NFC North Conference - Green Bay Packers PreviewIt is hard to believe just how quickly the Green Bay Packers have deteriorated in recent years, going from a playoff team in 2004 to a last place club in 2005. Even with Brett Favre coming back this season, we are looking for another last-place finish.2008 NFC Conference Championship: New York Giants vs Green Bay Packers Green Bay Packers Super Bowl XLII Betting Odds In fact Favre may regret not retiring and just resting on his laurels. Remember that he threw career high 29 interceptions last season, and with two of his better receivers gone in Javon Walker and Antonio Chatman, and with Favre having a penchant to force passes in any case, he could easily top 30 picks this year! This will be especially true as other teams start double-teaming Donald Driver, daring the Packers to beat them with their sub-par complimentary receivers. To make matters worse, the running game is also a shambles. The top two Green backs entering last season Ahman Green and Najeh Davenport have not even had football-related activities since their respective surgeries last year. That leaves Samkon Gado as the starting back for now, and he has never been a go-to guy and he is coming off of a torn ACL himself. To top things off, Green Bay may have chosen the wrong man to help patch up the offensive line, curiously selecting offensive tackle Daryn Colledge in the second round of the draft with the more highly regarded tackle Marcus McNeil still on the board.

Now to their credit, the Packers did draft a couple of blue-chippers linebackers to help the defense in first round pick A.J. Hawk and third rounder Abdul Hodge. The problem is that they will be learning at the NFL level simultaneously while playing linebacker together, which while great for the future, is a detriment for this year. Therefore we again expect the Green Bay Packers to finish in the cellar.
