Packers: Game-by-game predictions for 2021 regular season

Week 15 at Ravens

Another tough AFC opponent on the road. The Ravens are without J.K. Dobbins for the year with a torn ACL, but they still have Lamar Jackson on offense. He’s going to be tough to stop through the air or on the ground.

Their secondary is one of the best in the NFL. Rodgers and the passing game could run into some trouble in Baltimore. They will need to rely on their running game to move the ball.

At the end of the day, this is going to be a tough game for the Packers. Uncommon opponent and on the road against a quarterback who is a year removed from winning the MVP award.

Packers 17, Ravens 26 (9-5)

Week 16 vs. Browns

The Browns are an up-and-coming team, but I didn’t think they are there yet. This is going to be a big turning point for the season. A win over the Browns could be exactly what the Packers need to go into the playoffs hot.

I think the defense is going to be able to get to Baker Mayfield and cause some problems. Mayfield can be a bit of a wildcard and turnover-prone.

Home-field advantage late in the season is going to be big in this game. Packers roll.

Packers 30, Browns 21 (10-5)

Week 17 vs. Vikings

Packers get their revenge on the Vikings late in the season. The cold weather will help neutralize Kirk Cousins and the Vikings’ passing game, allowing them to stack the box a bit more to slow down Cook.

I think the Pack starts out hot and stays up double-digits throughout the game.

Packers 34, Vikings 20 (11-5)

Week 18 vs. Lions

Green Bay gets a very winnable game at the end of the season. Depending on playoff seeding, the Packers may be able to rest some starters before this game. But assuming they don’t, I think Green Bay is going to roll and cap off the regular season with three straight wins and enter the playoffs on fire.

Packers 27, Lions 10 (Final record: 12-5)
