The 2025 Packers Off-Season drama seems to have come to a conclusion. Jaire Alexander is no longer a Packer, Elgton Jenkins is out of the clubs and back at practice, and the feud between myself and Russ Ball is finally settled (he knows what he did).
So with all of that done and settled for the time being, lets take a look at the Packers schedule this year and make a 100 percent accurate prediction at how the season will play out.
The Opening Bell
- 1. Detroit Lions
- 2. Washington Commanders
- 3. @ Cleveland Browns
- 4. @ Dallas Cowboys
Not an easy opening couple of games to start the season, but with three home games the Packers should be in position to make a strong opening statement. Does the list above say three home games? No. But given that the Packers have never lost a game in Jerry Jones monstrosity, I count it as a home game anyway. I’m going to assume the Packers take both away games, and I think they also get the jump on a Lions team with a lot of changes from the previous year. This is still a young team however and after a big win to open the season they drop the ball in week 2.
Record: 3-1
The Fated Reunion
- 5. Cincinnati
- 6. @ Arizona
- 7. @ Pittsburgh
- 8. Carolina
Things do not get much easier after the opening quarter of the season. The obvious highlight here is the matchup against the Aaron Rodgers led Pittsburgh Steelers. This of course assumes that Rodgers is still playing at that point and hasn’t retired to become a Nepalese Shaman specializing in underwater darkness retreats. While that matchup will generate the most headlines, the most important game of the bunch is against Cincinnati. Joe Burrow and those WR will provide a great test to measure what the defense is really capable of in year two of Jeff Hafley’s scheme. I think the Packers are likely favored in three, if not all four of these games, but ultimately drop one of them.
Record: 6-2
Oh We’re In It Now
- 9. Philadelphia
- 10. @ New York
- 11. Minnesota
- 12. @ Detroit
This schedule really is brutal for the Packers. The Packers played three of these teams twice last year and lost every game. I don’t expect that to be the case this year, but I do think this may be a spot where the schedule and the early bye week catches up with the team. The Packers get some revenge on the Vikings, and take care of a lesser Giants squad, but split the series with Detroit and still can’t seem to figure out the Eagles.
Record: 8-4
Closing Time
- 13. Chicago
- 14. @ Denver
- 15. @ Chicago
- 16. Baltimore
- 17. @Minnesota
The end of the season gets a little easier by virtue of having Chicago twice in the final five games. I don’t care how last season played out, I count every Chicago game as a win until they win more than once in twelve tries. That leaves three games left. I think Minnesota takes a big step back this year, but the Packers haven’t swept the Vikings since 2019. I think they drop the Denver game as well, but come up with a huge win against an always tough Ravens team.
Record: 11-6
There you have it, a completely accurate prediction of how the season will play out. The record remains the same as the year prior, but given the ridiculous schedule would be an absolute win.
I won’t try and predict the painful way the Packers get knocked out of the playoffs this year, because it’s more fun to be surprised by the new and inventive ways this team can break my heart. Of course, that won’t be the case this year because 2025 is the year the Lombardi comes home.
GO PACK GO.
