Of course, a 37-20 lo s to San Francisco in that titlegame provided a reality check, Isaiah Oliver Jerseys and the Packers were the center of 2020 NFL Draft drama when they traded up to get Utah State quarterback Jordan Love in the first round.
How much pre sure does that put on two-time MVP Aaron Rodgers heading into the 2020 season?Green Bays schedule is tougher this time around with the AFC South and NFC South, and that inconsistency on the road will be tested again.

Green Bay plays a first-place schedule, and that meansfacingNFC division champions Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Francisco teams that combined for a 35-13 record last season. Those will be the biggest hurdles on the schedule.
The Packers are just 10-15 on the road (including postseason) the Kyle Pitts Jerseys last three seasons. Two of those lo ses were to the 49erslast season, and those are the big-moment games Green Bay still has not been able to win on the road since Rodgers led the last Super Bowl run in 2010.

Packersstrength of schedule & predictionGreen Bays opponents had a 128-126-2 record in2019, good for a .504 winning percentage and Drake London T Shirts the 14th toughest schedule in the NFL by record.
The Packers face just four teams that won six games or le s last season, and two of those are against the Lions. Detroit lost two games by a combined four points to Green Bay in 2019. Carolina and Jacksonville both visit Lambeau Field and are among the easiest games on the schedule.
Toughest tests:The road schedule is ridiculous outside the division. New Orleans and San Francisco are the biggest Atlanta Falcons Polos tests. The Packers have not won at the Superdome since 1995, and Green Bay is 1-4 at San Francisco with Rodgers at quarterback.
That's not all. Tampa Bay has Tom Brady now, and Houston and Indianapolis have Deshaun Watson and Philip Rivers at quarterback. Those are the hurdles outside the normal NFC North routine.
Biggest breakshiladelphia beat the Packers at Lambeau in a Thursday night game last season, and that was Green Bay's only home lo s. The Packers avoid Atlanta on the road, which has been A.J. Terrell Jr. Jerseys a disaster the last few trips. Jacksonville and Tenne see become Michael Vick Jerseys easier at Lambeau, too.
The Packers are 17-7-1 at home the last three seasons. The only teams that have been better in the same stretch are New England (23-5), Minnesota (19-6), New Orleans (21-7) and Kansas City (21-.
Bottom line:The Packers are still good enough to win 10 games and take the NFC North Division, but that starts with those division games. Green Bay went 6-0 in those last Atlanta Falcons Pet Gear season under LaFleur, and that's a rare occurrence. Minnesota has improved, and that will be the big competition once again.
The Rodgers-Love drama won't overshadow what the Packers should know in August. As long as Lambeau remains a distinct home-field advantage and they steal a few on the road, Green Bay will be back in the playoffs.
Record prediction:10-6
