MGM Resorts International Race & Sports currently have the number for season wins at over 11.5 +100 / under 11.5 -120 (Need to risk $120.00 to win $100.00) and the offshore betting world has them sitting at over 11.5 -105 / under 11.5 -125.

The Packers are expected to make the Super Bowl once again behind Aaron Rodgers who has had a QB rating the past three seasons of 101.8, 104.4 and 105.5. With a healthy Jermichael Finley and draft pick WR Randall Cobb adding to the Rodger's offense, this squad should continue to put up points (scored 30+ points seven times) on opposing teams. The defense ranked second in both interceptions and sacks and will get three starting linebackers off the injury list to start the regular season. Despite having fifteen players on the injured reserve list last season, the Pack still ended 10-6. Many people forget that even though they won the Super Bowl, the Packers did not even win their division last season. Green Bay was also popular among bettors as they closed up the year winning 65% of their games against the pointspread.
