All 5 writers at NFL.com took the Packers to win.
- Ali Bhanpuri: Packers, 24-20
- Brooke Cersosimo: Packers, 27-23
- Dan Parr: Packers, 27-23
- Gennaro Filice: Packers, 27-21
- Tom Blair: Packers, 27-22
From Parr: “I do not like choosing in opposition to Jayden Daniels, who is not going to be intimidated by the tall job of visiting Lambeau Area to face a juiced-up move rush on a brief week. It is also uncomfortable to not be siding with a crew that ran for 220 yards within the opener. But when there may be any shock to the system for Dan Quinn’s squad on this recreation, I anticipate it to be on protection. The Packers’ offensive line is just not going to let the Commanders tee off on the quarterback as soon as once more after Washington posted 22 pressures (second-most within the league) in opposition to the lowly Giants in Week 1. From there, the onus will likely be on Jordan Love. Will we see the man who has gone eight straight regular-season begins with out throwing an interception or the one who threw three picks within the playoff loss to the Eagles? I am cautiously anticipating the previous in opposition to a crew that had simply seven INTs final season (tied for fourth-fewest) and didn’t pressure a turnover final week.”

- Gary Davenport: Packers
- Brad Gagnon: Commanders
- Kris Knox: Packers

- Wes O’Donnell: Commanders

From Davenport: “The three.5-point unfold is hard, however Inexperienced Bay’s robust Week 1 efficiency at house makes it the higher choose. Whereas the Commanders regarded good in Week 1, the Packers had essentially the most spectacular efficiency within the NFC. They waxed a 15-win Lions crew from a 12 months in the past. At Lambeau Area, beneath the lights on a brief week, roll with the house crew.”
