4. Green Bay Packers (5)
Since taking over the starting job at quarterback for the Green Bay Packers in 2008, Aaron Rodgers has thrown double-digit interceptions only twice during the regular season. In fact, Rodgers has only thrown 13 interceptions over the last two seasons and with one of his favorite targets in Jordy Nelson (ACL) returning for the 2016 season, the Packers quarterback should be in for another monster season.
Despite all of their struggles displayed throughout the 2015 season, Green Bay was on the verge of reaching the NFC Championship last January before losing in overtime to the Cardinals. Between the return of Nelson along with a slimmer Eddie Lacy, the potential is high for the Packers’ offense to display big numbers, as they should be considered favorites in the NFC North heading into Week 1.
With seven-straight playoff appearances, don’t be surprised if that number moves up to eight for the Packers.
Next: 3. Seattle Seahawks
