Looks like the pundits are starting to take notice of the Packers.

All the hype in the NFC North so far this year has been centered on the high-profile quarterback changes in Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota. But that's about to change. Green Bay is clearly the team to beat in the division, and the Packers are about to force us to pay attention.

The Packers have a rising star in Aaron Rodgers, and their new 3-4 defense looks as if it will bring improvement. Prediction: 10-6, first in NFC North
Steve Wyche
Transition to 3-4 won't prompt a step backward. Aaron Rodgers and depth make Packers team to beat in the division. Prediction: 11-5, first in NFC North.
Pat Kirwan
Playing more zone will help a team that was predictable in man coverages. Rodgers is on the verge of being a top 10 quarterback. If the running game gets going, eight wins is too low. Prediction: 8-8, third in NFC North
Bucky Brooks
The Packers fly under the radar to finish with the league's best record behind an explosive offense and a suffocating defense. Prediction: 12-4, first in NFC North
Jason La Canfora
The Packers have made the move to a 3-4 scheme look easy this preseason. Love the QB, and the offensive line should rebound. Prediction: 11-5, first in NFC North

I'd say Rodgers is already firmly implanted as a top 10...strange comment.
