The Green Bay Packers WILL Win The NFC North This Year - Here's Why

There are only a handful of NFL teams who can count themselves as true Super Bowl contenders heading into next season and the Green Bay Packers are certainly one of them after falling to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game last year. However, they need to win the division to ensure they get back into the playoffs, but they're certainly the class of the NFC North. Here's why they're guaranteed to win the division:

1) Aaron Rodgers, the best QB in the game

He's the best quarterback in the NFL, bar none. You can take your Tom "The Deflatemeister" Brady or Peyton Manning in the twilight of his career. We'll take a QB who makes NFL Sundays look like Arena Football League exhibitions.

2) Eddie Lacy's continued progression

Two 1,000-yard rushing seasons to start his career is fantastic enough, but Lacy's primed to be a #1 fantasy stud in 2015. Call it intuition, but his growth as a safety-valve receiver and his 1/2 yard increase per carry last season (from 4.1 to 4.6) portends great things to come.

3) Offensive line dominance

How do you ensure your offense zips along at record efficiency? You couldn't do much better than employing the men who make up the most impenetrable offensive line in all of the NFL. The aforementioned Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy can push greatness to new heights in 2015, and a lot of that has to do with the men in front of them.

4) Who's going to stop them?

Perhaps the biggest reason why the Packers are guaranteed to win the division is the lack of teams that can compete with them in the NFC North. The Detroit Lions can always be counted on to choke, and the Chicago Bears still have Jay Cutler has their quarterback. Many people have pegged the Vikings as the surprise team of the season in the NFL, but they're still too young to win 12 games, which they'll need to at least tie the Packers.
