Green Bay Packers. 11. team. 49. . . Previous: 14th

Like the next team on this list, they are hanging this high by reputation and outcome alone.

Within the confines of the game we saw to open the season, the Packers looked bad on offense. Aaron Rodgers looked uncomfortable, the offensive line looked off balance and it looked like they were feeding the wrong people.

Tennessee Titans fans will recognize those symptoms as indicators of a Matt LaFleur offense.

On the flip side, the defense looked really good and the new additions of the Smiths on the EDGEs really looked like it helped.

I don’t know how many other teams the Packers will be able to beat like that and a compressed planning schedule is only going to make it harder for the first year coach, but for now I am trusting Aaron Rodgers.
