Packer fans have a lot to look forward to this upcoming year, and James Jones may have just increased fans' excitement with his prediction for Green Bay's potential regular season.

On "NFL Total Access," Jones was paired with former NFL running back Maurice Jones-Drew to predict the Packers record and show if and how they will make the playoffs. 

Jones started out by saying that Green Bay would start out 8-0 including a win at New England as well as on the road against the LA Rams.

Jones-Drew then picked Green Bay to win seven of their remaining eight games and then allowing Jones to pick the Week 13 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Jones of course selected that as a win bringing the record to a perfect 16-0. 

Jones-Drew then changed his picks and had the Packers finishing the season 12-3-1 claiming, "that's the real record. That's how Green Bay will make the playoffs with 12 (Aaron Rodgers) back." 

The Packers kick off their season September 9 against the Chicago Bears on 'Sunday Night Football' on NBC.
