This is a Border War and Green Bay doesn't lose many of these.....No Bradford, so which Case Keenum shows up? If it's the one that routed the Buccaneers than Vikes in good shape....if it's the one who skipped several beats and lost 14-7 to the Lions at home than Minnesota is up against it.
My main reason for taking a shot on the Pack is not just Rodgers who continues to excel at a high level but also with the emergence of RB Aaron Jones out of UTEP...that's right UTEP......Aaron and his TWIN brother Alvin went to hometown school and pumped life into a dismal program.....Alvin had to redshirt one year and is finishing up his senior year under new old HC Mike Price who just took over program again....Alvin missed two games last season and still led the Miners in tackles with 93 in 10 games....he has 14 more than any Miner defender this season after 6 games as well......Aaron ran for 1,773 yards and 17 TD's last season and also had 233 yds receiving and 3 more TD's......he is the next BIG thing despite being under 5'9......a guy like Jones takes pressure off Jordy, Randall & Davante Adams & Martellus Bennett and gives Rodgers that safety valve he needs
Pack is fave to win Super Bowl in my book and the only future Win total I gave was Philly OVER 7 which will be the team Pack will beat in NFC Title game is everyone stays healthy....they win this one in second half in Minnesota too!
