Packers 2019 schedule release: Predictions for every game
Week 14: vs. Washington Redskins
Washington starts over with Case Keenum at quarterback, and this is a game the Packers should feel confident about. The Redskins lost six of their final seven games last year. Is Keenum the solution? Preston Smith makes the game-winning play against his former team and the Packers win at Lambeau. Green Bay 30, Washington 20 (8-5)
Week 15: vs. Chicago Bears
To have a chance of winning the NFC North, the Packers can’t afford to lose important division games at home. And they certainly can’t get swept by the Bears. In an important game at Lambeau Field, the Packers defense makes a key turnover to give the home team the win. Green Bay 28, Chicago 20 (9-5)
Week 16: at Minnesota Vikings (Monday Night Football)
U.S. Bank Stadium has not been a fun place for the Packers to visit. Green Bay is 0-3 in Minnesota’s new stadium and will be looking to end its losing streak this season. Can the Packers pull off the upset and pick up an important road win? Unfortunately, my prediction is a fourth straight loss at U.S. Bank Stadium. Minnesota 24, Green Bay 17 (9-6)
Week 17: at Detroit Lions
The Packers’ recent record at Ford Field isn’t great. Green Bay is 2-4 in its past six trips to Detroit, and let’s not forget that one of those victories required a last-second Hail Mary to win the game. But this is a new era under LaFleur, and the Packers pick up a huge road win within the division. Green Bay 30, Detroit 21 (10-6)
