Green Bay Packers are coming off an awful
season where their frailties were exposed. Brett Favre endured a dreadful year
only to postpone his retirement in order to play behind an inexperienced O-
Line, with only one decent wide receiver (Donald Driver) and a corps of injured
or past their best running backs. No one, however, is further over the hill than
Favre himself, whose athleticism and incredible arm strength can no longer mask
his poor decision-making and basic dumbness. If you thought the Packers
struggled last season wait until you see them this season.
Handicapping Value:
Very strong if you play against them. The Green Bay Packers have a lot of fans,
and bettors with good long-term memory and poor short-term memory (and
many of these people exist) will continue to give Green Bay too much
credit. Line value will be in the other team's favor, especially when the
Packers are at home.
Best Time To Bet:
Late season home games where the Packers are meant to be at their best -
ferocious winter months at Lambeau will no longer mean an automatic W for this
team. Look to play against them. Early on in the season will also be
good, because it takes time for others to work out just how dire this
team will be.
Predictions:
No playoffs for the Green Bay Packers, and another new head coach for 2007. No
more Favre after this season, and this one will be embarrassing to watch. A 5
win SU team at best.
