The Green Bay Packers have moved up the Super Bowl LXI odds board after a high-scoring road victory over the New England Patriots, even as they stood pat at the NFL trade deadline.

Consensus lines from major sportsbooks put the Packers at +2100 to win the championship as of Nov. 10, an improvement from +3000 a week earlier. That shift raised their implied probability of winning it all from roughly 3.2% to 4.5%.

The San Francisco 49ers remain the favorite at +540, followed by the Buffalo Bills at +600. The Jacksonville Jaguars sit at +750 after adding defensive pieces at the deadline, while the Chicago Bears are listed at +800.

Green Bay enters Week 10 at 6-3 and fourth in the NFC North. The Bears lead the division at 7-2, with the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings both at 6-2.

Quarterback Jordan Love completed 23 of 29 passes for 372 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions in Sunday’s 45-27 win at Gillette Stadium. He added a 13-yard rushing touchdown and finished with a 153.2 passer rating, one of the highest marks of his career.

Love said of the performance, “It’s definitely up there. It felt great.”

Wide receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden both set career highs in receiving yards. Watson caught seven passes for 171 yards and a score, while Golden had 10 catches for 164 yards and a touchdown. The Packers totaled 478 yards of offense.

Green Bay forced four turnovers against the Patriots, the defending AFC champions, and converted them into 21 points. The win was the Packers’ fifth in their last six games and marked their highest road point total since 2011.

General manager Brian Gutekunst made no trades before Tuesday’s deadline, extending a streak of inactivity as a buyer that dates to the 2010 Super Bowl season. The only roster move was signing tight end Kenny Fletcher Jr. to the practice squad.

Division rivals were active. The Vikings acquired quarterback Kirk Cousins from the Raiders, while the Bears had previously added All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. The Jaguars made multiple defensive additions as well.

The Packers are currently odds-on to reach the playoffs at -200 in some markets, though they trail three teams in a loaded NFC North. Their remaining schedule includes a home game against the Vikings on Sunday, followed by a Thanksgiving Eve matchup at the Los Angeles Rams.

Oddsmakers cited Green Bay’s third-down efficiency and the statement performance against New England as reasons for the improved championship price. The team has shown it can score in bunches on the road against a quality opponent while continuing to lean on its existing roster.

With nine games left in the regular season, the Packers sit in position to make further gains in both the standings and the futures market if they continue their recent form. Super Bowl LXI is scheduled for Feb. 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium.
