Green Bay Packers: Game-by-game 2021 record prediction

Week 15: at Baltimore Ravens

Date: Sunday, Dec. 19

Time: 12 p.m. CT

TV: FOX

I don’t like this matchup for the Packers. This defense has struggled against the run in recent years, while the Ravens have led the league in rushing two seasons in a row. Every year, the Packers have one absolute nightmare and get blown out by another playoff contender. Unfortunately, here it is.

Baltimore 38, Green Bay 14 (10-4)

OK, we’ve got that out the way. The Packers return to Lambeau for a Christmas Day showdown with the Browns, who could surprise many and contend for the Super Bowl this season. In a classic inside a snowy Lambeau Field, the Packers make a statement with an impressive win.

Green Bay 31, Cleveland 27 (11-4)

Week 17: vs. Minnesota Vikings

Date: Sunday, Jan. 2

Time: 7:20 p.m. CT

Series sweep over the Vikings, anyone? Here it is. The weather might be cold at Lambeau Field, but the Packers are on fire as they heat up in time for the playoffs.

Green Bay 42, Minnesota 21 (12-4)

With the NFC North title and playoff seeding wrapped up, Jordan Love makes his first NFL start. And it’s a good one. He leads a Packers’ offense sans a few key starters to an impressive road win.
