How did the Green Bay Packers Perform in the 2021 Season?

The Green Bay Packers won their third consecutive AFC North division championship in 2021 and topped the NFC North with a superb 13 (wins) – 4 (losses) – 0 (tied) record.

Green Bay Packers Changes for 2022

The major ins for the Green Bay Packers for the 2022 season include the re-signing of veteran quarterback and four-time NFL most valuable player Aaron Rodgers. This will make it his eighteenth season at the Packers. Wide receiver Allen Lazard is retained by the Packers while linebacker De’Vondre Campbell also re-signs on a five-year contract.

The biggest loss to the Packers is the trade of long-serving wide receiver Davante Adams to Las Vegas Raiders. Outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith was released by the Packers and has been signed by Minnesota Vikings. Another wide receiver in Marquez Valdes-Scantling has signed a contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Green Bay Packers Key Players

With star wide receiver Devante Adams leaving, the Greens may have to run the ball more with running back Aaron Jones, an NFL rushing touchdown co-leader in 2019 and Pro Bowl select in 2020. As an outside linebacker, expect Rashan Gary to be making sacks on the opposing quarterback.

Betting on the Green Bay Packers

The many different available bets can be a little bit confusing, especially for a beginner. In reality, they are simple to understand. Check out some betting opportunities available for the Green Bay Packers in the 2022 NFL season.

Moneyline

It is easy to understand a moneyline bet and you can try one by backing the Green Bay Packers if you think they are going to win a game outright. For example, the Packers played the Arizona Cardinals in week 8 of the 2021 season. The Cardinals remained unbeaten since the beginning of the regular season and were a heavy favourite to win priced at 1.34 while the Packers had odds at 2.35. These odds may have been of interest to many as the Packers had only lost one game since the start of the season and they went on to win the game 24 – 21.

Spread (Handicap Betting)

A spread bet is backing a team to win by a minimum number of points. A points addition or subtraction is applied to the final score. The stronger team must win by a certain number of points and the underdog must either win the game or not lose by more than a certain number of points. 

For example, the Packers played the Chicago Bears in week 14 of the 2021 season. The provided spread for the game was -11.5 for the Packers and +11.5 for the Bears. The game’s result was 45 – 30 in favour of the Packers. Assuming a bet was placed on the Packers the bet will have been won as they won by more than 11.5 points. If the Packers had only scored 41 points the bet will have been lost. The typical odds for a spread bet are 1.91.

Total Points

A predetermined number of total points is set and all you have to do is bet over or under. For example, the Packers played the Minnesota Vikings in week 17 of the 2021 season. The betting line was set at 42. To win the over bet, the teams would have had to score a collective total of 43 points or more. To win the under bet the total points would have to equal 41 or less. If the total points ended as 42 the bet would result in a push.

Prop Wagers

When making a prop bet, you are placing a wager on an event other than the outcome of the game. Here are some examples.

• A specific player to score a touchdown at any time during the game
• Over/under the total number of successful field goals the Packers will kick
• Over/under the total number of completions quarterback Aaron Rodgers will throw
• Which team will be leading the game at half-time
• Aaron Jones to score the first touchdown of the game
