Call me a sucker, but I'm interested in the Packers in the NFC playoff race. I certainly find this figure-it-out-on-the-fly-and-possibly-squeak-into-the-race-at-the-last-minute outfit more engaging than prior versions.
The Packers under Matt LaFleur are consistently a favorite. They’ve gone into the playoffs as a high seed after 13 wins in three straight seasons.
If they make it this year, they’ll be the farthest thing from that. It has been a rocky season for Green Bay but I can buy that they’re about to round into their best form to close the year.
The offense has an easy case.
