NFL Playoff Scenarios: How No. 1 Seed Could Hurt Green Bay Packers

Even though the Green Bay Packers have the best record in the NFL, that may come back to hurt them.

The Packers are not built for Lambeau Field in January.

They like to pass the ball, and they live off turnovers.

I would never bet against Aaron Rodgers, but he definitely won't have the best weather. When hands are frozen, his pinpoint passes will be tough to catch. He won't be able to thread the needle like he's been able to all year, simply because the receivers probably won't be able to catch them.

Turnovers are great ways to win games. However, the Packers won't be able to feast off turnovers like the regular season.

They may force just as many turnovers, but they will probably turn it over even more than normal. Without the great turnover differential, it will be tough to hide how many yards their defense yields.

If the Packers avoid turning the ball over, they should be fine. However, if that plus-24 turnover differential starts to turn against them, the Packers will be in trouble.

Another major problem for the Packers is that they aren't the best NFC team built for outdoor football. The San Francisco 49ers have a great defense and running game.

If the 49ers can get to Green Bay, they match up very well with the Packers. Their defense could slow Rodgers down. Then, the running game would hold the ball and drive against a pretty bad Packer defense.

Other teams could also do damage in Green Bay. However, I simply think the 49ers provide the most trouble for the Packers.

Look, the Packers are the reigning Super Bowl Champions. They have been the best team all year. Rodgers is playing out of this world.

At the end of the day, though, playing at home could be the worst thing for the Packers.
