Green Bay Packers Betting
The 2008 Green Bay Packers have started the Brett Favre free era in all the wrong ways for Aaron Rodgers. Sportsbook's expect the Green Bay Packers to take a step back this year and win 8 regular season games. Preseason betting has been heavy on the Packers winning over 8 games. Aaron Rodgers will have the support of a strong running game an a solid defense lead by a strong defensive pass rush.

2007 Record: 13-3 (1st, NFC North)
Offensive Team Rank: 21st Rushing, 2nd Passing, 4th Scoring
Defensive Team Rank: 14th Rushing, 21st Passing, T6th Scoring
Aaron Rodgers will be behind a solid offensive line that is excellent in pass protection in allowing only 19 sacks last year. The run game production improved in the second half with the arrival of Ryan Grant in week 9 (929 yards). The Packers were the 4th highest scoring league last year behind Brett Favre's passing attack. Look for the offense to score less points as Mike McCarthy looks to limit the amount of mistakes by Aaron Rodgers in the early part of the season.
The Green Bay Packers defense was tied for 6th in points allowed last year lead by their defensive front line. DE Aaron Kampman and Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila will lead the pass rush with single coverage from excellent CBs Charles Woodson and Al Harris. The Packers will miss run stuffer DT Corey Williams and Ryan Pickett has missed all of preseason camp because of a hamstring injury. The linebacker corps is strong with 5th veteran Nick Barnett and former first round pick A.J. Hawk.
NFL Betting Edge
The Green Bay Packers run defense up the middle has some questions to answer early in the season. Look for Mike McCarthy to have a more conservative version of his west coast offense early in the season to take pressure of Aaron Rodgers. Fade the Packers early on the spread and take the under.
