In Year 1 of the Jordan Love era, the Packers made a tremendous jump midway through the 2023 season.
In his second season as Green Bay’s QB1, they’re poised to do it again.
The Packers started last season with a 3-6 record, but finished with a 6-2 record and a 9-8 record to earn an NFC Wild Card spot, putting them on a roll entering the postseason.
The Packers beat the Cowboys in the first round and then came close to pulling off an even bigger upset against the 49ers, only to lose in a thrilling 24-21 victory.
Despite all that Love and company have done in the second half and postseason, they remain far from the inner circle of Super Bowl favorites in the eyes of oddsmakers.
The Packers are priced at +1900 (DraftKings Sportsbook) to win the Lombardi Trophy in 2025, giving NFL bettors a great opportunity to bet on this young team taking another big step.
Green Bay added safety Xavier McKinney to bolster pass coverage and running back Josh Jacobs as a younger replacement for Aaron Jones, but the biggest improvements may come from players already on the roster.
Looking at Love’s receiving corps, he has four talented wide receivers all under the age of 25 in Christian Watson, Romeo Dubs, Jayden Reed and Dontaevion Wicks.
Their offensive line is one of the youngest in the NFL and has plenty of room to grow in 2024.

And with the addition of McKinney and a ton of draft capital, the defense has a chance to finish in the top half of the league or better.
With one of the NFL’s top coaches in Matt LaFleur on the sideline, it may seem a little early for this group, but don’t be surprised if the Packers are the last team standing.
theater: The Green Bay Packers will win the Super Bowl (+1900).
