Packers 2021 schedule release: Predictions for each game, final record
Week 9: at Kansas City Chiefs
It doesn’t get much more challenging than this, a road game at Arrowhead Stadium. As we’re assuming Aaron Rodgers is still the starter in Green Bay, we could finally see the Rodgers versus Patrick Mahomes battle we missed out on in 2019. Unfortunately, the 2018 MVP overcomes the 2020 MVP and the Packers head home after a loss. The incredible undefeated run ends. Kansas City 34, Green Bay 31 (8-1)
Week 10: Seattle Seahawks
This has been a great rivalry over the past decade. Since 2009, the Packers are 5-4 against the Seahawks, including 1-1 in the playoffs. Notably, the home team has won all nine of those contests. Is it time that changed? Nope. It’s another win for Green Bay over Seattle at Lambeau in the first meeting of these teams since the 2019 divisional round. Green Bay 27, Seattle 24 (9-1)
Week 11: at Minnesota Vikings
Despite winning on their previous two visits to U.S. Bank Stadium, the return of fans will make this a tough challenge again. Especially if the Vikings can bounce back from a disappointing 2020 season. Under LaFleur, the Packers have been very good in divisional games, but they can’t win them all. They lose a close battle in Minnesota. Minnesota 24, Green Bay 21 (9-2)
Week 12: Los Angeles Rams
The Packers were the better team when they met the Rams in last year’s divisional round. With Aaron Donald healthy and Matthew Stafford replacing Jared Goff at quarterback, it’s far closer this time and the Rams leave Lambeau with an upset victory. Sean McVay makes it 1-1 head-to-head against Matt LaFleur in what should be a great game. Los Angeles 33, Green Bay 30 (9-3)
