This week, the Washington Football Team is back on the road as it travels to Green Bay to face the 5-1 Packers. For the second consecutive week, Washington’s struggling defense will face one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks in future Hall-of-Famer Aaron Rodgers.
These two teams enter this Week 7 game heading in entirely different directions. The Packers are 5-1, and after losing the season-opener to the New Orleans Saints, they are winners of their last five games.
Washington’s lost its second consecutive game and third in the last four weeks.
Naturally, the Packers will open this game as big favorites. Tipico Sportsbooks has installed Green Bay as early 9.5-point favorites for Sunday’s game. The game features an over/under of 48.5 points.
In Washington’s Week 6 loss to the Chiefs, the over/under was high, and a slow first half kept the number from being reached. Green Bay’s defense ranks No. 5 in total defense entering Sunday, so Washington’s offense will need to play much better for the WFT to pull off the upset.
