The Packers are 1/4 of the way into their season and at 4-0, a Packer fan couldn't ask for a better record. So far I still think the Seahawks are their biggest competition for the #1 Seed. Fortunately, the Seahawks are in a highly competitive division and should lose a few games against division opponents.
Next 4 games for the Packers is crucial and 3 are on the road:
- @Bucs
- @Texans
- Vikings
- @49'ers
The Packers look to be pretty healthy coming off their bye week, I think they beat the Bucs and should have their way with the Texans. The Viking game could be a dogfight, if the Vikings continue to improve. I would say that "injuries" are probably THE Packers biggest competitor for the #1 seed, but all teams face that. Speaking of injuries, the 49'ers have not had good luck in regards to the injury bug. Add to the injuries, over their next 7 games they play Los Angeles Rams (twice), New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, Seahawks, Packers and the Bills. 49'ers could be toast at the halfway point of the season. At the beginning of the season, I had circled the 49'er game as a probable Packer loss, but if they were playing this weekend, I have no doubt the Pack would be favored. I guess we will see on Nov. 5th, but if the 49'ers lose at least 2 of their next 3 and don't get healthy, they might be mentally out of it at 2-6 or 3-5 and the W for the Packers might be just that much easier if that is the case. Could the Pack be 8-0 after that game?
Imagine if the Packers can get to 8-0, they will be at home 5 of the last 8 games, against teams that I feel we match up pretty well with. But lets get the Packers to 8-0 and then return to talk about the last half of the season.
