The 2024 National Football League season is almost approaching, and there’s no better time to look into sportsbook futures like NFL win total odds. Here, we concentrate on the Green Bay Packers. Jordan Love led Green Bay to a road playoff victory in his first season as a full-time starter, leading many to regard the Packers as the team most likely to make a leap in 2024. Will the Packers continue to reach their full potential, or will their youth cause them to regress? Continue reading for our Packers’ victory total prediction for the coming season:
Green Bay’s victory total is set at 9.5, with DraftKings leaning toward the over (-135) (under is +115). The Packers are one of the league’s youngest teams. Their top quarterback, Love, has only one year of starting experience, which is why many are still afraid to buy their stock. Love had a wonderful first two weeks of the season, but then struggled for the next month and a half. Following that, he recorded 25 total touchdowns and three interceptions in the final ten games of the 2023 season. He won’t be passing the ball to Aaron Jones anymore, but he does have a 26-year-old Josh Jacobs by his side.
Green Bay competes in the NFC North, which is expected to be one of the most competitive divisions in sports. The Minnesota Vikings figure to be the likely last-place finisher, but the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears should both be formidable opponents. Aside from divisional matches, the Packers’ most difficult games will come in Week 1 against the Eagles, Week 5 against the Rams, Week 7 at the Texans, and Week 12 against the 49ers. The outcomes of those games will have a significant impact on whether the team exceeds or falls short of the projected 9.5 wins.
2024 Green Bay Packers victory total predictions: More than 9.5 victories (-135 or better).
According to our estimates, the Packers can lose almost all of their “hard” games and still win ten. To accomplish this, they must finish 3-3 in the division and win two games versus the Colts, Rams, Texans, Jaguars, 49ers, and Lions. That is, providing they perform well against their weaker opponents. Notably, the Packers defeated the Rams, Chiefs, and Lions last season. The widespread assumption is that they will be even stronger this year as a result of their increased experience, as well as key signings like Jacobs and Xavier McKinney.
Green Bay’s defense was 13th in points allowed per game, just.4 away from a top-10 ranking. If they’re anything like the team from 2023, they have a good chance of going over.
