The Green Bay Packers are the top team in FanWide’s NFL rankings. While the Green Bay Packers have dominated the rest of the NFL on the field with their 4 Super Bowl victories and 34 playoff wins, it is their unique connection to their fan base off the field that truly separates them from every other team. Located in the small city of Green Bay, Wisconsin, Lambeau Field sticks out from the houses and local restaurants that surround it. Green Bay may not have the glitz and glamour of a New York or Los Angeles but they have Packers football and they love it. Every Sunday, from September to December, Packers fans come together whether it be at a home game or at a local bar (at a FanWide Packers watch party) to support and root for the Packers. This tight-knit and close community is what makes the Packers fan base special and different from every other NFL team.

Recently, the Packers have not been playing up to their usual high standards. However with new head coach Matt Lafleur at the helm and a ton of new defensive weapons such as Rashan Gary, Preston Smith, Za’Darius Smith, and Adrian Amos the Packers future looks very bright. Lets not forget to mention that the Packers also have future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers who many consider to be the best player in the league. While having these new defensive stars is nice, it all starts with Rodgers and what he is able to do this year. If he is able to play at a level anywhere near his 2014 MVP season, the rest of the league is in a lot of trouble.
Here is the list of teams that already have been announced:
10. Seattle Seahawks
