Everything was going for the Green Bay Packers this season– Aaron Rodgers likely secured the NFL MVP award, the Packers clinched home field advantage, and secured a spot in the NFC Championship game. For the 2020-21 season, anything besides a Super Bowl run would be considered a letdown. Unfortunately, a letdown the season was as Green Bay was beaten in the NFC Championship by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. To make things worse, coach Matt LaFleur made a highly-criticized call to kick a field goal instead of attempting to tie the ballgame and Rodgers never got the ball back.
Several key pieces including All Pro center Corey Linsley and a handful of starters are set to become free agents this season. However, storylines will be centered around Rodgers’ future with the Packers. The NFL MVP made comments following their playoff exit indicating his future with the team was “uncertain.” With recently-drafted quarterback Jordan Love waiting, will Green Bay send their franchise guy elsewhere to roll with the youngster?
Either way, the 2021-22 Packers will look different than we’re used to in recent years. Did the Super Bowl window close on Aaron Rodgers? Only time will tell.

Online and mobile sportsbooks such as DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook have you covered all year long for your NFL betting desires. Here are the best options for the offseason and through the entire league year:
Betting on the moneyline is the most common and straight-forward of all bet types. You’re backing one team to beat the other straight up with two possible outcomes, outside of the ultra-rare NFL tie. Odds typically range from +200 for underdogs ($10 bet results in $20 profit) to -200 for favorites ($10 bet results in $5 profit), though those odds can extend in either direction for more lopsided mid- or late-season matchups.
A line representing how many points a favorite will need to win by or how many points the underdog will need to stay within in a loss. The most common NFL spreads are 2.5, 3.5, 6.5 and 7.5 representing point differentials of a field goal or a touchdown. The more points a team is favored by, the more difficult it is for them to cash the bet and late-season spreads can extend as high as 13.5 or 17.5 points. Odds typically range from +110 to -110 and teams favored to win the game outright on the moneyline can get plus-money on the spread.
Expressed as an Over/Under, the total asks how many points the two teams will combine to score in the game, in a half or in each quarter. The odds will generally be equal for both the Over and Under on either side of a line ranging from 35.5 to 59.5 points. The more appealing the on-field matchup, the higher the total is likely to be set with more attention on the game from both fans and bettors.
Prop bets are statistic-based bets for a player or a team for the season as a whole or for each individual game. Over/Under lines are set for yardage, carry or reception totals, while other bets ask whether or not specified players will score a touchdown in a game. Odds typically range from -120 to +120. More profitable prop bets exist for things such as first touchdown bets, which group larger pools of players together with different odds for each based on their perceived likelihood of scoring the first touchdown of the game.
Each of the Packers’ top three stars on offense are represented in the 2020 player props. Aaron Rodgers’ passing yards line is set at 4,050.5 with -110 odds on either side. Seven QBs have a higher projection. He’s projected for 26.5 passing touchdowns. Topping that line with 27 or more TDs would be his highest total since 2016 and would result in a profit of $9.09 on an Over bet.
Davante Adams is projected for 1,200.5 receiving yards with -110 odds on either side. He has topped the projection just once in his six-year career. Aaron Jones’ rushing yards line is set at 1,080.5 with -110 odds on both the Over and Under. Four of 11 listed running backs have a lower projection.
Set as soon as one season ends, futures are updated continuously through the league year based on roster moves, team and player success, and public betting action. Futures look at everything from player and coach awards, statistical milestones, team win totals and division and Super Bowl championship chances. Preseason odds for all of these can range from -500 to as high as +20000 (200-1). As favorites emerge in the season, their odds can drop even lower the closer they get to securing the division crown.
Teasers are available on both spread and total bets and allow bettors to adjust the lines to get more profitable higher odds or more secure lower odds in a parlay. Bettors can “buy” or “sell” points to enhance their chances of winning the bet or increase their profit margin. Be cautious, as the more bets included in the parlay, the more difficult it is to win, as all selections will need to play out correctly.
Like futures bets being adjusted throughout a given season, single-game odds are adjusted based on the score or flow of a game. Mobile betting allows fans to get action on a game they’re attending or watching from home with in-play betting. Back a pre-game favorite at more profitable odds if they fall behind by a score or two early on, or back the losing team if a key player suffers an injury on the other side in hopes of a comeback. The spreads and point totals will also be adjusted throughout a game.
