PACKERS

The Green Bay Packers ended the year on a five game losing streak and blowing the biggest playoff lead since Tom Brady and the Patriots came back against the Falcons in the Superbowl being down 28-3. And they lost in the playoffs to their division rival Chicago Bears. 

Backup quarterback, Malik Willis is a free agent. As a starter the past two seasons he was 2-1, throwing 6 touchdowns, and rushing for 3 more. He completed 78.7% of his passes. He'll get paid from someone. Backup runningback, Emanuel Wilson is also a free agent. He was the only Packer runningback to rush for over a 100 yards in a game this past season (Josh Jacobs did not have a 100 yard rushing game - I know I was shocked when I read that too). 

Other notable free agents is linebacker, Quay Walker, wideout, Romeo Dobbs, and left tackle, Rasheed Walker. 

Who will stay and who will go? It is noted that first round pick Matthew Golden did not have a touchdown during his rookie season so maybe the Packers keep Dobbs? Green Bay may need Quay Walker since Micah Parsons will be recovering from his torn knee. Rasheed Walker had a down year, but is a solid tackle.

The Denver Nuggets may be the team that can take out the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets did bring the Thunder to seven games in the Western Conference Semifinals this past post season.  They resigned Bruce Brown, signed Tim Hardaway Jr., Aaron Gordon will be healthy heading into the season, and Nikola Jokic will be a top three MVP player. Losing out on Jonas Valanciunas sucks, but maybe they'll be able to sign Bradley Beal if he becomes available?

The LA Clippers beat down the Denver Nuggets last night to take a 2-1 lead in their series. The Clippers were better than the Nuggets in almost ever statistical category which showed since they won by 34 points.  Nikola Jokic had a triple double, but only scored 23 points which is below his season average of almost 30 points per game. Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon both score in double digits, but the rest of team didn't help too much.  Denver and LA were 2-2 in the 4 games they played against each other this year.

BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos and Bo Nix are playing well this season. After beating their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders last night, they hold an 8-2 record.  Don't get too excited though, they have only beaten one team above 500 (Eagles). Their two losses are against the Chargers and the Colts.  Don't get me wrong, this team is playing well, has a good defense, and a good young quarterback, but lets see how they do against teams with winning records.  Their nect game is against the Kansas City Chiefs.
