5 reasons why Packers are serious Super Bowl contenders

The bye week gives the Green Bay Packers time to reflect on the season so far. What they’ve achieved, and what they still need to do. And while Matt LaFleur has a lot of things to address with his team through the bye, they are also well positioned in the NFC. The Packers are currently second in the conference and first in the NFC North, with a half-game lead over the New Orleans Saints for a first-round bye.

It looked like all four NFC North teams were playoff contenders early in the season, but it’s become a two-team race between the Packers and Minnesota Vikings.
