Green Bay Packers, 11-5, First in NFC North

The Green Bay Packers have had an up-and-down NFL season, but they are in second place in the NFC North and are poised to make a run at the top. They have some tough games down the stretch of their season, but they don’t have as tough of a road as the Detroit Lions do. Aaron Rodgers being their quarterback also gives them a bit of an advantage over the other teams in the division.

There are some flaws in Green Bay as well, especially on the defensive side of the football. Health has been an issue with the Packers’ defense, and Eddie Lacy has yet to show up on the offensive side for Green Bay. Despite those issues, Rodgers has done an excellent job of leading the Packers, and they will continue to improve moving forward.

It’s going to be a fun end of the season to watch the NFC North, but the Packers are simply the most talented team in the division. Assuming they’re able to get healthy and stay healthy, they’re going to be a very tough team to beat. Expect them to come out on top this season when everything is said and done.
