Green Bay is once again the favorite to win the NFC North and they deserve to because they have owned it for a while but this is the year the team struggles. They are due and the talent level is much better on the other 3 teams except for that 1 position and Mr. Rodgers takes care of that. You can't have terrible draft classes for past 3 years and not be affected. Plus the only significant free agent over that time has been an aging Julius Peppers. The Packers will score but watch out for a big mistake and another injury to Rodgers, packers O line is not very good. They do have 2 stud wides but Nelson has been hobbled with injury the past two seasons and his hamstring is already bothering him. Tight end position is also iffy but quarless and the room should be ok but they won't demand the attention Finley caused. Defensively the team is challenged, their middle and linebackers are not very good. Raji has regressed and Matthews is another player who can't stay on the field. The secondary is so / so and Clinton Dix will have a ton of pressure. This defense has to constantly blitz to hide it's weakness. Here's the kicker, the schedule. At Seattle home to jets then back to back road games against Chico and Detroit who I think are much improved to open season. That's pretty tough way to start. They have a great QB but I don't think he can overcome a bad defense, 3 bad drafts, and the fact the other 3 teams have improved the most since last year.
