Commanders vs. Packers Odds
Game Preview
The Commanders hosted and defeated the NFC East division rivals, the New York Giants, in Week 1, 21-6. Their running game was flawless, posting 220 rushing yards in 32 runs, which is 6.9 per carry.
Two of three of their touchdowns came via ground, with Deebo Samuel adding one and Jacory Croskey-Merritt the other. Jayden Daniels ran for 68 yards and threw for 233 yards, including one touchdown pass.
Green Bay blew away the Lions, first through the air and then on the ground. Even though the Packers posted only 78 rushing yards, Josh Jacobs delivered the final blows to the Lions, scoring a touchdown and gaining 66 yards on the ground.
Rashan Gary had 1.5 sacks and three QB hits, while Micah Parsons added one sack and one tackle for loss on his debut. Even though he played a limited number of snaps, Parsons’ presence was felt.
Commanders vs. Packers Head to Head
After 40 matches in history, the Packers lead 22-17-1. The last meeting was in 2022 when Washington won at home, 23-21.
Commanders vs. Packers Predictions
Both offenses were smooth in their respective first meetings. We don’t expect that in Green Bay, because they are about to face much harder defensive units. It’s the reason why we pick under 47.5 points.
