The Vikings made the playoffs last season, but settled for a wild card spot after the Packers claimed the division.
In Bleacher Report’s nine bold predictions for the NFL season, the outlet didn’t think Green Bay would win the division again, or even make the playoffs.
Here’s what Bleacher Report said about the Packers:
“The NFC is as deep in 2020 as it has been in recent memory. It isn’t outside the realm of possibility that a 10-6 team could miss the postseason even with a seventh playoff team added.
It’s fixing to be an uncomfortable season for the Packers. And if they do miss the playoffs, the decisions that general manager Brian Gutekunst made over the past few months will be cast in an even harsher light.”
The Packers finished 13-3 in the 2019 regular season. Their front seven is still very good. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers still has tackle David Bakhtiari, wide receiver Davante Adams and running back Aaron Jones as offensive support. It’s still a talented team, but I think the NFC North will be competitive in 2020.
