Today's best bet: GREEN BAY PACKERS (Over 81/2 regular-season wins)

The Packers made the right move by sticking with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. Rodgers has enormous potential, and Green Bay's more mature defense looks strong. After going 13-3 in 2007, the Packers slipped to 6-10 last year, but seven of those losses were by four points or fewer. Bet Green Bay over 81/2 at about minus-170 or over nine wins at close to even money.
