Green Bay Packers: Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#14)

Last week: 13 (-1)

Record: 2-3

You could argue they deserve to be 4-1, losing on the touchception in Seattle week 3 and then blowing a 21-3 lead in Indianapolis last week as they ran into the ChuckStrong train, but the fact is, this team is 2-3 and in a loaded NFC, that really hurts them. One team every year goes from a 1st round bye to out of the playoffs. Given how San Francisco, New England, and Baltimore are playing, Green Bay is by far the favorite to do so this year. Their even yards per play differential is hardly impressive and they might be a smart team to bet against going forward, especially if the odds makers continue to rate them on par with teams like Houston (they’re -3.5 in Houston this week).
