I still believe the Saints are our biggest opponent in the NFC, and it will be key to play them at home in the cold, as Brees' arm isn't as good as Rodgers', so we'll have the advantage there.And in the AFC, obviously the Patriots, but not with that kind of defensive performance they've been putting. And the Ravens, though I'd rather face that defense and Flacco than Brady.To beat the Packers, you need an elite QB and an elite D against the pass. Pittsburgh was that mold last year, yet they lost. And I don't see any team in the league with that kind of talent. The Saints had it in 09, but their defense couldn't even contain Rodgers...If they employ the same tactic they used in the 09 playoffs, which is hit the QB at all times, then they have a chance. But with the current rule changes they won't have the opportunity to do to Rodgers what they did to Warner. Not to mention, Rodgers won't get blindsided unless he throws a pick, and he rarely does it...</blockquote>
