Three Reasons Why 2025 Packers Will Win Super Bowl

  In his sixth NFL season, Bart Starr led the Green Bay Packers to the NFL championship. In his sixth NFL season, Brett Favre led the Packers to victory in the Super Bowl. In his sixth NFL season, Aaron Rodgers led the Packers to victory in the Super Bowl.

You know who else is entering his sixth NFL season? Jordan Love.

Here are three reasons why the Packers will finally win their fifth Super Bowl and 14th NFL title.

1. Jordan Love’s Star Is Born

Jordan Love’s hype is centered on history.

First, there’s Green Bay’s quarterback history, with the illogical assumption that Aaron Rodgers became a star after he watched behind Brett Favre for three years so Love will become a star because he watched behind Rodgers for three years.

Next, there’s his recent history. In 2023, Love’s debut season as the starter, the Packers looked dead in the water with a 3-6 record. During the last seven of those games, Love threw eight touchdown passes and 10 interceptions.

Love, of course, turned the season around. The Packers closed with six wins in their final eight games, due in large part to Love’s Rodgers-esque stretch of 18 touchdowns and one interception. His torrid streak continued with a near-perfect 157.2 passer rating in the playoff win at Dallas.

So, Love has shown he can play at an elite level for a sustained period. Now that he’s past last year’s knee and groin injuries, he will put it together for 17 games and beyond. He’s got the talent. He’s got the experience. He’s got the supporting cast.

To use Kevin Greene’s line to Clay Matthews in Super Bowl XLV, it is time.

“It’s definitely time,” Love said at the start of training camp. “Ever since I’ve been here, we’ve been a team that’s done well in the regular season. I think that’s the standard here. We’ve got to go win those games. It starts with going out and winning those games against the NFC North teams.

“But I think, obviously, building upon that, once you get into the postseason, that’s the games that matter. For us to take that next step, it’s all about the work we put in every day. I think the consistency, we’ve had a lot of games where we’ve had some high moments and we’ve had some low moments. Just trying to be as smooth as possible, as consistent as possible and keep building as the season goes on and be at our best when that postseason rolls around. …

“Once playoff games get here, putting everything into it, having that focus that when these games get here, there’s no second chances. There’s no do-overs. Every play that we haven’t hit on in those playoff games before, we’ve got to make those teams pay and be able to capitalize. So, I think it just starts with that consistency. We’re definitely trying to take that next step. That’s the focus and the goal that we talk about every day.”
