The Packers Super Bowl odds give them the sixth-shortest odds to win the Lombardi Trophy, shared with the 49ers, Eagles, Patriots, and Chargers.

Do Packers Have a Chance to Make the Playoffs?

Yes, the Packers have a chance to make the playoffs as the new season approaches. Green Bay reached the postseason last year, which adds to the optimism heading into 2026–27.

Key Contributors Towards Packers Playoff Chances

Green Bay will lean on its core group after a roster shake-up and no first-round pick in the upcoming draft, putting added pressure on internal development.

At the center is Jordan Love, whose continued growth and chemistry with a young receiving group will be critical. That unit includes Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed, and Christian Watson, with Tucker Kraft returning from injury to pair with Luke Musgrave as a promising tight end duo.

In the backfield, Josh Jacobs remains the lead option and is expected to carry the bulk of the workload, supported by MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks to round out the rotation.

On defense, Micah Parsons is the focal point as he works back from injury, while veteran addition Javon Hargrave strengthens the interior. Devonte Wyatt could also provide a boost if he returns to form.

The Packers have a lot to prove this season. After returning to the playoffs last year, the next step is making a deeper postseason run.

Are the Packers Out of the Playoff Picture?

No, the Packers are not out of the playoff picture. With the offseason underway, every team enters the year with a chance to make the postseason.

Packers Playoff Picture vs. NFC North

It’s still too early to project how the NFC North will shake out, but the division remains highly competitive. In recent seasons, multiple teams have been in the playoff mix, showing just how tough the race can be. With Detroit continuing to contend and potential changes at quarterback in Minnesota, the division is far from settled heading into the new season.

Where Do the Packers Rank in the NFC Wild Card Playoff Picture?

Since the season has not yet started, it’s too early to determine where the Packers will rank in the NFC Wild Card picture. Green Bay did secure a Wild Card spot last season but was eliminated in the opening round. As the 2026–27 season gets underway, the Wild Card race will begin to take shape, typically becoming clearer around the midpoint of the year.

Can the Packers Get the No. 1 Seed in Playoff Picture?

Yes, the Packers can earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff picture. While projections will shift once the season begins, a strong regular season performance could put Green Bay in position to secure the top spot in the conference.

Packers Playoff Picture Outlook & Predictions

The Packers’ playoff outlook will depend heavily on how this young core develops and stays healthy throughout the season. After dealing with significant injuries last year and losing some depth this offseason, internal improvement will be key.

If Jordan Love continues to progress and the offense finds consistency, Green Bay has the pieces to remain competitive in a tough NFC North. With playmakers on both sides of the ball and a favorable early outlook, the Packers should be firmly in the mix for a playoff spot heading into the 2026–27 season.

Who to Root for if You're a Packers Fan

Packers fans should root against the other teams in the NFC North: the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, and Minnesota Vikings. With Green Bay’s 2026 opponents already set, fans should also keep an eye on matchups involving the:

• Falcons
• Bills
• Panthers
• Dolphins 
• Texans 
• Cowboys 
• Patriots 
• Saints
• Jets 
• Buccaneers
