Year-End Predicted Record: 12-4
At the end of the season, I expect Green Bay to have managed a strong record that will put them in the conversation for the top record in the NFC.
Do not let the one game played so far scare you into expecting otherwise so soon; this is a very talented team that has proven to be resilient to any and all injuries (even one to Rodgers) in forcing their way to the playoffs in all of the past five seasons.
It would take a massive collective collapse from the defense and another major Rodgers injury to put that into doubt (so exactly what happened last year, but without the luck of having the entire division end up collapsing down the stretch).
Even if they don’t exactly reach 12-4, we can expect to see this team have a great shot at obtaining another Super Bowl title with a good playoff seeding and the right matchups.
For now, let’s just take it one week at a time and enjoy what should be another season full of amazing performances by Rodgers and his team.
