  • Packers hold 26th & 55th picks in 2013 NFL Draft

    With Baltimore's win in Super Bowl XLVII the first round draft order is set. As NFL Network once reminded us, we're all undefeated again so it's time to turn the page to the 2013 season. The complete draft order (with the addition of compensatory picks) will be set during the NFL's annual meeting in late March. Also if I'm reading this right, the Packers hold all seven of their original picks. However, the Packers will likely receive one compensatory pick for losing Matt Flynn. Here's how the first two rounds look:

  • Super Bowl predictions

    Greg Matzek & I bring back an old tradition of making Super Bowl predictions. But we don't just predict the score, we throw out a few prop bets as well. Here's how we see Super Bowl XLVII playing out:

  • Donald Driver's legacy

    News of Donald Driver's retirement shouldn't come as a big surprise. The veteran turns 38 on Saturday and saw his role with the Packers diminish so much that he had to volunteer to play on special teams just to see the field. Driver only wanted to play with the Packers and when it became clear that this would be his last go-around with the Pack it was time to call it a career.

  • Get ready for Super-baugh XLVII

    Whether you want to call it the Super-baugh, the Harbowl or anything else, get ready for an onslaught of Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh this week. But while there will be much talk on the sibling rivalry the focus should be on the quarterbacks.

  • Was Brandon Jennings snubbed?

    With the unveiling of the NBA All-Star reserves came disappointment among Bucks fans. Once again, Milwaukee will not be represented in the All-Star Game. Brandon Jennings has put together a solid first half, certainly worthy of all-star consideration. So was he snubbed?

  • Senior Bowl Week begins

    Most NFL people are in Alabama this week for a week's worth of Senior Bowl activities. I've been saying the last few years that Senior Bowl week is becoming one of my favorite weeks of the year. This is the time that NFL teams start the process of building a Super Bowl team and a solid performance in Mobile this week will go a long way in helping a player's draft stock.

  • College football all-star game season

    For 28 NFL teams the focus this weekend will not be on the conference championship games but rather on a pair of college football all-star games that usually serve as the launching point for NFL Draft season.

  • The Dom Capers paradox

    If there was a theme to Packers Nation the last few days it could be summed up in three words: fire Dom Capers.

  • Packers will pick 26th in NFL Draft

    With the end of the postseason run for the Packers their draft position is set. Thanks to Baltimore's win over Denver the Packers nail down pick number 26 for April's draft. If you want to get an early jump on scouting, ESPN has Auburn defensive end Corey Lemonier ranked as their 26th best player. CBS Sports' NFL Draft Scout puts Oregon defensive end Dion Jordan at number 26. Below is the updated draft order:

  • Packers-49ers: Three keys

    The Smiths The playmaking outside linebacker Aldon Smith registered 19.5 sacks in 2012 but his production dropped when defensive end Justin Smith was lost with a tricep injury. The defensive end is set to return tonight and that will not only give a boost to thr 49ers run defense but should open things up for the linebacker who must be accounted for on every play.

  • NFL Playoffs: The Packers-49ers rematch

    The theme from Green Bay this week has been how much both the Packers and 49ers have changed since their Week One meeting. San Francisco made a quarterback change while the Packers offense evolved from a high-flying one-dimensional offense to a more balance and physical approach.

  • Updated 2013 NFL Draft order

    Four more slots have been solidified after Wild Card Weekend. Here's an updated draft order with the final eight spots still to be determined:

  • NFL Playoffs: And then there were eight

    Wild Card Weekend is in the books without any major surprises but plenty of storylines. On the AFC side both Houston and Baltimore were sliding into the playoffs but thanks to solid defense both teams are moving on to the divisional round. Baltimore-Denver and Houston-New England will both be rematches of key late season contests won by the Broncos and Patriots.

  • Packers-Vikings: Three keys

    Red Zone Mistakes In the first meeting between the two teams Minnesota's Christian Ponder threw two red zone interceptions. Then in Week 17 the Packers committed two defensive penalties on third down inside the red zone, allowing Minnesota to score a touchdown both times. The team that makes red zone mistakes will lose.

  • Packers-Vikings: The rematch

    One of the intriguing storylines of the Packers-Vikings Wild Card game is the fact that these two teams just met in Week 17. Facing a divisional foe is always difficult and that task is made even more difficult when you factor in the pressures of the postseason.

  • 2013 NFL Draft order

    The order of the first 20 picks are set:

  • Packers 2013 opponents

    The end of the 2012 regular season means the 2013 opponents are finalized. Here are Green Bay's 2013 opponents:

  • Packers-Vikings: Three keys

    All Day again Of course Adrian Peterson will be the focal point as he tries to break the single season rushing record. But Peterson might find it difficult to duplicate his performance against the Packers from December 2nd as both Clay Matthews and C.J. Wilson, who both missed the previous meeting, will be on the field today.

  • Packers-Titans: three keys

    CJ1K You don't think of Tennessee as an explosive offense but running back Chris Johnson can still rip off big runs including his 94 yarder against the Jets Monday night. Johnson has three scores of 80+ yards this year and while he doesn't put up the same yardage totals as he did in 2009-2010 his healthy 4.8 yards per carry would suggest he is still a threat.

  • 5 under the radar bowls to watch

    The bowl watching kicks in again on Thursday with a number of low-profile games. Here are five more (along with 5 non-BCS bowls) worth watching:
