2. Packers win double-digit games
Before winning 13 games last season, it had been three years since (2016) since Green Bay won double-digit contests in a single season. Although a lot of that was due to the health, or lack of health, of Rodgers, the Packers’ roster was certainly revealed as a thawed one that lacked depth.
General manager Brian Gutekunst has spent the majority of his tenure rebuilding that depth and balancing the team on both sides of the ball. He made a couple of huge free agent acquisitions in 2019 that will continue to positively affect his team in 2020.
With the Packers able to rely on their defense and run game more than in previous seasons, they’re in a good position to win double-digit games for the second straight year. Make no mistake, they’ll have to battle to pull it off, but the fight and scrappiness is there in this squad.
