NFL Power Rankings Week 7: Can Anyone Beat the Green Bay Packers?

Now that the Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are 6-0, it's time to start examining their chances at a perfect regular season. 

OK, maybe it's a little early. 

But they do have some glaring similarities to a certain New England Patriots team of a few years ago, don't they? 

So, can anyone beat the Packers?

To the schedule...

They travel to Minnesota next Sunday to face a very disappointing Vikings team that could be starting rookie quarterback Christian Ponder for the first time. 

Barring anything unforeseen, the Packers should have no problem taking care of business in that one.

Then the bye week.

After their time off, comes their sternest test against the Chargers in San Diego, although I don't see it as difficult as some think. 

Philip Rivers isn't playing at the MVP-type level he displayed he's capable of last season and I haven't been impressed with any of their wins this season (   )

Gathering road wins are never easy, but Green Bay's offense should be able to outscore the Chargers in that game.

Turnovers will be huge in that game.

In Week 10 they get the Vikings again, then the Buccaneers come to Lambeau in what could be a competitive contest.

That game along with the showdown on Thanksgiving against the Lions will undoubtedly test their resiliency, although I'm giving the Packers a distinct advantage against Detroit with the reports surfacing that Jahvid Best will be placed on the IR after suffering a concussion, ending his season.

At the very least Best will miss a considerable amount of time due to his previous concussion issues.

And away test in New Jersey against the Giants could feature an undefeated Packers club and a team fighting for the NFC East crown. 

Should be a slug-fest. 

Can anybody beat the Pack'?

Certainly—the Chargers and Giants have the best chances.
