Prediction

Green Bay Packers OVER 11 (-120) Season Wins
The Green Bay Packers are a football organization that wants to win and they prove it year in and out by their offseason moves. We can pretty much expect another dominant regular season by the Packers once again. They kept the right guys and removed the guys that won’t hugely impact their performance. Rodgers has proved to be in the top tier conversation of quarterbacks in the NFL and Lacy had a very solid season last year. They will easily win the NFC North and either finish 1st or 2nd in the NFC Conference. Home field advantage is huge for a team that plays in an outdoor stadium such as Lambeu Field as the conditions get very harsh in January. I really think the only team who poses a threat to the Packers in the postseason is the Seattle Seahawks and the Packers themselves. They must keep Rodgers and the supporting cast healthy to make a run at another Super Bowl win. If they can be 80% healthy or higher, we will see this team in the 2015-16 Super Bowl.
