Get Lucky! NFL North Week 13

[bleedingpurple]

Chicago at Detroit - 7

Carolina at Minny - 3

NE at Green Bay - 3



Detroit took 2 road losses and were beat bad, truth be told I didn't watch any of the games, do they look that awful? They must, Bears played two lackies at home and have covered two in a row. I think Calvin gets a big game in this one. It's Lions for me or nothing.


Carolina coming off a bye and hate to go against a team off a bye but Minny should win this game. I don't know if it was because the defense for Green Bay was that bad or the Vikes offense got better but they had receivers running wide open down field and Teddy missed many many throws, at least he is making the right reads. Vikings inserted Joe Banyard at RB and Johnson at WR, 2 sparks and hope they continue to get more playing time.

Pats have looked dominating of late and face a dominant Packer team in Lambeau, Packers will have trued test, the other QBs who have come in can't match with Rodgers. Green Bay will have to get to Brady, they have a balanced attack and I don't know if they will be able to bring a steady blitz. On the other side, Rodgers is dominant, that bastard kept so many drives alive yesterday with his feet. Revis Island should take care of Jordy, but it's going to be hard. I already know I am not making a play on this game, just want to sit back, watch, and enjoy the game and hope the Pats crush em.

Early leans are definitely Detroit and Minny.. Possibly Minny over as well. I think the Vikes offense is going to start clicking a little bit more, I have a feeling there will be some defensive or special teams score as well. Wait and see.

Vikes starting right tackle Phil Loadholt out for the season with a torn pec, Vikes have absolutely no offensive line depth. The left side of the line continues to be the worst left guard/tackle tandum.

Meanwhile in Green Bay, they have some issues going on as well with the LB position. NIck Perrry dinged up and missed game against Minnesota forcing AJ Hawk who is not very good into more action on passing downs. Hawk also played banged up, it would be a major blow to the Packer's defense if Perry does not go and I guess to me that will determine who I lean to. The ONLY way the Packers will stop New England's offense is by pressuring Brady, the Packers run elaborate blitz packages in 3 - 4 defense. One problem with that is teams can get burned very easily and the Pats have a solid O line, without Perry, the Pats will have a big advantage against Hawk in passing game. I am starting to think I am liking the Pats more and more as I break it down. I am going to hold true to my words and not have a play on the game but I think New England has a much better defense than the Packers do and it could be the difference.

Detroit -7 is a definite play. Offense will get healthy and Cutler should get hit a few
Times today!

Minny - 3
Will also be a play. Only one if those two teams play defense and look for Newton to be hit as well. I expect much more blitzing and Xavier Rhodes is an above average single up corner and he will be on Benjamin.

Leaning Pats and will play them in a teaser. Packers are having major problems at LB position and they will not have the luxury of dominant pass blitz and be able to confuse the QB. Revised should take the wr out
Of the game on his side of field. Still can't go against the Packers at Lambeau -3 but i will -10

I will surely give you NE D is better but you even must admit the Pack D has been better...3 of last 4 games they have pretty much dominated Car, Chic an Philly. Should be a helluva game..No play for me as i never ever play GB games.

Played tons better without a doubt. This is a knock on the Packer LB status right now. Vikings had guys running wide open down the middle, bridge missed, if they allow that to happen this week, Brady will eat them alive. Should be a good one
