9. Green Bay Packers (4 -3)

Will the real Packers please stand up? They put up a good fight until the end last Sunday in Atlanta, falling just short 33-32.

They’ve not looked great by any stretch of the imagination at any point this season. They struggled to beat Jacksonville early. They didn’t look good against Dallas and couldn’t put the Bears away until late.

Just four of the last nine games for the Packers this season are at home. One of them is this weekend against the Colts. This should be a fairly easy win for the Packers if they are able to put four quarters into the game.

It is easier said than done though with this years Packers. They have very little running game to speak of without Eddie Lacy or James Starks. Now they need to depend on guys like Knile Davis and Ty Montgomery to run the ball. Not a good spot to be in.
