The Packers have allowed 24 or less points in four straight games. They play the Jets in Week 16.

Analysis: The Packers have dropped out of playoff contention and may look to take their frustrations out on the Jets. They'll be gifted with a matchup against a turnover-prone rookie QB in Sam Darnold, who has a 14:15 TD:INT ratio through 11 games. However, the Packers will be without pass-rushing DT Kenny Clark (elbow), who was second on the team with six sacks. That may give Darnold additional time, but the Packers defensive backs are strong and have kept opponents under 240 passing yards in five of…read more

The Packers have forced just five turnovers since their Week 7 bye. They play the Bears in Week 15.

Analysis: The Packers opened the season with a thriller against the Bears as their defense stood strong and allowed just six points in the second half. The Bears still rely on their defense to win games, but their offense has shown glimpses of fire since that matchup as it has settled into coach Matt Nagy's new scheme. In fact, they rank seventh in the league with 27.6 points per game, although a good portion of that comes from a defense that constantly brings turnovers to the pay dirt. The Packers…read more

The Packers rank sixth in the league with 224.0 passing yards allowed per game. They play the Falcons in Week 14.

Analysis: The Packers' strong pass defense will buckle in for a matchup against the Falcons' fifth-ranked pass offense, which features three dangerous wideouts and has racked up over 300 passing yards in five of the last six games. The Packers remain injured in the secondary and don't appear equipped to handle that fire power. They still rank fourth in the league with 38 sacks but just lost DE Mike Daniels (foot) for the season and may see their pass rush suffer as a result. This could turn into a…read more

The Packers have allowed over 123 rushing yards in five of the last six games. They play the Cardinals in Week 13.

Analysis: Cardinals RB David Johnson is beginning to look more comfortable since the coaching change, notching at least 100 scrimmage yards in three of the last four outings. Still, the offense is ran through rookie QB Josh Rosen who is prone to turnovers, with the Cardinals coughing up the ball 22 times this season to rank sixth-worst in the league. Although the Packers have forced a turnover in just two of the last five games, this will be an excellent opportunity to get back on track. Either way, the…read more

The Packers have allowed 27 or more points in five their last six games. They play the Vikings in Week 12.

Analysis: Two teams that are looking to save their seasons will play for the second time, as the first outing ended in a 29-29 tie due to multiple missed field goals. The Packers defense has turned a corner since then in terms of pass rush, as they rank third in the league with 34 sacks and they dropped QB Kirk Cousins twice earlier this year. However, Cousins was still able to rack up 425 yards, four touchdowns and a pick on the road, and he'll benefit from home-field advantage this time around. If it's…read more

The Packers have allowed over 120 rushing yards in four straight games. They play the Seahawks in Week 11.

Analysis: No team in the league has more rushing attempts (288) or yards (1,370) than the Seahawks. Their commitment to the ground game will be backed by three healthy running backs since Chris Carson (hip) has been cleared to return from a one-game absence. While Carson was out, rookie Rashaad Penny finally arrived with 108 rushing yards and a touchdown versus the Rams in Week 10, with Mike Davis chipping in 80 scrimmage yards and a score. QB Russell Wilson can beat teams with his feet as well. This…read more

CB Kevin King (hamstring) is unlikely to play Week 10 versus the Dolphins.

Analysis: King's injury is on top of Kentrell Brice's knee issue and Blake Martinez's high-ankle sprain. The Packers have allowed 29 or more points in each of the last four games and had just three turnovers (all of them in one week) in that span. Still, the opponent provides relief, as the Dolphins have been held under 23 points in five of the last six games and coughed up the ball nine times. They're expected to start Brock Osweiler, who has been inconsistent with a 5:3 TD:INT ratio through his four…read more

The Packers have failed to force a turnover in two of their last three games. They play the Patriots in Week 9.

Analysis: The Packers' strength is against the pass, as they rank fifth in the league with 221.7 yards allowed per game. Don't expect them to maintain that mark against QB Tom Brady, who has thrown for 320 yards in three of the last four games. There is some relief with Brady turning the ball over more than usual, as he has 16 touchdowns and seven interceptions through eight games. Regardless, this game has all the makings of a shootout -- two all-time great, matchup-proof quarterbacks with multiple…read more

The Packers have allowed just one 300-yard passer in six games. They play the Rams in Week 8.

Analysis: The Rams are scoring 33.6 points per game to rank third in the league, but the passing attack could lightly regress without Cooper Kupp (knee). While the Packers rank fifth in the league with 211.8 passing yards allowed per game, but they struggle against the run, yielding 116.5 rushing yards per game to rank 21st. The Rams' offense is the most-dynamic unit along with the Chiefs, as it can beat teams through the air and on the ground and rarely turns the ball over (11 times in seven games). It…read more

CB Jaire Alexander continues to nurse a groin injury but has a chance to play Week 6 against the 49ers.

Analysis: Despite allowing 31 points to the Lions in Week 5, the Packers should be able to bounce back against an injury-riddled 49ers squad that will likely be missing starting RB Matt Breida (ankle). Quarterback C.J. Beathard will also be under center after tossing two interceptions in both of his first two starts of the season. The matchup gives the Packers D/ST plenty of upside in Week 6, making them a worthy streaming option across all settings.

The Packers shut out the Bills and forced three turnovers in Week 4. They'll play the Lions in Week 5.

