8 of the 17 games are non-noon starts. Four of those are true prime-time games with the first one against Dallas out of the bye week.
Thursday night against Pittsburgh was the hardest games to peg because so much of their potential depends on Big Ben but by week 14 he may be living on the training table.
The week 17 game against Green Bay - on Sunday night - is a close second as far as difficulty of having a handle on predicting the W/L. What Rodgers does will set the tone for the entire season in the North and would decisively flip the pan-ultimate game if he's not in the mix.
But until that mercy comes to pass the position needs to be taken that he'll be there and leading his team to the playoffs again.
It was already known but after a season without fans it's great that the League gave us nine home games because that home-field advantage will be unlike ever before! So maybe that will tip the balance in the likely event that Trey Lance has taken over for an injured Jimmy G or will lead to another loss by a Matt Stafford-lead team. But the offensive wizardry of the head coaches for San Fran & LA needs to be respected even considering the volume at the masses will make.
11-6 would get them into the mix for the postseason and possibly far better than that. Even with the variables that have yet to be determined it's a fair guess.
