The Green Bay Packers fared well in the 2024 season, finishing 11-5 and with the seventh seed in the highly competitive NFC. So dominant was the NFC this season that, despite improving their record by two wins, the Packers finished with the same seed in the NFL Playoffs this past season as they did in 2023 when they went 9-8.
With their Wild Card Round loss to the eventual Super Bowl LIX Champion Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay played a total of 18 games in 2024-25. For those fans interested in sports betting, they went 9-9 against the spread in those games.
The Green Bay Packers Were a Hard Team to Bet on (Against the Spread) in 2024
For those that might wonder what does 1.5 spread mean, for example, the simple explanation is that it is an over/under by how many points the game will be determined by. Bettors on a 1.5 spread can take the over, meaning they believe the game will be determined by two points or more. Those who take the under are betting that it will be determined by one point.
If a team has -1.5 odds in a game, that means they are favored to win by more than 1.5 poins. Teams with +1.5 odds are predicted to lose by the same margin.
According to Team Rankings, the Packers were a difficult team for sports bettors to predict when it came to the spread:
| Game | Spread | Final Score |
| Week 1: Eagles | +1.0 | 29-34 |
| Week 2: Colts | +2.0 | 16-10 |
| Week 3: Titans | +3.0 | 30-14 |

As one can see from the data above, the Packers lost several games that they were favored to win, but also won games they were predicted to lose, particularly in the early weeks of the season.
Heading into 2025, it will be interesting to see how various sportsbooks view Green Bay. Of course, much of that will be determined by who they sign in NFL free agency and who they take in the 2025 NFL Draft.
