NFL Futures: Take Green Bay to Win the NFC

After falling 51-45 in overtime at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals in last year’s NFL betting playoff Wildcard game, the Green Bay Packers are looking for redemption in the 2010-11 NFL betting season.

Packers Strengths

Passing Game

The Green Bay Packers have one of the most potent passing attacks in the league led by quarterback Aaron Rogers. Rogers was extremely efficient last year, throwing 30 touchdown passes while conceding just 7 interceptions.

The Packers also return their entire receiving corps. which has developed into one of the most balanced aerial assaults in the NFL.

1,000-yard receivers Donald Driver and Greg Jennings headline a speedy wide receiver unit that sports exceptional route runners and great hands.

Running Game

With 1,000-yard rusher Ryan Grant returning from a productive season last year the Packers have a solid threat in the backfield to keep opposing defenses on their heals.

Not to mention, Aaron Rogers had 5 rushing touchdowns last year and has presented himself as a legitimate rushing threat to keep defenses honest in the red zone.

Defense/ Special Teams


It’s hard to mention the Packers defense as a strength considering they gave up over 30+ points five times last year.

The Packers run-stopping unit, however, is anchored by nose tackle Ryan Pickett and is second to none in the NFL.

In addition, the return of playmaker Charles Woodson at safety will allow the Green Bay defense numerous opportunities to create turnovers. Woodson tied for the league lead in interceptions last NFL betting season with nine.

Packers Weaknesses

Offensive line

The real glaring weakness for the Pack is their offensive line. Aaron Rogers was sacked 50 times last year, tied for most in the NFL.

Although Rogers does tend to hang on to the ball too long in the pocket (case in point, his fumble that was returned for a touchdown in overtime against the Cardinals), Green Bay’s offensive line will need to stay healthy in order to fuel the potent Green Bay attack.
