Green Bay Packers Wagering
In today’s NFL team season preview we cover current Green Bay Packers wagering odds for the upcoming 2018-19 NFL season. Since the Packers won the Super Bowl in 2010 they have been considered contenders to win the NFC. However, have fallen short over the years because they have been overly reliant on quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Currently most NFL sites for online betting have the Packers as +1200 to win the Super Bowl.
Last season Rodgers suffered a serious injury. The injury forced him to miss most of the season. The Packers were exposed and managed only three wins without Rodgers in the lineup.
This year, the Packers will have a healthy Rodgers. However, the team might still struggle because of some of the offseason moves they made. Their odds to win the Super Bowl are currently +1200.
One of the biggest changes the Packers made this offseason was to release wide receiver Jordy Nelson. Nelson had 53 receptions for 482 yards and six touchdowns last season. Previously, he had gained 1,257 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Nelson had 290 yards and six touchdowns in the five games he played with Rodgers before the quarterback was injured. Nelson would likely have been the team’s top receiver if Rodgers had stayed healthy.

Now, Nelson is in Oakland and the Packers will be hoping Davante Adams can fill the void left by the former Pro Bowler.
The good news for Rodgers and the Packers is they might finally have an effective running game this season. Last year, the team had a revolving door at the position, but they were able to rush for 1,700 yards and 13 touchdowns. You can find this information plus more about NFL betting here.
Obviously, Rodgers’ absence and Brett Hundley’s inexperience forced the team to run the ball more than they usually do, but they will need to continue running the ball this season to avoid putting too much pressure on Rodgers.
Defensively, the Packers gave up the third most points in the NFC, and they tried addressing their defensive issues through the NFL Draft.
With a young defense and shaky offensive line, as well as the Minnesota Vikings loading up their team, it will be impressive if the Packers win 10 games next season.
