The Green Bay Packers currently hold the 11th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, but this will move up and down plenty of times before the regular season comes to an end.

Many of the teams directly ahead of Green Bay in the draft order are on bye this week, as are the Packers.

But there are a few teams inside the top 10 playing this week.

If you want to see the Packers land the best possible draft pick, here are three teams to root for in Week 14:

Arizona Cardinals (vs. New England Patriots)

The Arizona Cardinals are 4-8 entering Week 14. A win would match the Packers’ 5-8 record. With four games to go, it would make things interesting.

Like Green Bay, Arizona has fallen short of expectations this season, but this is a winnable game. The Cardinals play the Denver Broncos next week, so the potential for back-to-back victories is there.

Jacksonville Jaguars (at Tennessee Titans)

The Jacksonville Jaguars are another 4-8 team that can match Green Bay’s record with a victory in Week 14.

This isn’t a game the Jaguars will be expected to win, on the road against a division rival on track for a playoff berth.

But divisional matchups can be unpredictable, so you never know.

Jacksonville’s remaining schedule is a tough one, so it seems unlikely the Jaguars will get many more than five wins.

Carolina Panthers (at Seattle Seahawks)

Yet another 4-8 team plays this week. The Carolina Panthers can help the Packers in two ways.

A win would improve their record to 5-8, increasing their chances of overtaking Green Bay. That helps with the draft pick.

But it also means the Seattle Seahawks lose. If the Packers can somehow turn things around and win their remaining four games, a Seahawks loss could be key to making the playoffs.

Whichever way you look at it, a Panthers win would be helpful this week.
