2015 NFL Previews

As Andy Williams sang, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!,” except we’re not talking about Christmas. The new NFL preview magazines are coming out. If you’re lucky like us, you can purchase the versions that have Packers on the cover as we did at the Barnes & Noble in Green Bay this past Saturday.

Let’s go through each of them and see what they predict for the Packers in 2015. Athon Sports Pro Football (above), has the team winning the NFC North Division, beating Philadelphia in the Divisional Round, finally beating the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game, and winning Super Bowl 50 over the Indianapolis Colts. Very nice.

Lindy’s Sports Pro Football also has the Packers winning the NFC North and beating Seattle in the NFC Championship game... but winning Super Bowl 50 over the Baltimore Ravens. 

The Sporting News Pro Football joins the rest in picking the Packers to win the NFC North, but has them beating the New York Giants in the Divisional Round, before heading to Seattle to also beat the Seahawks in the NFC Championship. In Super Bowl 50, they predict that Green Bay will beat New England.

USA Today NFL 2015 has a panel of experts voting on their predictions for the coming season. All eight pick the Packers to win the NFC North, five of the eight have Green Bay winning the NFC Championship game, and five of eight have the Packers beating either Indianapolis (3 votes), New England (1 vote), or Denver (1 vote) in Super Bowl 50.

O.K., that’s not too much pressure on our team, is it?
