Green Bay Packers 2023 Future Odds

There’s more uncertainty surrounding the Green Bay Packers entering the new season than with most other teams. The departure of Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets and the installation of Jordan Love as the team’s No. 1 quarterback is hard to measure. Rodgers didn’t have his best season in 2022, but it’s hard to blame him. The make-up of the team wasn’t that good and Rodgers leaving Green Bay had to weigh on the entire team. So, what will the 2023 Green Bay Packers stats look like? It’s hard to tell, but it will be interesting finding out if the Packers can top last season’s 8-9 record.

Green Bay Packers At A Glance

Packers Have Shot in Average NFC Central

The Green Bay Packers will have a different look on offense this season. Not only is Rodgers gone, but many of his prime targets from a year ago have also departed. Wideouts Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb, along with tight ends Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis are no longer with the team.

The Packers used the draft to replace some of the players. Green Bay drafted Ohio State tight end Luke Musgrave in the second round and San Diego State tight end Tucker Kraft in the third round. Michigan State wide receiver Jayden Reed was also tabbed in the second round.

The Packers see the return of Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon as running back. The two combined for nearly 1,900 yards last season. If the Packers can get the ground game going it will take some of the pressure off Love.

Love played well in the team’s preseason victory over the Bengals. The NFL box scores show he was 7 for 10 for 46 yards and a touchdown.

Green Bay used its first-round pick on Iowa edge rusher Lukas Van Ness. The Packers lost several players from the defensive line but think they have the bodies to replace them. The defense wasn’t bad last season, allowing 21.8 points per game. The Packers have to do a better job against the rush after allowing 5.0 yards per carry and 2,372 rushing yards last season.

The pass defense was pretty solid, allowing 22 touchdown passes and intercepting 17 passes. If the 2023 Green Bay Packers stats are a little better against the run, the Packers could climb a little bit higher in the NFL standings. That’s what they need to do in order to return to the playoffs.

Super Bowl Odds: This isn’t Green Bay’s Year

The Packers have some talent and added some nice young players. But they’re a bit young at the skill positions. With a little more experience, the Packers should be just fine. But it’s doubtful it to happen so quickly and will a bit of time. Green Bay was just +1100 last season, but the make-up of that team was quite a bit different.

Conference Odds: Too Many Better Teams in NFC

Green Bay’s odds of winning the NFC are a lot higher this year than a year ago. The Packers are currently +2500, which is five times higher than the +500 of last season. But that was a completely different Green Bay team. The Packers should get better as the season goes on. Still, it’s hard to envision Green Bay being able to compete with the likes of Philadelphia, Dallas, and San Francisco in the NFC even if things fall into place for the Packers.

Division Odds: Packers Not Out of It

While people are quick to count out the Green Bay Packers, they have a shot against the other teams in the NFC Central. The Lions are the preseason favorite, but Detroit isn’t without a few blemishes of its own. Detroit looks to be moving in the right direction but it still has to turn that into wins. The Vikings are expected to fall off a bit. It’s unlikely Minnesota goes 9-0 in close games once again, so every team in the division has a few warts. The Packers have a shot at decent odds, which is a far cry from last season when Green Bay was -185.

Regular Season Wins: Eight Wins Not Out of the Question

Last year the Packers had a win total of 11 and didn’t come close. This season it’s just 7.5. The Packers are expected to be favored in about six games. That number can change depending on what the 2023 Green Bay Packers stats look like as the year goes on. But even in the NFL games spreads, they’re underdogs, seven of them are by a field goal or less. The Packers should be able to win at least a few of those games. It’s going to come down to Green Bay taking care of business in the games it should win.

The Packers believe in Jordan Love and they’re in a better position than us to have an idea how he’ll fare in his first season as a starter. The last time Green Bay said it has confidence in a new quarterback was when Rodgers replaced Brett Favre. The Packers knew what they were talking about there. Nobody is expecting Love to lead the Packers to multiple NFL championship games in his first few seasons, but he does deserve a chance. That’s something few people seem to be willing to give him.

To Make Playoffs: Packers Can Make It, But It’s Not Going to Be Easy

The Packers were huge favorites to make the playoffs last season but missed the postseason at odds of -450. This season, they’re not being given much chance of making it. But it’s not out of the question. The Packers will have to win 9 or 10 games, which is a possibility. But a lot of that will be determined by Love and how well he plays.

Side Bets

There are plenty of other bets involving the Green Bay Packers and not surprisingly, many of them involve Love. The over/under betting on Love’s passing touchdowns is 21.5, with the under at -125 and the over at -105. Love’s total on interceptions is 12.5 and the over/under on passing yards is 3,250.5, with the over at -125. Love is +15000 to win NFL Offensive Player of the Year and +4000 to win the regular season MVP award. If you believe

Jordan Love can lead the league in passing touchdowns, you’ll get odds of +6000 or +5000 if you want to wager Love will lead the NFL in passing yards.

The over/under on Christian Watson’s number of receptions is 62.5 at -115 both ways and the total on Watson’s receiving yards is 850.5. The total on receiving TDs is 5.5, with the under at even money.

Aaron Jones has a total of 850.5 rushing yards and A.J. Dillion’s total is 700.5. Both have totals of 6.5 rushing touchdowns on the year.

Matt Lafleur has gotten a bit of play for Coach of the Year and his odds are down to +1400. It makes sense, as many have written Green Bay off. But if the Packers win the division or even make the playoffs, he’ll get some consideration.
