1. Green Bay Packers

I must be the biggest fool on the planet, because only a fool would have the Green Bay Packers on any list talking about a team that could possibly lose. Even with some close calls this season, the Packers and Aaron Rodgers have been just lights out when it matters and it’s no fluke that they’re one of the remaining undefeated teams after four weeks of action.

However, it’s the St. Louis Rams that come into Lambeau Field this week, a team that just ended an undefeated start last week. Moreover, they’re a team that is finally looking like they’re at full strength with Todd Gurley getting healthy and that could make them shockingly dangerous in this league.

Gurley gives the Rams so much more balance and explosiveness on offense. Nick Foles isn’t afraid to chuck it downfield, but with Gurley running the football those Foles shots downfield have a much higher success rate. Couple that type of offensive balance and big-play ability with the Rams’ elite defense and this is a team that could be on the verge of making a serious run.

Like I said, it’s a fool’s errand to pick against the Packers. But the Rams have the look of a team set to make a big run at this point in the season and seem like a team that could catch Green Bay off guard. In the words of Lloyd Christmas, I’m saying there’s a chance.
