2023-24 Jordan Love Odds: Low Expectations for Green Bay’s New QB

NFL Odds Not Optimistic on Love’s First Season as Starter

It is a new era in Green Bay. Jordan Love now officially takes over as the team’s new quarterback with Aaron Rodgers in New York. Love has big shoes to fill, to say the least. The 24-year-old could make Green Bay competitive from the get-go. But if the 2023-24 Jordan Love odds are anything to go by, Packers fans should keep expectations tempered.

Jordan Love’s Chances in 2023

Can Love Make Green Bay a Winning Team?

In Rodgers’s first season as the Packers’ starting quarterback, the team went 6-10 and finished third in the division. Still, Rodgers acquitted himself well by throwing for over 4,000 yards with 28 touchdowns as Green Bay averaged the fifth-most points per game. Going by the 2023-24 Jordan Love odds, he may just put up stats and help Green Bay to a winning record.

The Packers have one of the easier schedules in the NFL and they play in a winnable division. Even if the NFL odds peg Green Bay as the unlikeliest division winner at +450, the team is also expected to win over 7.5 games (-125). That means Green Bay could win around eight or nine games and it would be better than what Rodgers got the team.

For one, this Packers team has a slightly better defense than the one Rodgers inherited. Matt LaFleur’s Packers give up an average of 21.6 points per game. That would rank it in the upper half of the NFL. If Jordan Love’s stats are close to Rodgers’s, the offense will also be good enough to make Green Bay decent.

Jordan Love’s Player Profile & Stats

After three seasons in Utah State where he threw 8,600 yards and 60 touchdowns, the Packers drafted Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Since becoming a Packer, Love has appeared in 10 games with one start in 2021.

Last Year’s Stats

In his third season, Love posted more efficient numbers in four appearances. However, he also did not start against the Kansas City Chiefs as he did in 2021. If he can maintain this efficiency in 17 games as a starter, Love may just surprise.

PASSING:

  • ATT: 21
  • CMP: 14
  • CMP%: 66.7
  • YDS: 195
  • Y/A: 9.3
  • TD: 1
  • INT: 0
  • Y/G: 48.8
  • RATE: 112.2

When Love started against the Chiefs, it produced one of the lowest NFL scores of the season. Love went up against a top-tier defense that held him and the offense to just seven points. He completed 19 of his 34 attempts while throwing a touchdown (his first in the NFL) and an interception.

Love’s Odds To Impress

Jordan Love’s 2023-24 odds are longshots at best. He’s listed at 100-1 to win the Offensive Player of the Year Award and at 50-1 to pass for the most yards in 2023. These practically screams “no shot”.
