Here were the predictions I made before Week 1. The team’s health probably accounts for most of the difference between their 13-3 record and my 9-7 prediction. Not dropping a close game to the Lions also helped. That seemed to be a characteristic of recent underachieving Packer teams. Relative health doesn't equate to a 4 win difference in record, though. one or two games I could see. Not 4. This team was overall batter than your prognostication. You aren't alone, though. I saw 10-11 wins best case, and I was wrong as well. You nailed many of the other predictions, but clearly missed on several. 1) Obviously 13-3 is way better then 9-7. 2) He is! And those numbers are pretty close. 3) King stayed healthy, and was productive for the most part. He gets a bad rap, but when healthy, the guy is pretty good. 4) Nope. Aaron Jones maintained his health all season, and Williams was a capable fill in. Basically a redshirt year for Dexter. Carson is a Lion now. 5) Kumerow wouldn't need any TDs to be a folk hero in lily white Wis. 6) Yep. Savage was a nice addition. Gary showed flashes, but the health at the edge spot meant he didn't see the field much. 7) Jenkins is a stud. Good call. 8) Well, they certainly tried. Lions wouldn't let them have it. 9) Vikings were better than expected. Not a great team, but have enough talent to surprise.
