Not many analysts predicted them to be among the seven best teams in the conference, let alone win a playoff game.

Keeping that in mind, ESPN analyst Mike Greenberg wouldn’t be so surprised to see them in the big game next season.

“If I had to pick a sneaky flier to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl next year, I would go to Green Bay,” Greenberg said.

Talking on ESPN Radio, he showered Jordan Love in praise, stating that he was second to none over the final stretch of the campaign.

He pointed out that Love dominated the Detroit Lions on the road before humiliating the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs, adding that this team is quite young and it’s only going to keep getting better for years to come.

Truth be told, perhaps they’re still a couple of steps away from being Super Bowl material.

Then again, they do look far ahead of schedule, and it seems like Love is the real deal.

The Packers were a missed field goal away from taking the San Francisco 49ers to overtime in the NFC Divisional Round, and they had already proved that they could beat the Lions at Ford Field.
