A team that, in January of 2008, played for the NFC championship and then missed out on the playoffs the following season did not know what to expect as the fall of 2009 approached.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE TOP CAPPERS FOR NFL FOOTBALL BETTING THIS SEASON —–><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n How giddy the Packers and their backers must have been, then, when Aaron Rodgers came into his own as an NFL field general and led the Pack to an 11-5 record and the No. 5 seed in the NFC postseason. <\/p>\n What made the 2009 run to the playoffs so satisfying in the NFL\u2019s smallest market was the realization that the team came on so strong after a flat first half. Only 4-4 at the midway point of the season and smarting after a terrible loss to lowly Tampa Bay, the Packers rallied to win seven of their last eight. <\/p>\n Rodgers caught fire thanks to improved protection from his offensive line. In the team\u2019s final two games, it won by 38 points (Seattle) and 26 points (Arizona) to not only make the playoffs, but crash through the front door. This team did not back into a bit of good fortune. It authoritatively claimed a postseason spot. <\/p>\n A dream of getting back to the Super Bowl died, however, in the wild card round, as Arizona and Kurt Warner outlasted the Pack in overtime, 51-45, in a modern-day postseason classic. <\/p>\n In 2010, it\u2019s not hard to figure out the key to the Packers\u2019 season. <\/p>\n It\u2019s all about defense. Charles Woodson is around to patrol the secondary, and Clay Matthews III will be able to make plays as a linebacker. One point of immediate concern is the fact that defensive end Johnny Jolly has been suspended for the entire season due to his violation of the NFL\u2019s substance abuse policy. <\/p>\n Yet, all those very specific issues pale in comparison to the bigger picture, which is that the Packers need more strength and toughness everywhere on their defense. <\/p>\n A lack of a consistent pass rush doomed Green Bay in last year\u2019s playoffs. While it\u2019s true that Arizona\u2019s winning touchdown in overtime came from the defensive side of the ball, the fact remains that the Packers allowed 45 points in regulation. <\/p>\n Had they not been so porous against the Cardinals\u2019 passing attack, they might have won without need of sudden death. Naturally, then, Green Bay must get more defensive production in 2010. Woodson and Matthews can\u2019t carry the load themselves, and in a division with Brett Favre and Jay Cutler, a thin defense is going to rear its ugly head before too long. <\/p>\n Forget the fact that the Packers lost that NFC Wild Card shootout in Arizona last January; even if they might win those same shootouts for much of 2010, they can\u2019t count on claiming those kinds of games in the playoffs. <\/p>\n Ultimately, the feeling here is that the Packers are definitely a playoff team. No questions need to be asked on that score. The key is getting to the Super Bowl and that\u2019s where defense will tell the tale for better or worse. <\/p>\n The Jolly suspension doesn\u2019t help matters.<\/p>\n The Packers will likely make the NFC Divisional Playoffs and fall short at that point in the NFL season. <\/p>\n Super Bowl Odds: +1015 Place they\u2019ll finish in NFC North: 2nd <\/strong> It’s another season making NFL previews and Super Bowl predictions for the Green Bay Packers.
