The Green Bay Packers are about to kickoff the season against the Chicago Bears. But before they do, let’s check in on some predictions for the campaign.

The Green Bay Packers are celebrating their centennial season in 2018, marking the 100th year their franchise has been in the NFL. It’s a historic season that will hopefully end in the Lombardi Trophy returning to its true home.

In those 100 years, the Packers overall record is 737-562-37 with a 34-22 playoff record. They are also 4-1 in Super Bowls with their only loss coming in 1998 against the Denver Broncos.

Atop their leader boards is a hoard of great names. Brett Favre (all-time passing leader), Ahman Green (all-time rushing leader) and Donald Driver (all-time receiving leader) are just a few of the greats to walk through the doors in the last couple of decades.

Before them came a host of other greats such as Bart Starr, Don Hutson, Ray Nitschke and many, many others.

In order to celebrate the centennial season in style, I’ve made some bold predictions for how the upcoming year will go. None of these predictions are completely crazy, but it will take a lot to go right in order to make them happen. Let’s check them out.
