Packers not favored in their Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears
The Green Bay Packers are receiving some disrespect and doubt before they even kick off the regular season. The Packers lost some important pieces this offseason, including one of the greatest players to ever play for them in Aaron Rodgers.

Just because Rodgers is gone and Love is in doesn't mean the Packers can't win some games though. In fact, I think they can still win quite a few. Now, do I think they will win the Super Bowl or make a run in the playoffs? No. There is still a ton of things that need to be fixed before we get there. But in a few years, it's possible.
Even though we don't expect that, we do expect Green Bay to win certain games. The Week 1 matchup in Chicago is one of them we think the Packers can win and start off the 2023 season 1-0. But, one betting site doesn't feel the same way.
According to JSonline, the Packers are slight underdogs ahead of their first game in 2023.
Tipico Sports: The Packers are 2 ½ point underdogs. The Packers are +105 on the money line; the Bears are -135.
FanDuel: The Packers are 1 ½ point underdogs. The Packers are +108 on the money line; the Bears are -126.
Now, sure, it's in Chicago, so there will be that advantage. But at the same time, are we sure the Chicago Bears, the worst team in the league last year, got that much better? The odds makers obviously think so. Now the Packers will have extra motivation as if they didn't already have enough on the year.