Analysis: The Packers got under the skin of rookie QB Josh Allen, but they'll have a tougher matchup with the Lions' Matthew Stafford, who has completed 68 percent of his passes for 1,202 yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions this season. Much of the Packers' defensive value last week came by getting to the quarterback, but Stafford has been dropped just six times so far and doesn't appear frazzled under pressure. The Packers have been strong against the pass this year allowing just 218.5 yards…read more

The Packers signed CB Bashaud Breeland before Week 4's game against the Bills.

Analysis: Breeland has the likes of a top cornerback, but he's been unable to stay healthy to this point. He'll bolster a secondary that desperately needs guys that can make plays on the ball, and he's broken up 60 passes over four years in the league. The Bills just finished trouncing the Vikings 27-6, but its offense still accrued just 292 yards since it was gifted good field position by its defense. The facts remain the same about the Bills' offense: it has a brutal offensive line and no run game as…read more

The Packers tied the Vikings 29-29 in Week 2. They'll play the Redskins in Week 3.

Analysis: The Packers defense solid with two sacks, one interception -- another got negated by Clay Matthews' late-hit penalty -- and a blocked punt to create a reasonable day. The Redskins are a shaky offense that watched RB Adrian Peterson average 1.8 yards on 11 carries in Week 2 with no other consistent run game available. That means a good chunk of pressure will be on the Packers secondary that allowed Vikings QB Kirk Cousins to throw 425 yards and four touchdowns in Week 2. If Redskins QB Alex…read more

Cornerbacks Davon House (shoulder) and Damarious Randall (knee) are battling injuries ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

Analysis: The Packers were able to keep a strong Vikings' pass attack to just 124 yards and 16 points in Week 16 without Randall, but having him and House back would certainly help against a Lions passing game that ranks sixth in the league. Still, the Packers got embarrassed by the Lions at home earlier this season, allowing 30 points and 417 total yards. This indoor game will be friendly for Lions QB Matthew Stafford, especially if Clay Matthews (groin) and Nick Perry (ankle) aren't able to pressure…read more

LB Nick Perry is nursing ankle and shoulder injuries ahead of Saturday's contest against the Vikings.

Analysis: Perry is just the start of a long list of defensive injuries for the Packers. If Davon House (shoulder/back) can't return this week, CB Damarious Randall will be the only cornerback healthy that was also a Week 1 starter. The Vikings compiled 23 points in their first matchup of the season, and that was against a much healthier Packers' defense. To add to the issues, the Vikings are fighting for home field in the NFC playoffs, while the Packers have been eliminated and will be without Aaron…read more

CB Davon House (shoulder/back) will sit out of Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Analysis: The Packers are in the midst of a playoff hunt right now, just as the Panthers are heating up. The Panthers pass attack has struggled lately, but they've played considerable pass defenses, somewhere the Packers will likely struggle without House. Still, the Packers have been able to force six turnovers in the last three games, which gives them the slight potential of a high ceiling. However, with QB Aaron Rodgers as their offensive support, this game looks like it has just as good of a shot at…read more

CB Kevin King (shoulder) is out for the rest of the season.

Analysis: Being without King will affect the Packers more down the line, but in Week 14, they're a must start. The Packers defense has forced a turnover in all but one game this season, including DT Dean Lowry running a fumble back for a touchdown in Week 13. This plays in their favor, as the Browns have turned the ball over 30 times, including a league-high 21 interceptions. To add insult to injury, the Browns have only scored 20 or more points twice this season, setting the Packers up for one of their…read more

DT Kenny Clark continues to nurse an ankle injury ahead of Sunday's matchup with Tampa Bay.

Analysis: Without Clark against the Steelers in Week 12, the Packers defense allowed over 100 yards of rushing for the first time since Week 7 against the Saints' powerful run game. If Clark can't play, the Packers will still worry about the Bucs' third-ranked passing offense, though. QB Jameis Winston is returning and he'll have all the weapons at his disposal if DeSean Jackson (foot) proves to be fine. The Packers proved how vulnerable they are to a star receiver in Week 12, when Antonio Brown schooled…read more

DT Kenny Clark (ankle) isn't expected to play Sunday night against the Steelers.

Analysis: Clark hasn't missed a game since entering the league in 2016, so it's unclear how the Packers will play in his absence. Their big issue is Big Ben, though. QB Ben Roethlisberger is lights out at home during prime time. In his career, he has a 67.6 percent completion rate, while throwing 45 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, battling to an 18-3 record. The Packers defense has actually stepped up in some facets lately, but the lack of offensive support continues to be troubling to their floor. This…read more

SS Morgan Burnett (groin) and LB Nick Perry (foot) are nursing injuries ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Analysis: CB Kevin King (shoulder) is also dealing with injuries, and if he's unable to play, the Packers secondary could look skimp. However, they're matching up with the worst-ranked pass offense in the league, giving them some room for error. The Packers' defense has been doing its best to pick up the slack without Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) and they did well against the Bears in Week 10, allowing just 16 points and forcing a turnover. Green Bay will face a tough test against the Ravens' run offense…read more

SS Morgan Burnett (groin) won't play Sunday against the Bears.

Analysis: It's apparent things aren't going well for the Packers, and losing one of their top defensive players only amplifies their issues. Green Bay does draw a favorable matchup against rookie QB Mitchell Trubisky, who has completed a horrid 47.5 percent of his passes over the last four games. Regardless, the Packers' offense has been brutal the without Aaron Rodgers, losing both the time-of-possession battle in the last two games, logging under 24 minutes of possession each time. The Bears' defense…read more
