bay’s receivers. The 49ers are already missing CB Jason Verrett for the season and with Moseley uncertain for the game.

Expecting an outright Packers win, I like them even more against the spread. Take the PACKERS +3.5 (-122).

Over/Under

Both teams are 1-1 O/U this year. However, both their big-scoring games came against the same opponent.

The Niners’ second game did not even crack 30 points, while the Packers’ season opener barely cracked the 40s.

Can the two teams together get into the 50s? I don’t think they will.

Take UNDER 50.5 (-105).

Green Bay Packers vs. New Orleans Saints odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the Green Bay Packers vs. New Orleans Saints Week 1 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Green Bay Packers meet the New Orleans Saints Sunday in their regular-season openers at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Fla. The NFL relocated this game due to the effects of Hurricane Ida in New Orleans. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Packers at Saints odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Green Bay looks to take one more step after losing last season’s NFC Conference Championship Game to the eventual Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers gave cheeseheads a scare by requesting a trade this offseason. But cooler heads prevailed and Rodgers hopes to lead the Packers to the Super Bowl for the second time in his career.

New Orleans returns most of its NFC South first-place roster from last season sans likely future Hall of Fame QB Drew Brees, who retired in the offseason. The Saints won a playoff game NFC Wild Card Weekend vs. the Chicago Bears before getting upset at home in the Divisional Round by the Buccaneers.

The Packers beat the Saints in New Orleans 37-30 in Week 3 last season as 3.5-point road underdogs with this game soaring over the total of 52.

Packers vs. Saints odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Saints 27, Packers 21

Money line

LEAN to the SAINTS (+160) for a tiny wager because I like New Orleans plus the points and see some value in the underdog’s money line in this spot.

Time will tell if first-year Saints QB Jameis Winston is a long-term successor to Brees, but he’s in good shape behind this offensive line and with head coach Sean Payton working the controls of the offense.

Combine Payton’s offense with New Orleans’ sneaky elite defense and the SAINTS (+160) are live underdogs against any team.

Against the spread

Definitely BET the SAINTS +3.5 (-107) heavier than or instead of New Orleans’ money line because this game is extremely mispriced and we are seeing “reverse line movement” (RLM) in the betting market.

New Orleans was favored 3.5 points against Green Bay last season. There isn’t a 7-point drop-off from a Brees-led Saints to Winston under center.

I’m more worried about how missing LT David Bakhtiari (on the PUP list) and the offseason departures of former C Corey Linsley and RT Bryan Bulaga affect Green Bay’s offense.

This game opened with Green Bay laying 3 points and moved up to 4.5 points once the relocation news broke.

Now, it’s down to the Packers -3.5 (-115) despite roughly 85% of the action being on Green Bay according to Pregame.com. This puzzling line movement suggests oddsmakers are cool with taking more bets on the Packers.

Over/Under

PASS with slight lean to the Under 49.5 (-110) because I don’t have much on the Packers-Saints total and much prefer the New Orleans’ sides.

However, the Saints using their offensive line to push the Packers around and keep the chains moving combined with New Orleans’ top-notch defensive line facing a banged-up Green Bay offensive line is why I lean to the Under.

Packers at Bills odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Bills 24, Packers 13

The Bills (-370) will cost you nearly four times your potential return, and that’s not a good bet in the preseason, or otherwise.

AVOID and play the spread instead.

The BILLS -8.5 (-108) are likely to use QB Josh Allen very little, but backup QB Mitchell Trubisky shows how much depth Buffalo has at the position. Allen didn’t even play in the team’s 41-15 blowout win last weekend. Whether or not Allen plays, take the Bills.

QB Aaron Rodgers isn’t likely to play for the Packers, and if he does, it will be a cameo. QB Jordan Love (shoulder) is out with a shoulder, so the Pack doesn’t have a ton of depth at the position at the moment.

Over/Under

OVER 34.5 (-112) is worth a look, as the Bills offense has been on point with or without Allen. The Packers have struggled to put up points, as Rodgers has sat and Love has been injured, but the reserves could strike late to push this one over the top.

New York Jets at Green bay Packers odds and lines: Zach Wilson, Jordan Love on display again

Looking at Saturday’s New York Jets at Green Bay Packers NFL preseason odds and lines.

The New York Jets are on the road this weekend to play the Green Bay Packers in each team’s second preseason game of the year. Their game kicks off Saturday afternoon at 4:25 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field. Below, we look at the Jets at Packers odds and lines.

The Jets picked up a win in their preseason opener defeating the New York Giants 12-7. Rookie QB Zach Wilson made his debut and was efficient and effective with 63 yards on 6-for-9 passing.

Packers QB Jordan Love got his first NFL game action in a 26-7 loss to the Houston Texans. Love was 12-for-17 for 122 yards and a touchdown, but Houston scored 23 unanswered points after that.

Love suffered a shoulder injury, and his status is up in the air for this game. The Packers are working out quarterbacks in case Love can’t play.

The Packers, at +100 odds, have an implied 50.0% chance of winning, or 1/1 fractional odds. If Green Bay wins outright or loses by only 1 point, a Packers +1.5 (-110) ATS bet wins.

The Jets (-125) have an implied 55.56% chance of beating the Jets, or 4/5 fractional odds. New York must win by 2 or more points for a Jets -1.5 (-110) ATS ticket to cash.

There would need to be at least 35 points scored Saturday for an OVER 34.5 (-110) ticket to cash, while a combined point total of 34 or fewer points is a win for the Under.

Houston Texans at Green Bay Packers odds and lines: Packers QB Jordan Love finally set to see field

Assessing the odds and lines for Saturday’s NFL preseason contest between the Houston Texans and Green Bay Packers.

The Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans finally begin their respective 2021 NFL preseason campaigns after a tumultuous offseason for both sides. Kickoff will be Saturday at 8 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field. Below, we look at the Texans at Packers odds and lines.

The Packers were able to retain QB Aaron Rodgers for at least the 2021 season, but it’s second-year QB Jordan Love who should be expected to see most of the playing time under center Saturday. The No. 26 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft didn’t see the field at all as a rookie as Rodgers put together his third MVP campaign in his age-36 season.

The Texans haven’t been able to come to anywhere near the same resolution as the Packers. QB Deshaun Watson remains mired in an off-field legal dispute and is also reportedly still seeking a trade. He participated in training camp Monday but is unlikely to play Saturday.

The Packers are modest favorites at home in what’s expected to be Love’s first taste of game action on an NFL field. Their implied win probability is 61.54% with the -160 money line odds. Those odds can be expressed as a fraction of 5/8 or decimal of 1.63. Green Bay will need to win by 3 or more points in order to cover the -2.5-point spread.

The Texans can cover the spread by losing by 2 or fewer points or by pulling off the upset victory. They have an implied win probability of just 43.48% with the +130 odds.

The teams will need to combine to score 34 or more points in order to cash Over 33.5 (-115) tickets. A point total of 33 or fewer points is a win for the Under.
