The New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers have both shown plenty of grit and determination to grind out five wins apiece this season. Each team can boast a solid defence ranked in the top 10 and an offence capable of doing just enough to claim hard-fought victories.
All that points towards this being a close encounter, so taking 5/6 for the visitors with 3.5 points start seems the safest option for our initial New England Patriots vs Green Bay Packers prediction.

Questions were being asked about quarterback Drake Maye early on in the season as the Patriots lost two of their first three games, scoring a combined total of just 36 points in those matches. However, the 24-year-old has since steadied the ship, even if not quite returning to the form which helped lead New England to a 14-3 record and a place in the Super Bowl last term.
After coming out on top in a tight tussle away to the Buffalo Bills, the Pats eased past the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Jets on home turf before giving the red-hot Chicago Bears a good test in a 30-24 road defeat. Last week, New England laboured badly throughout the first half when visiting the Miami Dolphins but clearly received a rocket from head coach Mike Vrabel during the interval, as a run of 21 unanswered points after the break helped them to prevail 24-19.
Maye has kept things pretty clean of late but that has been against some fairly tame defences and we’re drawn to the fact he has thrown interceptions whenever coming under more pressure against better teams like the Seahawks, Steelers, Jaguars, Bills and Bears. On that evidence, we feel Evens for Green Bay to pick him off at least once here is good value from the Patriots vs Packers odds.
Green Bay Packers Form Guide
The Packers have also had to recover from falling to 1-2 at the start of the season and their subsequent form arguably reads a little bit better, having faced stronger opponents. Following a 17-14 triumph away to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay produced an excellent performance to brush aside Chicago 31-7 and then saw off the Dallas Cowboys 23-13.
Losing 20-17 on the road against the Detroit Lions was no disgrace and last week’s 27-19 victory over the Carolina Panthers was even more impressive when factoring in three turnovers made, including a fumble on the opening kick-off. Admittedly, Green Bay’s last three wins have come at Lambeau Field and the lack of a consistent ground game does mean they rely heavily on QB Jordan Love, but so far the 28-year-old is holding up.
Wide receiver Matthew Golden has really come to the fore in his second season and that is taking the heat off Christian Watson, who is fully justifying this summer’s $110 million four-year contract extension. After catching eight passes against the Panthers, Watson can be backed at 4/6 to have over 4.5 receptions in a game for the sixth time this term and that looks a rock-solid option for our Patriots vs Packers betting tips.
