UnPack Podcast: Recaping our season-long wagers on the Packers

The UnPack Podcast has stated throughout the season that six victories would be the standard and everything else would be bonus. We’re adding gravy on top of gravy after eliminating Chicago and maybe consigning one more Bears quarterback to the “what’s his trade value?” junk pile. That’s correct, your Green Bay Packers will make it to the playoffs following a three-month makeover. Let’s take a look back at the previous regular season before we move on to the next McCarthy Bowl. We offered many season-long prop bets on Packers players prior to the first week of play. The regular season is now finished. How did we do, then?

Although there were many different predictions made before to the season, the general consensus was that the Packers would probably finish below.500. Fast forward to today and the Packers finished second in the division at 9-8, a testimony to Matt LaFleur, Jordan Love, and GM Brian Gutekunst.

Christian Watson’s overall touchdown total over 4.5

Zach: Over: Over Nick: Over Alex

I’ll admit that we both gasped when we saw Christian Watson’s stats at the end of the season. Watson had a bothersome hamstring ailment that kept him out of the game for a significant portion of the season. Of his 28 catches, five were for touchdowns. Yes, you read correctly. In 2023, technically, Watson’s catches accounted for approximately 18% of touchdowns. Score.
