The buzz around Green Bay is already hitting hard, with sportsbooks setting the over/under for 2026 wins at 9.5. This isn’t just some random number, either. It’s right in line with their totals from two of the last three years. But don’t let that fool you. If you think Packers fans are just going to shrug and accept that, you’ve got another thing coming. They’re expecting way more.
The 9.5 Isn’t Enough
FanDuel, for example, has that 9.5 total out there, a popular NFL bet before Week One kicks off. And yeah, it reflects some history. With Jordan Love, Green Bay has posted 9, 11, and 9 wins over the last three seasons. That consistency earned them the NFC’s number 7 seed in the playoffs each of those years. But the vibe heading into 2026 is different. The team’s goals are higher, and the fans? They expect better from their squad. They’re not settling.
Fans Are All-In on Double Digits
This isn’t just a hunch either. Acme Packing Company asked their readers for their win total predictions, and the results are wild. Nearly 80 percent of respondents are calling for double-digit wins. Let that sink in! More than half, 51 percent to be exact, expect the team to hit the 10 or 11-win mark. And a solid 26 percent are dreaming even bigger, predicting 12-plus wins. Pessimists are few and far between: only 19 percent expect an 8 or 9-win season, with just four percent forecasting double-digit losses at 7 or fewer wins. This level of fan confidence is no joke; about three-quarters of those surveyed said they’re totally confident in the team’s direction.
So, with that kind of belief from the faithful, how confident are you in a 10-win season? Enough to put your money where your mouth is?
