Green Bay Packers football betting odds

It seems that this season the Green Bay Packers will depend on the defense, the betting odds reflect team's weaknesses.

Green Bay Packers football betting odds There was no playoff last NFL season and even though Brett Favre gave the Green Bay Packers four straight wins at the end of the season, 8-8 was not enough. Not much work was done offensively during the offseason, but the Packers lost RB Ahman Green, TE David Martin and FB William Henderson. The rookie from Nebraska Brandon Jackson is lacking the experience and many experts agree that receiver Greg Jennings lacks the skills and confidence to be a reliable threat. Brett Favre and WR Donald Driver work great together and the duo will be the main offensive weapon of the Green Bay Packers for yet another football season.

The defense is good to go for the regular season, Al Harris and Charles Woodson delivering a scary combination and remain two of the best in the league. The Packers added strength with Nick Collins and former Giant Frank Walker. The Green Bay Packers fans are confident that the team will see playoff football this year. The Green Bay Packers scored 38-points in the first-half, as they soared past the Seattle Seahawks 48-10 in preseason play at Lambeau Field. Backup QB Aaron Rodgers threw two TD passes, while completing 10-of-16 for 97 yards for the Packers. James Jones caught four passes, and finished with two touchdowns.

If the Packers continue to win and show a real improvement over the last season, bettors will be happy.
