Starting with a 29-10 road loss to Denver on Nov. 1 as 2.5-point road favorites, the Packers have gone 4-6 both straight-up and against the spread over their last 10 games. They closed-out the regular season with two losses (SU and ATS) including a disappointing 20-13 setback against Minnesota as three-point home favorites that cost the team the division title. The total has stayed UNDER in 10 of their last 13 games.</p>
<p>It is hard to pinpoint exactly what has gone wrong for this team down the stretch, but its All-Pro quarterback Aaron Rodgers would have to be considered part of the problem with fewer than 300 yards passing in each of his last seven games. During this same span, he has tossed just 10 touchdowns against five interceptions. The Packers' running game lead by Eddie Lacy and James Starks is averaging 115.6 yards a game, but it could only manage 76 yards on 26 carries in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. </p>
