Packers next up 9.5 wins as their projected total, the more I I thought about the Packers offense is the higher I have gotten on the unit overall because the two tight ends bring you such different dimensions.

You know, I think Tucker Craft is more of a dirty work guy, but he’s still a pretty dynamic pass catcher.

Whereas Luke Musgrave, I think there’s gonna be like two plays a game.

They get him on some kind of concept that he is just infuriating for an opposing defense.

And not to mention, I, I actually think that there’s all this kind of speculation of, oh, the Packers signed Josh Jacobs, but they’re gonna have him in a rotation because Matt Lalo has always had, he always has a rotation in the backfield, but you’re really platoon in, you know, Josh Jacobs with AJ Dillon.

Well, no, he’s on Ir you’re gonna platoon him with, with Marshawn Lloyd.

I mean, he’s been banged up this off season.

We’ll, we’ll see.

So I actually kind of think they’re gonna come out hot and heavy in the first four weeks of the season, really leaning on Jacobs and, and we’ll see how that goes because, you know, he obviously is coming off of a down season last year with the Raiders.

I am kind of all in on this team right now because I love this offense.

I love Jordan, love, I love really, really like Matt Lafleur in his play calling Christian Watson is like their designated hitter like, ok, they get in the red zone, boom.

They’re gonna design to play for him.

You mentioned Luke Musgrave, he’s kind of the tight end version of that and you could tell which guys LA for probably identified as his guys in the draft because those guys get a lot of play designs.

Uh but then you get Reed, who’s I, I think we both of us are in the same boat where it’s like this guy is so useful.

It is good.

It can go inside outside, he can get designed runs like, yeah, like Reed is my type of receiver just because all the things he can do.

I think this is the top five offense.

They’re spoilers a team that I think is one of my teams.

I’m gonna pick to have in my final four as making the NFC conference title game.

Whether I think they win it or not.

We’ll see.

But, uh, yeah, I just like it, they’re well coached the defense also.

I like some of the improvements there, switching defense coordinators.

It can’t get worse against the run Xavier mckinney at safety.

They run single high.

He’s really good at the post safety.

They got b the rookie to be more near the box.

It all, it’s all making sense to me, especially with the pass rush, everything.

So I’m over on the Packers.

If you can’t tell at 9.5 point you are over as well.

Ok.
