2009 will Don Capers at the defensive helm bringing with him the 3-4 defense that needs to put more pressure on the opposing QB which Green Bay lacked in 2008.

Raji will eat to plug the running gaps as the pack ranked 26th in run defense.

2008 Green Bay Packers Key Stats
2008 Record: 6-10 (3rd, NFC North)
Offensive Team Rank: 17th Rushing, 8th Passing, 5th Scoring
Defensive Team Rank: 26th Rushing, 12th Passing, 22nd Scoring
Top Offensive Players: Aaron Rodgers QB (4038 passing yards 28 TDs 13 INT)
Top Defensive Players: Aaron Kampman OLB (62 TK, 9.5 Sacks)
Offensive Outlook: Aaron Rodgers passed for more than 4000 yards while averaging less than an INT a game under some pressure in the early part of the season as team blitzed him to see what he was made of. Moreover, the Pack had no running game early because of all their injuries. Ryan Grant at RB turned it up in the second half as he had a late arrival due to a contract dispute and being dinged up by injuries. Jennings and Driver will continue to be solid bookend for Rodgers in his 2nd full time season. WR Donald Driver now has 5 straight 1000 yard WR season is a good bet for NFL player props for another one if you online sportsbook has those betting lines. The right side of the O-Line has some question marks and will need to watched early for sucess in the running game for handicappers.
Defensive Outlook: BJ Raji is an early holdout and when he signs will be behind for a rookie. Look for the Pack to struggle again early in the season against the run. The NT is critical in the 3-4 and Cullen Jenkins missed the last half of the season due to injury and Pickett was also dinged up last season. The Line-backing corps has the potential on paper with Matthews, Kampmann, Barnett (recovering from torn ACL), AJ Hawk and Chiller to play a pressure 3-4 but will need the DL to hold the run. CBs Woodson and Al Harris allow the Pack to play man but they are 35 and 33 and were burned in some high scoring games last year.
NFL Betting Tip - Green Bay Packers
Player prop betting on Aaron Rodgers and Donald Driver early on the OVER yards may have some value as the GB defense early in the season could lead to some high scoring games.
