Week 10: vs Dallas Cowboys

Mike McCarthy finally returns to Green Bay in what should be a warm welcome. The Cowboys will have to figure some stuff out next season, but they’re still tough to take down. Fortunately, the Packers will thrive in front of their home crowd and rise to the challenge.

Prediction: Win

Record: 7-3

Week 11: vs Tennessee Titans

Four days later the Packers are expected to turn around and play on Thursday Night Football against the Titans. It won’t be easy to slow down the beast known as Derrick Henry. The good news is Green Bay has just enough firepower to get the job done.

Prediction: Win

Record: 8-3

Week 12: at Philadelphia Eagles

The Packers keep their win streak moving after a mini-bye when they defeat the Eagles in Philadelphia. Green Bay is too good to let a team like this beat them with the season creeping into December.

Prediction: Win

Record: 9-3

Week 13: at Chicago Bears

In their final game before their bye (finally!), Green Bay will take down another divisional opponent to run their win streak to five and push their record to 10-3 after a somewhat slow 2-2 start. That’s what Green Bay does.

Prediction: Win

Record: 10-3
