The Green Bay Packers have made the postseason each of the past two years, but despite regressing from knocking on the doorstep of the NFC Championship game in 2023 to falling to the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild card round in 2024, Las Vegas is optimistic about Jordan Love and Co.’s future.
Ahead of the NFL Draft, and after making some targeted additions at key positions of need in free agency, the Packers have the second-shortest odds of winning the NFC North and returning to the postseason.
Here are the latest NFC North odds from FanDuel Sportsbook:
Detroit Lions: +110
Green Bay Packers: +260
Minnesota Vikings: +500
Chicago Bears: +500
FanDuel’s oddsmakers seem bullish that Jordan Love will make major strides in 2025, putting a lingering leg injury behind him come September, and that the defense will be even more disruptive in coordinator Jeff Hafley’s second season at the helm than it was last season.
What is interesting is that the odds seem to discredit some of the marquee additions that the Chicago Bears have made along both lines of scrimmage both to help former No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams at quarterback and bolster what had been a mediocre pass rush.
The Lions remain the prohibitive favorite and team to beat, the mountain that the Packers must climb, but at least ahead of the draft, it seems like there might not be too significant a gap between Green Bay and the reigning division champs.
