4. Green Bay Packers (4)

After a shockingly unexpected loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Green Bay Packers got back on track in Week 10 as they defeated the Carolina Panthers at home. It was a tough win as the Panthers are no easy win and they had a great game out of MVP candidate Christian McCaffrey.

Although Green Bay had some great performances as well. Davante Adams pulled in seven receptions for 118 yards and running back Aaron Jones continued his fantastic season by running in three more touchdowns and 93 yards on just 13 carries.

At 8-2, they’re looking like one of the best teams in the entire league. And now they get a week off to rest up and plan for the final six games of the season. And when they get back on the field, they‘ll have a big challenge with the San Francisco 49ers, another NFC powerhouse.

That contest could be huge when it comes to securing home-field advantage in the playoffs. And even though they haven’t been in the playoffs in a couple of seasons, no one wants to go to Green Bay and face the Packers in Lambeau Field. They can get a huge advantage should they finish the year off strong and force everything to go through Green Bay in the NFC playoffs.
