The Packers are set up well for a new quarterback. They wouldn’t have pushed to trade Aaron Rodgers if they didn’t believe that. Jordan Love has spent the past three years learning from one of the best to ever do it, even if it was mostly by observation. But Love also has an established run game to lean on and a defense with eight first-round picks. Because teams won’t know what to immediately make of these Love-led Packers, they get off to a hot start and everyone starts believing Green Bay has yet another Hall of Famer under center, before the Packers come back down to earth toward the back half of the season. 

They won’t have it easy in Detroit on Thanksgiving. They’ll then have to turn around and play the defending champs, who are familiar with the harsh weather that could be present in Lambeau in November. That tough stretch isn’t over when they’ll have to travel to New Jersey to take on the New York Giants in primetime, either. That part of the season should temper expectations for the Packers but make no mistake, they’ll still be competing for a wild-card spot in the weaker NFC.
