Nate -The only team more overhyped this year is the Jets, and that includes the Ravens and Cowboys. There turnover margin was 9 higher than any other team,+24 last year, tied for the best in this decade, and one better than the 2000 Ravens. Why wouldn’t you pick the Packers who went 6-10 in 2008 to 11-5 last year having the most takeways and fewest giveaways, there sure to do it again. DPOY CB Charles Woodson (age 34) lead a very good secondary that had 30 INTs last year. This year CB Al Harris is out and is being replaced by an undrafted rookie Sam Shields who converted from reciever. Another rookie, 3rd round pick Morgan Burnett will start at S along with Nick Collins. The LB are similar to the DB’s, 2 great players, 2 terrible players. RILB Nick Barnett and LOLB Clay Mathews are Pro Bowl caliber players but AJ Hawk and Chillar are below average players. Losing DE Jonny Jolly for the year will hurt big time, Picket and Raji must step up big. The defense caused 28, 28, and 27 takeaways before causing 40 last year so they can can create turnovers but its a sure bet they wont lead in takeaways or giveaways this year and be right around a +8 TO margin 9-7
