What is going on with the Green Bay Packers? They have now lost four of their last five games and find themselves in a real dogfight just for a playoff spot in the NFC. Meanwhile, the Washington Redskins rebounded from losing their first two games of the season, and a have now lost only one game at of their last seven. So perhaps it can be said that these are teams that are moving in opposite directions. They will meet up on Sunday night at 8:30 PM ET at FedEx Field in Landover, and while ABC televises the game, VietBet customers can watch it and place their wagers in real time, using the state-of-the-art software available through Live Betting Ultra.

Packers vs Redskins – CJ’s Take:
Green Bay’s latest defeat, suffered at the hands of the Tennessee Titans, was kind of humiliating, when you take a look at the numbers. Tennessee’s quarterback, Marcus Mariota, pretty much laughed at the pressure Green Bay threw at him, throwing for four touchdown passes and 295 yards. And DeMarco Murray cut a swath through a rushing defense that was one of the highest-rated in the league, gaining 123 yards. Tennessee scored 47 points against the Packers, 35 of them in the first half.Ouch! And now, the Packers go up against a team looking for a little payback after they were more or less humiliated in the wild-card playoff game last season.
The Packers won that January meeting 35-18, holding Kirk Cousins, the guy with the NFL’s highest completion rate, to 29 completions in 46 attempts. Cousins has completed 67% of his passes this season, and has a quarterback rating of 94.8, which is slightly higher than his counterpart, Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers has thrown for 12 touchdowns in his last four games, and he has an outstanding ratio of 22 TDs to just seven interceptions. But he has also thrown for just 6.5 yards per attempt, which is very low for him. In other words, this is not been the most explosive passing attack. And that we say despite the fact that Jordy Nelson has been in the lineup all season long. Davante Adams has emerged as the second option at wide receiver, with 621 yards. But there has admittedly been a problem with injuries at the running back spot, and that is something that has hurt this team. Eddie Lacy is on injured reserve and James Starks, normally a reliable backup, has only 75 yards on the season. So balance is a big problem with the Pack.
The Redskins have had some problems at the running back spot as well, but they have gotten more production in recent weeks then Green Bay has. VietBet patrons know that the team was counting on that Jones at the start of the season, and had a lot of faith in him, which is one of the reasons they let Alfred Morris go. Jones is capable of breaking a lot of runs, but he was inconsistent and has a problem fumbling the football, so Jay Gruden went ahead and replaced him with Rob Kelley, who has proven to be a real find, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. The bottom line here is that the Redskins have a couple of guys who can carry the load back there.
And in the West Coast offense, Cousins has done a pretty good job of distributing the football, as all three of the leading receivers – Jamison Crowder, Pierre Garçon and Jordan Reed – have between 42 and 44 receptions. Then there is DeSean Jackson, who has suffered with injuries, but is always a threat to take it all the way (when healthy). And tight end Vernon Davis has been used more than he was with the 49ers (26 receptions, 382 yards).
These have been two very efficient teams as far as converting on third down; the Packers are at 46.7%, while the Redskins are at 45.3%. Defensively, one might afford the edge to Green Bay, which has kept its opponents to a 38% success rate on third down, as well as 3.6 yards per carry. But as we have seen, the Packers have allowed capable running backs to penetrate their front seven. One key situation here has the Redskins missing Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams, who is out with a suspension. Can the Packers do something to exploit that to its fullest?
Next up for both teams:
- Green Bay at Philadelphia Monday, November 28
- Washington at Dallas Thursday, November 24
