Week 15: Green Bay Packers at Baltimore

A mobile quarterback and a team that can run the ball very well. Hopefully, these issues have been mitigated under defensive coordinator Joe Barry, but in the past, this combination is a recipe for disaster for the Green Bay Packers defense.

Packers lose: 10-4

Week 16: vs. Cleveland

While I’m obviously not predicting that the Packers are going to beat Cleveland 40-14 as they did against Tennessee late in the 2020 season–the reason I make the comparison is that leading up to this game, I could see many picking the young and exciting Browns to win this game. But Green Bay’s experience and the Lambeau crowd on Christmas day will be too much to overcome.

Packers win: 11-4

Week 17: vs. Minnesota

As I mentioned, this is an improved Vikings team, and divisional games are often close, which I expect this one to be, but playing at Lambeau Field in October is far different than playing there on January 2nd, when this game will take place.

Packers win: 12-4

Week 18: at Detroit

Hopefully, the Green Bay Packers are able to rest their starters this week, and we even get to see Jordan Love in action. However, if the starters do have to play, they’ll win this game. I’m just not sure of what to make of the Lions this season. Although I’ll add that this game will probably go down to the wire just like every game does between the Packers and Lions in Detroit.

Packers win: 13-4
