These non-conference opponents actually have some familiarity with each other. They had joint practices and scrimmages this week. It was the Bengals defense that dominated the action. 

Yet the Packers are solid road favorites here because Jordan Love may get a series or two while Joe Burrow and the Bengals starters won't play. 

So what.

That doesn't justify this line. It's the Bengals who have the stronger backup quarterback situation. NFL veteran Trevor Siemian and Jake Browning will be under center for Cincinnati. Green Bay's backup QB's are fifth-round rookie Sean Clifford and Alex McGough of the USFL, who was waived five times by NFL teams. Siemian may get extensive playing time with the chance Burrow isn't ready to start the season. 

It's not like Matt LaFleur places any special emphasis on winning preseason games. Green Bay is 1-5 the past two years in preseason.
