<\/em>Let\u2019s take a look at Green Bay\u2019s schedule to see their chances of going OVER 9.5 wins:<\/p>\nWeek 1 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday, September 12, 2010 \u00a0\u00a0 @ Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> The Packers have the good fortune of not having to play back-to-back road games until after their bye in Week 10, and they also have the benefit of facing new Eagles starting QB Kevin Kolb in Week 1.\u00a0 A win here in the regular-season opener would not only get Green Bay off to a great start but also set the table nicely for the next five games against non-playoff teams.<\/p>\nWeek 2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday, September 19, 2010\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 vs. Buffalo Bills<\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> Buffalo was one of the worst offensive teams in the NFL last year and will likely find scoring to be very difficult at Lambeau Field in Green Bay\u2019s home opener.\u00a0 It also does not matter that it\u2019s not December since the Packers are more lethal through the air in warmer weather.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\nWeek 3 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Monday, September 27, 2010\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 @ Chicago Bears<\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> The Bears will either be a pretender or contender in the NFC North, and this game will give us a glimpse of how good or bad they will be.\u00a0 Chicago QB Jay Cutler threw six interceptions in two meetings with Green Bay last year but still kept his team within a touchdown both times.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\nWeek 4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday, October 3, 2010 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 vs. Detroit Lions <\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> The Lions could be facing a 10-game losing streak dating back to last season in this one, which will be their third road game against an NFC North foe in four games to open this year.\u00a0 The only positive for Detroit is the fact that St. Louis visits the following week.<\/p>\nWeek 5 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday, October 10, 2010 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 @ Washington Redskins <\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> The new-look Redskins will be coming off an emotional rivalry game against QB Donovan McNabb\u2019s former team in the Eagles, which could obviously go either way.\u00a0 The only certainty here is that McNabb will either be really high or really low depending on the outcome.<\/p>\nWeek 6 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday, October 17, 2010 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 vs. Miami Dolphins\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> Miami will be fresh off a bye week following back-to-back home games against the two top teams in the AFC East (the New York Jets and New England Patriots).\u00a0 This visit to Lambeau will also kick off a string of three road games in four weeks for the Dolphins.<\/p>\nWeek 7 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday, October 24, 2010 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 vs. Minnesota Vikings\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> Minnesota will be playing a playoff team from last year for the third straight game, which is part of a bigger five-game stretch against winning clubs.\u00a0\u00a0 The words \u201cFavre\u201d and \u201cMinnesota\u201d also mean something to Cheeseheads who will witness their second prime-time game of the season on Sunday Night Football.<\/p>\nWeek 8 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday, October 31, 2010 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 @ New York Jets\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> The Jets interrupt a string of three home games in four weeks for the Packers, who might be down a bit mentally after facing the Vikings and with the Cowboys on deck.\u00a0 Meanwhile, New York will be coming off a bye week and will be on the road the next two weeks.<\/p>\nWeek 9 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday, November 7, 2010 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 vs. Dallas Cowboys <\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> Green Bay shut down Dallas at Lambeau last year in a dominating 17-7 victory and hopes to finish strong on prime-time television before the bye week.\u00a0 The Cowboys will be playing the first of back-to-back road games before facing the New York Giants at the Meadowlands.<\/p>\nWeek 10 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 — BYE WEEK —<\/strong><\/p>\nWeek 11 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday, November 21, 2010 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 @ Minnesota Vikings\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> The NFC North division title could be on the line here in the Metrodome, where the Vikings will be playing in between road games at Chicago and Washington.\u00a0 This also starts the first set of a pair of back-to-back road games in five weeks for the Packers.<\/p>\nWeek 12 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday, November 28, 2010 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 @ Atlanta Falcons \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> This visit to Atlanta completes what could be the toughest back-to-back games on the slate for Green Bay.\u00a0 The Falcons will be at home for the only time during a five-game period that sees them play four road games against teams that went a combined 17-47 last year.<\/p>\nWeek 13 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday, December 5, 2010 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 vs. San Francisco 49ers <\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> The Packers will be playing the 49ers at home around the same time for the second year in a row.\u00a0 Last season, Green Bay edged San Francisco 30-24 after building a 23-3 halftime lead.\u00a0 The 49ers scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to make it close, but it wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\nWeek 14 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday, December 12, 2010 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 @ Detroit Lions\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> The Lions will be playing their third straight game at Ford Field but will be ending a brutal stretch nonetheless.\u00a0 Detroit faces New England and Chicago at home before meeting the Packers and then plays back-to-back road games at Tampa Bay and Miami.<\/p>\nWeek 15 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday, December 19, 2010\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 @ New England Patriots\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\nAnalysis:<\/strong> The Patriots and Packers will be playing their final prime-time TV game of the year barring a late-season schedule change.\u00a0 Since both teams are again expected to compete for playoff berths and division crowns, you will likely hear the words potential Super Bowl preview.<\/p>\nWeek 16 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunday,

the Packers in the 2008 NFC Championship.\u00a0 Whether both teams still have something to play for at this point remains to be seen.<\/p>\nWeek 17

The Green Bay Packers showed a lot of promise last season under the leadership of second-year starting QB Aaron Rodgers on their way to an impressive 11-5 record and playoff berth.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it was their former QB Brett Favre who kept them from winning the NFC North and will lead the defending division champs if he decides to come back yet again this year.\u00a0 Favre\u2019s Minnesota Vikings are expected to be the only major divisional roadblock for the Packers, who are +125 to win the NFC North, 6\/1 to win the NFC and 12\/1 to win Super Bowl XLV.<\/p>\n
