I still say 13-4.

I'm on the fence 12-5 or 13-4.
I think the difference would be if they go 4-2 or 5-1 in the division.
Theyâre going 4-13 now thanks to YaYa
13-4. We sweep the North and make winning at Lambeau a priority, again.
I'll play it safe 11-6. There are always hiccups.
I will go 10-7 or 11-6. I think the NFCN is going to be really rough this year and with the four games in a row on national TV is going to be tough as well.
But, that being said (and I say it every year it seems) if the defense really steps up I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they could win 13.
I think 12-5 with the 1st game being key. IF they beat the Eagles, they could go 13-4. That first game has our new DC going against the Eagles new OC and our experienced HC calling plays against their old, experienced, ânewâ DC.

11 hours and no thumbs down.
World record
Just get to 9 or 10 wins by Thanksgiving ðĶ
Then watch the magic unfold in December. ð
12 - 5. Couple of road losses and a couple of unexpected home losses. And one toss up loss. Minor injuries that keep a some guys out of key games will be the difference. But none of those injuries will be season ending type and those guys will all be back at full strength for the playoffs.
11-6
I'll predict a strong start and finish based on how the schedule lines up. I think they'll lose some games during the middle of the year that they should have won. I think the Bears will also beat them in Chicago this year.
I think they'll also still struggle on the road in general. It's still a very young team and it's not easy to win on the road in the NFL.
I'll say 7-2 at home, 1-0 neutral site, and 3-4 on the road. The Lions will win the division, but the Packers will win at least one playoff game during the wild card round.
Week 1 Philadelphia in Brazil WIN 1-0
Week 2 Colts at home WIN 2-0
Week 3 at Titans WIN 3-0
Week 4 Vikings at home WIN 4-0
Week 5 at LA Rams Loss 4-1
Week 6 Cards at home Win 5-1
Week 7 Texans at home Loss 5-2
Week 8 at Jaguars Loss 5-3
Week 9 Lions at home Win 6-3
Week 11 at Bears Loss 6-4
Week 12 Niners at home Loss 6-5
Week 13 Dolphins at home Win 7-5
Week 14 at Detroit Loss 7-6
Week 15 at Seattle Win 8-6
Week 16 Saints at home Win 9-6
Week 17 at Vikings Win 10-6
Week 18 Bears at home Win 11-6
11-6 and I collect on my wager.
I was fooled last year but Love got paid now. I don't see a loss.
10-7. there will be some bumps in the road
15-2
They go 12-5 then it gets adjusted to 10-5 at the end of the year.
The Bears do so poorly, the league decides that wins against them no longer count.
Wk 1 at Philadelphia W 1-0
Wk 2 vs Colts W 2-0
Wk 3 at Titans W 3-0
Wk 4 vs Vikings W 4-0
Wk 5 at LA Rams W 5-0
Wk 6 vs Cards W 6-0
Wk 7 vs Texans W 7-0
Wk 8 at Jaguars L 7-1
Wk 9 vs Lions W 8-1

Hate to break it to ya....but Packers are not losing that Niner game this year. They have it circled.
Now the Dolphins game, I can see them losing after putting so much into the game the week before vs SF.
Flip flop those and you still have your 11 wins plus it'll mean much more in the standings.

The Mighty Green Bay Packers will win 14 games in the regular season...
on their way to winning their 14th World Championship in New Orleans
Don't believe me ?
Then riddle me this one: Super LIX = 59
and 5 + 9 = 14
They even have Green and Gold in the damn SB logo.
What more do you need ?
Woooooooooooooo !!!!!
Iâll say 11-6
Too soon! Too soon! I want to see at least part of a pre-season game!
Not quite a prediction, yet it is...
I've always thought the goal every year should be to win the home games and at least split on the road. This year that would be 12-5 or 13-4 with the neutral site game.
Either record could win the division, and given how that affects playoff seeding, that should be Job 1 for the Packers. Any unexpected home loss has to be offset by picking up an additional road win.
I think that is realistic given the schedule and other factors. The biggest difference being they won't lose games like vs the Giants, Raiders, and Falcons last year.
20-0.

The Packers had a really Jekyll & Hyde season in 2023, from early- to- late, but we can still look at their overall performance and glean some insights as we look toward predicting the 2024 campaign
Here's their DVOA ratings from the now-defunct Football Outsiders.
Its a measure of Ootball efficiency vs your peers and they split it up by offense/defense/STs
https://ftnfantasy.com/dvoa/nfl/team-total-dvoa
What you'll see is that despite the early struggles - GB offense was ranked #6 by year end. That's plenty good enough to get you where you want to go
Conversely, the defense came in at # 27 and ST's came in at # 31.
IF those 2 units can improve significantly, the Packers have a real chance
I have immense faith in both Hafley and Bisaccia to get er done
On the defensive side, GB was ranked #13 in points allowed at 21.4 per game
IF they can knock that down by a mere 1.5 pts per game, they'll be in the
Happy Boris zone of giving up less than 20 pts /game

I'd like to make one more comment here as it relates to DC Jeff Hafley.
He's a very very bright dude. And that makes a huge difference on Sunday
If you look at the next two links below, they show 1st half points allowed and 2nd half points allowed for 2023. When there is a huge discrepancy between the 2 halves, it suggests a lack of adjustments and ability to adapt on the fly.
In 2023, the Packers D was 8th in 1st half points allowed
In 2023, the Packers D was 25th in 2nd half points allowed.

When a DC has all week + input from other coaches, he can often do just fine.
But when he has 15 minutes at halftime and limited input from others...you can see the dismal results on Sunday afternoon.
And that's a big part of why I am over the moon about the 2024 squad.
MLF found a really smert DC ( hat tip to chongo)
Go Packers

20 points per game is not asking too much of this defense especially with the talent of their preferred starters. As always, health will be key.

The Giants game and Panthers game last season....I think my hair is still growing back on my head where I pulled it out.
Everything happens for a reason. They probably don't get Hafley if they make a DC change before start of 2023 season.
12-5
I think Love comes out okay this season, but the year of tape may hinder him a bit early. Plus they always seem to lose an infuriating game. The schedule is also tougher and the division is likely tougher. With reasonable health double-digit wins seems like the floor, with 11-13 seemingly most likely.
Iâm going with 13-4 if they arenât decimated by injuries. If the injury bug hits, 11-6. No way we are worse than that.
I donât know if Iâve ever mentioned it, but I have a little big of Gypsy blood in me, and sometimes can see the future with amazing clarity. Hence: By the Super Bowl, the Packers are so hot that on one drive Jordan Love is the Center and snaps the ball to Peter Bowden, who completes a 90 yard pass to Romeo Doubs, who midway to the goal line laterals to Bo Melton, who vaults over 4 DBâs to land in the end zone. Greg Joseph has become such a great field goal kicker that heâs calling his shots, intentionally banking kicks off the left or right uprights, or off the crossbar just to make it more challenging. Packers win 72-3.
Mike Ditka is apoplectic and demands that the NFL put an asterisk on the official results because he swears Jordan Love was over the line of scrimmage on one pass. (Old timers will understand that reference). Woo. That was exhausting. Being a gypsy is quite taxing. The Amazing Royal Wulff needs to take a nap. Later.
1982, Fleetwood Mac, "Gypsy", I loved that song:
