| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - As the lone remaining unbeaten team at the halfway point of this 2011 campaign and the unquestioned midseason Most Valuable Player leading the way, there's little debate that the Green Bay Packers have to be considered the favorites to capture a second consecutive Super Bowl title right now. History says it won't be so easy, however. Ten different clubs have represented the NFC in the Big Game over the last decade and the conference hasn't had a repeat champion since the Pack |

Getting the Packers to 8-0 for the first time in nearly 50 years is on top of McCarthy's list as Green Bay pays a visit to the floundering San Diego Chargers Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium. The Packers had some time to rest during their recent bye week, but McCarthy made it feel like training camp when the players returned Monday with a |

Rodgers, known largely for being the younger brother of Green Bay Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers, made a name for himself last week against Army by running and passing for a touchdown. There is no doubt that there is room for improvement, as Rodgers threw a pair of INTs, but he brought a spark to a normally dull offen |
