The Green Bay Packers will look to build on their recent history of making the postseason, having qualified for the playoffs three times in three seasons. Their 2026 season follows a 9-7-1 record and a Wild Card Round elimination after a significant lead loss to the Chicago Bears. Coach Matt LaFleur has previously led the team to 13 wins in multiple seasons, raising expectations for this year despite injury challenges. The Packers' best-case scenario projects a return to a 13-win season if top talents remain healthy. Their floor is set at 9 wins following last year's performance despite injuries to key players like Tucker Kraft, Micah Parsons, and Jordan Love.
