I think that if Green Bay can get their defense in order, they will go far. They have great players on defense, I.E. Clay Matthews, AJ Hawk, Charles Woodson, etc. They just need to get some momentum. The NFC North looked decent yesterday aside from the Packers. But it is still week one and there is a whole season to improve. San Fran looked decent. Pitts, even though they lost, played a really physical game. Troy Palamalolo or however you spell his name was probably the most physical player I saw last night. The critics were saying that the steelers defense wasn't stepping up, but they were hitting HARD. I think once they fix some gaps, they'll be really good this season. Overall, its hard to make a pick from week 1 who will go far in playoffs, but if I had to say, I the Ravens. Not a whole lot of offense, but their defense held the Bengals to 78 total yards in the first half... (game is happening now and its a blowout)
