The Packers actually moved up a spot<\/a> in Josh Kendall\u2019s rankings.<\/p>\n This week\u2019s theme is rookie spotlight, and Kendall wrote about Green Bay\u2019s top three picks. Of first-round pick Matthew Golden, he wrote, \u201cThe first-round wide receiver had career highs in catches (five) and yards (58) Sunday night against the Cowboys, but he\u2019s still looking for his first NFL touchdown.\u201d<\/p>\n The Packers stayed at No. 6 in Eric Edholm\u2019s rankings<\/a>, even though their 2-1-1 record is a \u201ccolossal disappointment\u201d considering who they beat and who they didn\u2019t beat.<\/p>\n While the offense got rolling, \u201cit came on a night when the defense looked relatively helpless after a certain point. The lack of pressure \u2026 was a problem; even when the Pack got home late, it didn’t seem to matter.\u201d<\/p>\n The Packers fell two spots in Frank Schwab\u2019s rankings<\/a>. His analysis nailed it.<\/p>\n \u201cThrough two games and 56 minutes of the third game, the Packers looked like one of the best teams in football. Then they collapsed against the Browns and barely got a tie against the Cowboys. It\u2019s hard to know what to make of the Packers now, but a lot of the shine is definitely off.\u201d<\/p>\n The Packers remain No. 8 in Ralph Vacchiano\u2019s rankings<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Packers offense looked great in their high-scoring tie in Dallas, but what a spectacular defensive meltdown against a team missing its best receiver. Green Bay is still loaded, but this tie coming off a loss to Cleveland shows it has some issues.\u201d<\/p>\n The Packers fell three spots in ESPN\u2019s rankings<\/a>, which are selected by team beat writers.<\/p>\n This week\u2019s theme is biggest issue on offense. Rob Demovsky picked penalties. After listing the individual issues, Demovsky wrote, \u201cThe Packers lead the league with 10 false start penalties, and only three teams have more offensive holding calls than the Packers’ nine this season.<\/p>\n Wrote Mike Florio<\/a>, \u201cFrom talk of going undefeated to two weeks without a win.\u201d<\/p>\n The Packers remained No. 11 in Conor Orr\u2019s rankings<\/a>. He took a contrarian view of how overtime should be handled, saying he would take the ball first, even though the value of going second means the offense knows exactly what it needs to do on its possession.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s easy to say that after the team embarrassingly ran out of time and had to kick for a tie against the Cowboys, but I personally don\u2019t see the value in getting to adjust to what your opponent has done. Utilize the fullness of the clock and get the third possession as well.\u201d<\/p>\n Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning (6) is sacked on Monday night at the Denver Broncos. \/ Sam Greene\/The Enquirer \/ USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images<\/p>\n The Packers must take advantage of the next quarter of the season. Their next four games are at home against the Cincinnati Bengals, at the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers, and at home against the Carolina Panthers. None of those teams are in the top 10 of the Consensus NFL Power Rankings.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh is the only team with a winning record, with its three wins coming against teams with a combined four wins, and Arizona is the only team with a positive point differential.<\/p>\n Sportsbook odds are not part of these rankings. However, from the betting perspective, the Packers are still viewed as a championship team.<\/p>\n At FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a>, they have the third-shortest Super Bowl odds, with the Bills the favorites at +440, followed by the Eagles at +600, the Packers at +900, the Lions and Chiefs at +950 and the Ravens at +1000. Green Bay still has a slight edge over Detroit to win the NFC North<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
