Green Bay Packers

By Marie Torto

Odds: 10/1 (opened at 13/2)
Remaining Opponents: Minnesota Vikings (twice), Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, Tennessee Titans.
Strengths: Pass Rush. With 27 sacks and a strong defensive line, the Packers make up for a middle-of-the-road offense (ranked 14th) by consistently sacking the opponent's QB (30 in 11 games).
Weaknesses: Rush Offense. Ranked 23d in rushing, the Packers are averaging only 3.8 yards per carry and just 100.7 per game on the ground. With receiver Greg Jennings in and out due to a left sprained knee, the Packers are having a hard time making up for his absence. They also have a problem keeping their opponent away from their QB and have allowed 37 sacks on Aaron Rodgers.
