Commanders vs. Packers Predictions For Thursday Night Football, NFL Week 2

Heading into the 2025-26 NFL season, the Commanders and Packers had the third and fifth-shortest odds, respectively, to win the entire NFC. However, they’re also both in very competitive divisions, and speaking of which, they’re both coming off divisional rivalries in Week 1.

Both were able to come away with victories as well, but the games were quite different. Frankly, the Commanders' win over the New York Giants was one of the more uneventful games of the weekend outside of G-Men faithful already calling for rookie QB Jaxson Dart.

As for the Pack, their win over the Lions was always going to be more exciting if for no other reason than watching how Micah Parsons looked. The trade addition from the Dallas Cowboys played 29 snaps for his new team, recording a sack and three pressures while also freeing up others on the Green Bay defense.

Speaking of which, that defense played a primary role in our NFL best bets for Thursday Night Football, and we still have another pick from our Commanders vs. Packers predictions for you. 
 

 

 

Commanders vs. Packers Best Bet: Terry McLaurin Over 4.5 Receptions (-105 at Novig)

If you checked out that best bet, how we’re adding to our Commanders vs. Packers picks may surprise you. Not to spoil anything elsewhere, but while we may not see Washington lighting up the scoreboard, that doesn’t mean two things can’t both be true at the same time.

That other thing would be Terry McLaurin bouncing back for both himself and fantasy managers. The standout WR went from trade request and holdout to a three-year contract extension to ultimately just two receptions for just 27 yards. Along with just four targets, that’s simply unacceptable for a bona fide #1 WR.

Sure, the Commanders got the win over the Giants, but it wasn't exactly inspiring. After seeing the Packers defense shut down the Lions’ league-leading offense from last year, they’re going to see McLaurin’s four targets and know that he needs more.

On top of that, Green Bay allowed just 46 total rushing yards to Detroit (2.1 yards per carry), so they’ll likely choose to focus on moving the ball through the air instead. Along with him getting into more football shape since missing training camp, we’ve got Terry McLaurin over 4.5 receptions (-105 at Novig) as the best bet from our Commanders vs. Packers predictions.
