first to nick,
i finally got the money to get a haircut today after going 4-2 last night. thanks for the concern though.
si,
nice job on getting the best of both worlds with the parlay and game. wish i would have followed your lead, but what can ya do.
i will be making a play on the pack for sure on sunday. the weather really should not be much of a factor at all on sunday. the weather has been great all winter so far. sunny and mild (30-50 degrees) just about everydayand it hasn't snowed yet. the weather report tonight called for 35 and sunny for kick-off sunday.
i would expect the offenses to equal each other out, and the difference to come from the pack's D. g.brown, n.wayne, n.diggs, b.jue, and a.rossum have all practiced this week and are expected to play. both linebackers are big, but brown could be the real difference. he has been doing many extra hours of conditioning this week so he's able to stay in the game as much as possible. gb's run defense really has taken a dive the last few weeks with him out. with him in gb should be able to contain hearst leaving it to garcia and owens. dont get me wrong, those two are deadly, but if gb can really focus on the pass and not worry about the run as much, they should be able to slow them down a bit. mckenzie should be up for this one after signing a nice contract extension.
i also like the fact that the pack has really been up for the big games this year and this is a big game. opening day in gb they beat the lions convincingly(ok,big deal),then they play the mon nighter after 9-11 and kill the skins on national tv. next they play bad at lowly carolina and lose at tb who doesn't have the best record at the time and then come back and beat the defending super bowl champs easily, but follow that with a loss at lowly minn. beat the bears in a big game then lose to atl, beat the bears again, but lose the following week to the titans. you get the point. they will be up for this.
the last fact is that the pack owes them for the playoff loss a couple years ago. they would have won the game if the refs would have gotten the call right on rice's drop that they called a catch. that was then and this now.
hope this helps, will be watching those 3 unit plays closely
gl to you
