Its gonna take an act of God to beat the Green Bay Packers in 2018

You guys know I've been high on this team all off-season. I've been predicting that Aaron Rodgers will be the NFL MVP in 2018 for a while now. I've also been saying the Packers will have the best record in the NFL in 2018. I have them going 14-2. With that said, after watching their first preseason game, they're even better than I thought they would be.

First of all, the Packers got an absolute steal in the 5th round with WR Marquez Valdez-Scantling. I didn't watch any tape on him before the draft this year so he was not among my top WR prospects but after seeing him now, I wish I had cause he's an absolute beast. Definitely would have been among my top 3-4 WR prospects in the 2018 draft (alongside Antonio Callaway, Anthony Miller, and Equanimeous St. Brown). Marquez Valdez-Scantling has it all. Size, speed, length, athleticism, and ball skills. He reminds me a lot of Javon Walker (former Pro Bowl WR for the Packers in the mid-2000s). Another Packers rookie who impressed me was CB Josh Jackson. I wasn't that high on him going into the draft. Had him rated as just a 3rd round prospect. However, after his first preseason game I have to admit I was wrong. He looks like he's gonna be a really good player. I should have had him rated as a late 1st to early 2nd round player. He should pair with Jaire Alexander (who is an absolute stud) to provide the Packers with a great secondary for years to come. And finally, LB Oren Burks also stood out as a rookie I was not high on before the draft but looks absolutely great now. He's perfect for the new NFL as a coverage linebacker. He's very fast, athletic, and smart. Should make a huge impact as a rookie for the Packers given that linebacker is one of the few position groups they are weak at.

Next, lets talk about the Packers offense. Aaron Rodgers has never had this much talent alongside him on offense. The Packers have a backfield that is 3-deep with quality RBs (Jamaal Williams, Aaron Jones, and Ty Montgomery). I expect Jamaal Williams to be the lead RB this year. He's poised for a breakout season. The WR corp is 5-deep with play-makers (Davante Adams, Marquez Valdez-Scantling, Equanimeous St. Brown, J'Mon Moore, and Randall Cobb). Adams has already proven himself to be a Pro Bowl caliber player. Look for the 3 rookies to all have their moments in 2018. I love all 3 but Valdez-Scantling looks like he could be the first to make a major impact. And finally, Rodgers also has an elite duo TEs (Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis) this year. Jimmy Graham should be redzone target and Marcedes Lewis should provide great blocking for the running game. THIS OFFENSE LOOKS UNSTOPPABLE.

And finally, let's talk about the defense. They should be much improved in 2018. The secondary looks lights out now with the additions of Jaire Alexander, Josh Jackson, and Tramon Williams. I expect 2nd year DBs Kevin King and Josh Jones to take big leaps forward this year. What used to be a position of weakness should become a position of strength for the Packers. The defensive line is also much improved this off-season with the addition of Muhammad Wilkerson. He should combine with Mike Daniels and Kenny Clark to form the best 3-man defensive line front in the NFL. All 3 of these guys are absolute beasts. Now if there is one position group on defense that is still a concern, its the linebackers. The Packers will need rookie Oren Burks to be a really good player from the jump. They're also going to need Clay Matthews and Nick Perry to return to their form when the Packers were the best team in the NFL in 2011.

All in all, this looks like the deepest and most talented team in the NFL. They should coast through the regular season dismantling almost every opponent. Aaron Rodgers could break all sorts of records. THIS WILL BE THE BEST TEAM IN THE NFL IN 2018.
It wasn't an act of God it was an act of football. Unfortunately for the Packers the team is built around Aaron Rodgers almost exclusively.

Kiss of death

How long since the bears beat the packers lol

You were saying? Ya'll should know better than to talk smack for the game ends. Aaron Rodgers came back and the Packers won just as I predicted all off-season.

God tried his best but Aaron Rodgers said nah. As long as he's under center, the Packers are the team to beat in 2018. PERIOD.

Dang the D4H curse strikes again...

Another one that spoke too soon. Wait until the clock hits zero fellas.

With that said, as long as Aaron Rodger is playing, ain't nobody in the same class as the Packers this year. They will have the best record in the NFL as I predicted. Aaron Rodgers will also win MVP (as I predicted).

Spoke too soon?

He (Rodgers) was exiting the game and didn't look good when I posted it. Never said anything about the Packers losing or Bears winning. It wouldn't have been the first time you made a wild prediction and then immediately someone gets hurt or a team implodes.

Arod will be great like always but I see maybe one playoff win if they get there

Minnesota will be tough and actually has a stud defense that makes Chicago’s look like dog ****

I'm actually even more confident after this result. This is the type of game that can give a team confidence that they can't be beat regardless of how dire it looks early on.

He cross D4H cursed himself with this:

Guess that act of God happened.

Sorry Packers fans. You had a chance at a memorable season.

Steelers over Rams in the Super Bowl (obviously this is contingent on Dobbs being the Steelers starting QB). If the Steelers foolishy release Dobbs or Big Ben shockingly stays healthy, then I would change my prediction to BENGALS vs PACKERS in the Super Bowl with the Packers winning.

In the first scenario, I have the Packers losing in the NFC Championship Game eventhough they had the best record in the league during the regular season.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Dude the Steelers couldnt beat the freaking Browns. The Bengals? How many games has Marvin Lewis won? That guy is the new Jeff Fisher. He is ine of the worst coaches in the NFL. The Packers got licky to beat the Bears. The Pats took care of the Texans but they are going as the what, 4th seed? The Bengals beat a sorry Indy team. Dude your predictions are utterly laughable.

I see you totally ignored my Bucs and Saints predictions. Nobody else had the Bucs winning the NFC South before the season and the Saints missing the playoffs. One week in and I'm looking like a genius.

With that said, the Browns are actually very talented. They have a playoff caliber roster. Their coaching staff is just awful which is why they'll only win 6-7 games this year. I actually anticipated the Steelers would have a slow start. Don't be surprised if they lose next week to the Chiefs at home. As long as Big Ben is starting, they will struggle. Once Dobbs takes over (and it could be soon), the Steelers will take off and win the division.
