R T Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Not the betting public, but the betting house. This is a thousand simulations with each possible NFC opponent playing in GB. Tampa Bay - Win Probability TB 52.6%, GB 47.4% - Median Score TB 27, GB 26 Dallas - Win Probability GB 50.3%, Dallas 49.7% - Median Score GB 27, Dallas 27 LA Rams - Win Probability GB 52.9%, Rams 47.1% - Median Score GB 25, Rams 24 Arizona - Win Probability GB 55.5%, Arizona 44.5% - Median Score GB 26, Arizona 24 49er's - Win Probability GB 56.6%, 49er's 43.4% - Median Score GB 26, 49er's 24 Eagles - Win Probability GB 61.8%, Eagles 38.2% - Median Score GB 28, Eagles 23 Vegas is not as sold on the Packers as the fans and media are, not a great deal of margin for error for the Packers by these numbers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I don't get it with Dallas. I think they're the biggest fraud in the NFC. Their "quality" win this season is beating a rookie QB-led Patriots team in OT at New England and that was really before Jones started playing well. That's it. They don't have a single other win this year against a quality opponent. I'm hoping they beat SF just because I don't want to play SF, but that game is a toss up at best. Don't fear the Rams or Cardinals at Lambeau in sub-10 degree weather. Rams are soft and have the worst OL in the playoffs and the Cards are simply unimpressive without Hopkins and it doesn't look like he's coming back by next week. I know people probably don't want to admit it but Tampa is still, by far IMO, the biggest obstacle for GB getting to the SB. With Tampa you have to beat a veteran team who's been there, a very good front 7, a very good DC in Bowles, Brady and his constant stream of lucky breaks, and the refs. For me, our competition is Tampa....and then everyone else pretty much lumped together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people agree with this.......just saying it differently: Tampa has the formula - a proven formula - to beat us. Have injuries degraded them enough to take that shine off? Wont know till (if or when) we have to play them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, it was a pretty nice day in Green Bay when Tampa came to town. We need a cold game in that one. Brady is used to it, but it impact some of the other guys.

MacReady Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Because the Packers are a pretender team again. Their defense relies on turnovers. It’s not a good defense. It’s soft. The Packers are going to get blown out of their own building again in probably the Championship game again and it’s once again going to be because the defense won’t be able to stop anybody without a turnover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did they choose 1000 simulations while others use 10,000 or 50,000 ? No link means we can't endeavor to learn more. Its pretty hard to reach any useful conclusions without more information. 538 Sports posts their methodology and they have the Packers with the highest odds of winning the Super Bowl. see belowhttps://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2021-nfl-predictions/ They are but one of many betting models available. ( ELO and modified ELO) Sagarin posts their NFL team ratings and uses a synthesis of (3) different score-based models to arrive at their results Predictor, Golden Mean and Recent. See below http://sagarin.com/sports/nflsend.htm There are a ton of legit models & simulations out there and they all have their plusses and minuses. But we need much more info if we're going to give any credibility to what these models suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your link to Jeff Sagarin suggests the same caution as the numbers I shared, Sagarin thinks the Packers are the 6th best team in the NFL. The numbers I shared were to shed light on how tight these games may be head-to-head for GB, that was all I was attempting to point out.

Are we the 6th best team with Bakhtiari, Z, Jaire, Mercilus, and Turner on hand. I think we are a bit better than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
