San Fran -
I still am not sold on Kap and the passing game. The defense is stout but they could easily take a step back. The entire NFC is improving in my opinion and a road game against Denver, the rest of their AFC schedule should be manageable but these games could provide them some fits.

Everyone knows I can't stand this team in the first place. Can't understand all the lofty expectations for this club. Yes they have Aaron Rodgers who is the best QB in the NFC and possibly the game. They did lose a little bit in passing game with the loss of Finley and James Jones but Boykins and Rodgers should be OK. The early loss of JC Tratter and an unproven offensive line could pose problems in the backfield. Eddie Lacy is impressive and can catch the ball out of the backfield which could ease the pass rush, but they still have that pain in the ass, the defense..
The Defense has been poor for 3 seasons and for the most part much of it is back, they put a band aid on it with Peppers, and drafted a safety in Dix, Packer fans are already placing Dix in the pro bowl, lets be reminded he came from a Alabama Unit that is very talented plus we haven't seen what he can do in the open field yet. Their run defense isn't very good and the loss of Raji doesn't help below average interior linebackers Hawk and Jones one bit. Plus we don't know if Hawk is on his downside as teams game plan for him and he takes some licks and has a hard time staying on the field.
The NFC North teams are improving and the schedule is daunting. The Packer have only beat one team outside of the division who finished the season with a winning record past two seasons and that was the Houston Texans. They did beat Minny and Chico twice two seasons ago but they have 10 losses, granted Rodgers was out half the season but they lost to those teams with him.

The Schedule isn't so easy.
Kansas City -
Not a fan of Alex Smith or the defense but last year they played a weak schedule, their schedule is much tougher this year and I expect Smith to struggle.
St Louis -
Not going out on a limb here with Bradford out but I would have said the same with him. Who do they have on offense? Austin? No real weapons. They are going to be bad. Although you never know with Fisher as the coach.
Minnesota -
Depends on how you view the team, nobody outside Minny expects much but those who are fans expect big improvements this season they are much improved but the schedule is a kick in the ass. As I have said Detroit and Chico should be improved and Vikes split with them last year. They got a gift tie with the Pack cause Rodgers was out but they lose an inept coaching staff and replace it with good experienced coaches and come back with the offense intact

They are going to need some upsets along the way to have a good seaso
