Sports personality Nick Wright is betting on the Green Bay Packers to win the NFC North division in the upcoming season. NFC is one of the most diverse divisions in the NFL. The division consists of the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, and Packers. Several analysts have already picked their favorites. However, Wright believes the Green Bay Packers will beat others to clinch the title. 

On First Things First, Nick Wright claimed the Green Bay Packers could beat others under the leadership of quarterback Jordan Love. Wright said, “I like the Green Bay Packers as the scorned X of winning the division.” Wright believed Love could prove himself as the superstar of the team following the departure of Aaron Rodgers. He also added that it would not be difficult to perform better than Rodgers did last season. Wright also predicted last year’s winner, the Minnesota Vikings to fall in the upcoming campaign and miss the playoffs.

“And speaking of the vibes go, the best vibes in the league are Green Bay Packers. Good young talent and wide receivers. Good running game, and an underrated defense. A chip on the shoulder and a coach… and a quarterback who has to sit and learn for years. Will he be great? No. Will he be as good as Aaron was last season? It’s not that hard. I like the Green Bay Packers as the strong axe to win the division,” Wright said.

The Green Bay Packers will start their journey without Aaron Rodgers being included in the squad for the first time in 18 years. He joined the squad in the year 2005 and became the starter in 2008. Since then, he has contributed significantly to his team and won four NFL MVPs along the way. Rodgers helped them win the Super Bowl XLV against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

This offseason, the New York Jets, under the leadership of the head coach Robert Saleh, traded for Rodgers. Hence, after 18 years, a new face will be able to lead the team on the pitch. Nick Wright has put his faith in Jordan Love to lead the Packers into a new era of success.

The story of Jordan Love in the Green Bay Packers

Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers have some bizarre similarities. Both did not get the chance to have regular starts in their first three seasons. Rodgers started in his fourth season and created wonders for the team. Similarly, Love is preparing to start for the Packers in his fourth season. Whether he will prove himself in his first season as a starter remains to be seen. 

Last season, Love started as a backup player for the Packers while Rodgers remained their starter. The team signed a $22.5 million contract with the quarterback when Rodgers left for the Jets. During the preseason, QB Alex McGough praised Love in an interview. He believed Jordan Love could win the Superbowl and shine for the Packers.

Love had a decent preseason, and he surprised everyone with his plays. It remains to be seen if he could carry on with this form to the regular season. The Green Bay Packers will begin their NFL 2023 season on 10 September against the Bears.
