This game will be played at FedEx Field at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, October 23, 2022.
Why Bet The Commanders:
✅ At this point in time, there are very few teams the Green Bay Packers should be this heavily favored against. Green Bay is 1-3 against the spread as a favorite this season, failing to cover in that role for three straight games. Their lone cover as a favorite this season came against a Bears team they have dominated in recent seasons. Expect the Commanders to make it four straight ATS losses as a favorite for Green Bay.

✅ Aaron Rodgers has not been much better statistically than Carson Wentz this season. Rodgers has fewer touchdown passes than Wentz, and fewer passing yards per game as well. Rodgers has the higher ceiling, but has not been good enough at all to justify laying nearly a touchdown with on the road right now.
✅ The Packers are averaging 17.8 points per game so far this season, which is less than a point per game more than the Commanders. On the road, that number gets even worse, as they have averaged just 10.5 points per game in their two road games on the season. Expect further struggles on offense from the Packers away from home.
Green Bay Packers
In Week 6, the Green Bay Packers lost outright as a touchdown favorite against the New York Jets. The Packers made a number of mistakes on offense and special teams, allowing the Jets to run away with things in the second half. In Week 7, the Packers will need to tighten things up to avoid a fourth straight game where they struggle as a favorite.
While it is a hard truth, the fact of the matter is that Aaron Rodgers has not been good enough at all this season. Rodgers is leading a Green Bay offense that ranks 18th in passing yards per game despite the reputation of their quarterback. In this Packers vs Commanders contest, Rodgers needs to find a spark through the air to help the Packers put forth their first solid offensive performance on the road this year.
Washington Commanders
The Washington Commanders won an ugly game last week against the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football. It required a goal line stop in the dying seconds of the game, but they got the job done to snap a four-game losing streak. This week, the Commanders will aim for a second straight win to move to 3-4 and re-enter the postseason conversation in the NFC.
In this game, putting pressure on Aaron Rodgers is the key for the Commanders. Rodgers has struggled for the duration of this season so far, and giving him less time to throw will only exacerbate his struggles. If Washington can accomplish that, they could deal the Packers another huge blow in the first half of this season.
