GREEN BAY, Wis. (Interstat) — A late-season clash with playoff implications is set for Lambeau Field on Saturday as the Green Bay Packers host the Baltimore Ravens in a cross-conference NFL matchup. The Packers (9-5) look to solidify their postseason positioning, while the Ravens (7-8) aim to keep their faint hopes alive in a game projected to be a tight, defensive struggle. National Statistical’s simulator forecasts a 28-22 Packers victory, but oddsmakers list Baltimore as a 3.5-point favorite with a low over/under of 38.5 points. Green Bay enters after a tough 22-16 overtime loss at Chicago, a game where quarterback Malik Willis provided a spark. Willis, a player to watch, passed for 121 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 44 yards in relief. The Packers’ season has been marked by inconsistency, but they have won three of their last five. Baltimore arrives reeling from a 28-24 home loss to New England, their third defeat in four games. Despite the recent skid, dynamic quarterback Lamar Jackson remains the focal point. In the loss to the Patriots, Jackson rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns, supplementing a passing attack that managed only 101 total yards. His elite mobility will challenge a Green Bay defense that has allowed an average of just over 21 points per game this season. The Ravens’ offense has been volatile, posting 24 points or more in four of their last six games but also being shut out in one. Running back Derrick Henry, coming off a 128-yard, two-touchdown performance, provides a powerful counterbalance to Jackson. Historically, these teams have met infrequently. They last played a preseason contest on Dec. 26, 2025, a scoreless affair. The regular-season history adds an element of the unknown to this late-December battle. With frigid conditions likely in Green Bay, the game may hinge on quarterback play and ball security. Jackson’s explosiveness against Willis’s emerging dual-threat capability sets the stage for a compelling showdown. A Ravens win keeps their season relevant, while a Packers victory moves them closer to a playoff berth. Both teams conclude their regular seasons on Jan. 3, 2026, with the Ravens visiting Pittsburgh and the Packers traveling to Minnesota.
