Predict the Packers’ record in NFC North games in 2026

The Green Bay Packers entered the 2025 season with high expectations but stumbled early in their NFC North schedule, dropping their first divisional game to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1. After building a 22-10 lead late in the third quarter, the Packers collapsed, allowing 29 consecutive points to fall behind in a 41-31 defeat.

Now at 0-1 in divisional matchups with five remaining, they face the Chicago Bears in Week 5, where backup quarterback Tyson Bagent will lead the Bears after their starters delivered two straight wins. A Packers victory would level the division race, as they currently trail the Bears by one game at 2-2 overall.

The team’s upcoming slate includes a Week 7 road trip to Detroit, a Week 10 home game against Minnesota, and back-to-back meetings with Chicago in Weeks 16 and 17. Last season, Green Bay swept the Detroit Lions but split with the Vikings and Bears, finishing 4-2 in divisional play, while their 2024 campaign included a 1-5 record in the NFC North despite an 11-6 overall mark.

Fans and analysts are now debating whether the Packers can rebound to reach at least .500 in their remaining divisional games, or even surpass that mark with a sweep of one or more rivals.
