The Green Bay Packers pass defense has had the most success in covering opposing wide receivers, holding them to a 57.2% completion rate (#1-stingiest in football).

The Packers are undefeated at home after winning 4 consecutive home games, and this game will be played in the friendly confines of Lambeau Field. This stadium has a capacity of 81441 fans and is the #3 largest stadium in the NFL. The large crowd can make it extremely loud for opposing teams, which makes Green Bay one of the more difficult road environments in the NFL. This is likely one of the reasons why the Packers have done well at home this year. The Rams are coming off a bye and will have had 13 days rest, which is longer then normal. The extra time should help the Rams get healthier and prepare for the game. This may slightly downgrade the Packers home field advantage this week. The visiting Rams will have to travel over ~1764 miles and across 2 time zones to get to Green Bay. Historically, long road trips have an adverse effect on the visiting team, so it's possible the Rams and may have to battle jet lag or a disruption to their normal weekly routine. The long travel should help Green Bay's home field advantage. The last time these two teams played each other was Week 19 in 2020. That game resulted in a home win for the Packers with a final score of 32-18.