Rodgers again topped 4,000 passing yards while playing all 16 games for the second straight season. He threw for a modest 26 touchdowns, but he tossed just four interceptions. It was Jones’ emergence which truly helped the Packers secure the division crown and a first round bye with a 13-3 record. He rushed for 1,084 yards to be Green Bay’s first 1,000-yard rusher since Eddie Lacy in 2014. He added 474 receiving yards and scored 19 total touchdowns.
The receiving corps, behind No. 1 option Davante Adams, was once again the Packers’ greatest weakness. Adams caught 83 of 127 targets for 997 yards and five touchdowns in just 12 games, but no other player topped 500 receiving yards.
Defensively, the Packers ranked ninth in the NFL with 19.6 points allowed per game. They were 18th with 352.6 total yards allowed per game and they were one of just 10 teams to allow more than 120 rushing yards per game. They shared the league’s third-best turnover differential at plus-12 with 25 takeaways and just 13 giveaways.
In addition to going 13-3 straight up last season, the Packers went 10-6 against the spread in the regular season. They won by an average margin of 3.9 points per game and covered by 0.2 PPG. They were particularly strong at home, going 6-3 ATS and winning by six PPG including the Divisional Round win over the Seahawks. The Packers were 6-10 against the Over/Under in the regular season, falling an average of 2.7 PPG shy of the projected point total. Both of their playoff games topped the projected line.
Key re-signings: K Mason Crosby (three years, $12.9 million), DB Will Redmond (one year, $750,000), TE Marcedes Lewis (one year, $2.25 million)
Key free agent losses: LB Blake Martinez (to NYG), TE Jimmy Graham (to CHI), OT Bryan Bulaga (to LAC), LB Kyler Fackrell (to NYG), WR Geronimo Allison (to DET)
Key free agent signings: LB Christian Kirksey (two years, $13 million), OT Ricky Wagner (two years, $11 million), WR Devin Funchess (one year, $2.5 million)
The loss of Bulaga after nine seasons was offset by the addition of Wagner, while Kirksey helps to replace the loss of Martinez. Funchess was a low-risk signing on a one-year deal, and he stands to be the team’s No. 2 receiver opposite Adams if he can return to full health. While Graham isn’t a huge loss to the NFC North-rival Chicago Bears, tight end is a glaring weakness heading toward the 2020 NFL Draft.
The point-spread was developed to provide a balance for both teams involved in a contest to attract bettors to potentially back the weaker team and receive points. The two squads in a game are listed with a title, either a favorite or an underdog. The favorite is usually the perceived better team in the game, as backing them means giving up several points.
The favorite is always listed with a minus (-) sign before the point-spread while the underdog is labeled with a plus (+) label.
On the VegasInsider.com odds page, there is another number associated with the favorite and its listed as -10. This number is simply defined as “vig” or what many in the sports betting industry call vigorish. Another common term is called “juice” and it’s technically the price the bettor has to pay on a straight wager.
It's not uncommon to see other values posted other than -10. Examples seen on the NBA Vegas Odds pages could include -08, -12, -15 and -20. The -10 price is the most common value in the industry while many books offer reduced 'juice odds' and that would fall into the -08 category.
The lower-juice sportsbooks are normally found outside of the state of Nevada. If you are in a state where sports betting is legal, please check out our online sportsbook directory to find the best and most secure places to make NBA bets.
Another number that’s posted on the NBA Las Vegas is the total or ‘over/under’ for the specific matchup. If the favorite is designated as the home team, then the total will be listed above and vice versa if the visitors are favorites.
All of the above numbers are listed next to the teams, and before each matchup is a Rotation number. The NBA Las Vegas Odds are listed in order of rotation and those numbers are generated and produced by the sportsbooks. Above each matchup and rotation is the Time of the game, which is subject to change. All game times are Eastern Standard Time.
One of the best features on the NBA Vegas Odds is the Open Line. This numbers consists of the first betting line received from one of our Las Vegas or Global Sportsbooks. The opening line varies depending on the sportsbook but it provides a clear-cut rating that the oddsmakers use. If you’re betting on the NBA or any other sport, it’s a great idea to view the open line first.
The VegasInsider.com Consensus NBA Line is just as important as the Open Line and also a key resource on odds platform. The Consensus column could be called a “Median Line” since it shows the most consistent number provided by the sportsbooks on VegasInsider.com. The consensus line will be the same as the open line but once the wagers start coming in, this number is often different than the openers.
