Predicting each game on the Green Bay Packers 2026 schedule.
The Green Bay Packers ended the 2025 season on a tough note, dropping five games in a row. This included a loss to the rival Chicago Bears in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
But Green Bay is back and ready to get back to title contention in 2026. While the team will be without some key pieces for the first part of the season, there is still a lot of confidence throughout the organization.
The Packers believe that they are Super Bowl contenders, and many experts believe they are as well. But how many games will Green Bay win this year?
Here is a game-by-game prediction for each contest on the Packers' 2026 schedule:
Week 1: at Vikings, Win
Playing without a few players on the road, against a division rival, seems like a recipe for a loss. But the Packers find a way to sneak out of Minnesota with a big season-opening win.
Week 2: at Jets, Win
The Packers easily handle the Jets, with Geno Smith throwing two garbage time touchdowns.
Love matches with three touchdowns in the game of his own.
Week 3: vs Falcons, Win
The Packers are a better team than the Falcons, no matter who is under center. Jordan Love plays well here, giving Green Bay its third straight win to open the year.
Week 4: at Buccaneers, Loss
Green Bay's win streak comes to an end at the hands of Baker Mayfield. Tampa Bay wins on a last second field goal, stunning the Packers.
Week 5: vs Bears, Win
In a rematch from the playoffs, the Packers get the best of this game. It will be a close contest, but Green Bay finds a way to win.
Week 6: vs Cowboys, Loss
Micah Parsons returns in this game, just in time to face his old team. Parsons gets two sacks in his return, but the Cowboys find a way to upset the Packers.
Week 7: at Lions, Loss
Jared Goff leads a drive in overtime to take down the Packers. Detroit hands the Packers its second loss of the season.
Week 8: vs Panthers, Win
Bryce Young was better a year ago, but his inconsistency shows up again in this game. Green Bay gets a huge interception late to seal the win.
Week 9: at Patriots, Loss
Drake Maye runs all over the Packers defense, earning a big win for the Patriots at home. Dropping three out of the last four games, some panic ensues around Green Bay.
Week 10: vs Vikings, Win
The panic doesn't set in for long, with the Vikings coming to town. Green Bay takes out some frustration here, sacking Murray four times.
The Packers get back in the win column heading into the bye week.
Week 11: Bye Week
Week 12: at Rams, Loss
Coming off the bye, the Packers play arguably the best team in the NFL. Myles Garrett and Micah Parsons playing against one another makes for must-see TV, but in the end, Matthew Stafford outplays Love.
Week 13: at Saints, Win
Tyler Shough and Love trade punches throughout the game, with the Saints putting up a good fight. But the Packers win a way to win this game, setting up a big matchup next week against the Buffalo Bills.
Week 14: vs Bills, Win
In a highly-anticipated game between two great teams, Love slightly outperforms Josh Allen. Green Bay gets a huge stop at the end of the game to earn the massive win, making a big statement.
Week 15: vs Dolphins, Win
Playing old friends Malik Willis and Jeff Hafley, the Packers have a fun reunion. But that fun ends quickly for the Dolphins, with Green Bay winning this game by more than 20.
Week 16: at Bears, Win
Returning to Soldier Field for the first time since the playoff loss, the Packers only goal is to get some revenge. Parsons helps in this quest, getting two sacks in the game.
Green Bay takes the win.
Week 17: vs Texans, Win
Playing the Texans defense won't be easy. But the Packers defense its too bad themselves.
Green Bay swarms C.J Stroud, giving the Packers a big victory toward the end of the season.
Week 18: vs Lions, Win
The final week of the season being Lions and Packers is always fun. Both teams could be vying for playoff positioning, and with this game being played at Lambeau Field, I give the edge to Green Bay.
The Packers take the game to get into the playoffs.
Final Prediction: 12-5, wins the NFC North
