2. Green Bay Packers

Unfortunately, I couldn’t squeeze the Packers into the No. 1 spot no matter how much I wanted to.

They’ve overhauled their coaching staff under Mike McCarthy this season in an attempt to bring in some fresh blood. Oddly enough, that fresh coaching staff includes former offensive coordinator Joe Philbin. However, offense isn’t the problem, defense has been. New defensive coordinator Mike Pettine is being looked at as a savior who can prop up this under-talented unit into a serviceable one.

Green Bay also dipped into the free agency pool under new general manager Brian Gutekunst. They signed Jimmy Graham, Tramon Williams and Muhammad Wilkerson to boost their talent level.

The biggest question will be if Aaron Rodgers can remain healthy. If so, they have a chance to compete with anyone in the division and reclaim their rightful spot as Kings of the North.
