As hard as it may be to believe, we're already at the midway mark of this 2026 NFL regular season.
And while the Green Bay Packers didn't get off to the greatest start, losing two of their first three and needing overtime to get the win they did get against the New York Jets, they've since won five of six, improving to 6-3 this past Sunday with a dominant 45-27 victory over the New England Patriots.
Despite this 6-3 record, however, the Packers wildly find themselves in last place in the highly competitive NFC North, which could very well send all four teams to the postseason.
In fact, if the playoffs started today, all four would be in, with the Chicago Bears (7-2) currently owning the No. 2 seed, the Detroit Lions (6-2) owning the No. 5 seed, the Minnesota Vikings (6-2) owning the No. 6 seed, and the Packers owning the No. 7 seed. So, that'll be a fun storyline to follow in the second half of the season.
The ultimate goal, of course, is to lift the Lombardi Trophy at season's end, and as we're at the halfway point of the year, we figured this would be a good time to take another look at how oddsmakers are feeling about Super Bowl 61.

As you can see, at +2100, the Packers rank 11th overall and sixth among NFC teams, which is about right where they should be at this point. And we're quite certain that every Cheesehead reading this noticed that Green Bay sits just above the rival Vikings, who sit 12th overall at +2200, although the two teams do share the same odds to represent the NFC in the Big Game at +950.
To that end, it is a bit interesting that while the defending champion Seattle Seahawks sit a couple of spots above Green Bay on the overall list in ninth at +1600, they sit below both the Packers and Vikings in the NFC rep column at +960.
As it pertains to just the odds to win the NFC North, which we didn't list above, there was a surprise in there as well. The first-place Bears currently lead the way in that regard at +160, with the Lions taking second at +240. But while Green Bay is ahead of Minnesota on the Super Bowl list, it's the Vikings who sit in third here at +285, with the Packers well behind, bringing up the rear at +550. So, take that for what you will.
The Packers and Vikings, of course, will meet for the second time this season on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field. Green Bay held a 12-point lead in the first meeting back in Week 1 before Minnesota reeled off 29 consecutive points en route to a 39-22 victory. If Matt LaFleur & Co. can even the score, it'll certainly be interesting to see how all these odds change.
