I know it's only been one week of football and that anything can happen on any given Sunday, but I have a good feeling about the 2011 Green Bay Packers season. They began the season with a bang, defeating the New Orleans Saints, 42-34 . How 'bout that Randall Cobb? Nice kickoff return for a touchdown. That play conjured images of Desmond Howard circa 1996. I like what I'm seeing and thus I am going to offer 3 bold predictions for the 2011 Green Bay Packers season: Prediction #1: The Packers will take the NFC North. It won't be easy with this year as the Detroit Lions have the best roster they've had in a long time. The Bears started off the season by blowing out last year's #1 team in the NFC, the Atlanta Falcons. The Vikings narrowly lost to the San Diego Chargers who've been picked to be the team this year. It will be a close race, but the Packers will come out on top.
Prediction #2: The Packers will finish the season with a 13-3 record. The Packers have knocked out the team that I would have picked to be the toughest team to beat this year, the Saints. In all honesty, I think the Packers could go 16-0, but I don't really like those kinds of odds. You never know what can happen, as witnessed last season when we lost to the Lions in Detroit on December 12th, so I could see the Packers suffering from a few unexpected losses. A few.
Prediction #3: The Packers will play in Super Bowl 46. The Packers are back, healthy, and thirsty for another Super Bowl title. Think about all of those injured players with talent that didn't have the chance to play in the Super Bowl. They want that title again. They will go all the way.
Whatever happens, this is going to be an exciting 2011 Green Bay Packers season. If my predictions all come true, remember, you heard it here first!
