Another NFL season is here, and the Green Bay Packers are moving one year closer to Aaron Rodgers’ retirement. The way I see it, they are wasting another precious season for number 12 to lead them to the promised land. Let’s go to the picks!!
Week 1 vs Seattle–The Packers have won the last two in this series–both at Lambeau. But the Legion of Boom defense is back at full strength this time–and Russell Wilson will be special again in Wisconsin. Seahawks win a shootout 41-37.
Week 2 at Atlanta–Super Bowl losers tend to drop off the next season–and those are the ones that don’t blow huge second half leads. Packers roll 31-14.
Week 3 vs Cincinnati–The Bengals are on the decline. Green Bay wins another shootout 37-31.
Week 4 vs Chicago–The Bears will be even more embarrassing than usual this year. The Pack easily 30-3.
Week 5 at Dallas–It would be nice to know if Ezekiel Elliott will be suspended for this one or not. I’m going to assume he is and Green Bay manages to outscore the Cowboys 42-35.
Week 6 at Minnesota–Everyone agrees Minnesota is the second best team in the NFC North. And they prove it by losing to Green Bay 27-17.
Week 7 vs New Orleans–Drew Brees and Adrian Peterson are ghosts of their former selves. Packers roll 34-20.
Week 9 vs Detroit–After going 6-1 before the bye week, the Packers solidify their lead in the division with a 38-35 win over Detroit as Aaron Rodgers completes a Hail Mary at the gun at Lambeau for a change.
Week 10 at Chicago–By this time, Bears fans may be wishing Jay Cutler was back. Packers win 28-0.
Week 11 vs Baltimore–Finally, the Packers play a good team again. Baltimore’s defense dominates and the Ravens get a 20-6 win.
Week 12 at Pittsburgh–Good thing the Packers are in the NFC North and not the AFC North. The Steelers offense runs wild 42-28.
Week 13 vs Tampa Bay–After back to back losses create all out panic in Titletown, the Green and Gold get healthy against the Bucs–34-20.
Week 14 at Cleveland–The Browns won’t be as bad as they usually are–but not good enough here. Packers 27-17.
Week 15 at Carolina–Cam Newton will continue to prove he was a one-year wonder. Packers win again 35-10.
Week 16 vs Minnesota–This is where the Packers likely clinch the division and the second seed in the NFC with a 37-20 win.
Week 17 at Detroit. With nothing to play for, the Pack rests everyone and loses 20-12.
After a bye in the first round, the Packers host the Cowboys–who have Ezekiel Elliott this time–and he runs wild at Lambeau. The Cowboys get their first ever playoff win in Green Bay 41-28.
As for the Super Bowl. Pittsburgh beats Seattle 38-30. Call it the “One for the middle finger on the other hand”.
