The Green Bay Packers are just a little over two weeks away from kicking off their 2025 NFL campaign against the Detroit Lions.
There are still areas that need polishing for the Packers, not to mention several players for them to cut. In any case, there are high expectations as usual for Jordan Love and company following an 11-6 campaign in 2024.
The Packers managed to make the NFL playoffs despite starting off with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil and missing Love in the next two games due to injury. When he returned, the Packers suffered a loss in Week 4 at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings at home.
But a strong 4-1 stretch heading into the bye in Week 10 and a three-game win streak following that rest gave Green Bay a nice boost that also allowed them to survive a 0-2 finish in the regular season.
Losses to the Eagles bookended the 2024 Packers season. Apart from their Week 1 loss to Jalen Hurts and company, the Packers also suffered a defeat in the wild-card round that eliminated Green Bay from Super Bowl contention.
In a prediction by Ali Bhanpuri NFL.com, the Packers will once again lose to the Eagles in Week 10 in Philly. Bhanpuri also made the prediction that the Packers would have suffered just one loss before that meeting with the reigning Super Bowl champions.
Low point: Week 10 at Eagles.
Two of the NFC’s most successful franchises over the past decade or so square off in a huge prime-time showdown for both teams, who come into this matchup with identical 7-1 records — and the Eagles prove their superiority for the moment, ending the Packers’ seven-game winning streak. The emotional letdown gives this setback an edge in this category over being swept by the Bears for the first time since 2007.
