Packers Given Notable Odds To Win NFC North

 

Through seven weeks, the Green Bay Packers are leading the NFC North.

They’re also tied for the fewest losses in the NFL.

That’s why, despite the strength of the rival Detroit Lions, the Packers are the betting favorites to win their division.

According to BetUS, the Packers have minus-120 odds, followed closely by the Lions at plus-140.

The Chicago Bears (+1200) and Minnesota Vikings (+1600) are the long shots.

Of course, that can change from now until the end of the season, but it’s notable nonetheless.

The Packers defeated the Lions in the season opener, which is Green Bay’s only division game to date.

That means the Packers have five crucial divisional games ahead, so the road to the title is in their hands.

The Packers are loaded on offense, and while they could use some help at cornerback, they also have the defensive personnel to be one of the top teams in the league on that side of the ball as well.

They have failed to fully live up to their hype as a Super Bowl contender, and they will need to be much better than they’ve been lately to live up to their status as the division favorites.

They can start by winning a much-anticipated matchup against Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8.
