2-2 may not be enough

I am not a Packer fan by any means so save your jeers, I am a Viking fan 100% balls to bone but seriously ... they could very easily win out. Look at their schedule.

Houston
at Jacksonville
at Chicago
Detroit

The closest thing to a winning team is the duuuhhh bears. I got them 75% 3-1, 25% 4-0. I think everyone in the NFL wants to see Adrian Peterson in the playoffs, let's raise our bar ... 3-1!

houston actually has the same record as green bay

and green bays secondary got their ass handed to them by saints, andre johnson is far better then any receiver the saints had and will burn the shit out of green bays slow corners

i also dont see the packers being able to stop the jags rushing game, even without pat and kevin the vikings still have better D-tackles then green bay

Jacksonville

Has just been playing terrible and actually its the one game I think the Pack will win.

If anything, I have to agree with the NativeViking. We’ve all seen how terrible the Packers run D is. Jacksonville should be able to give them trouble. And if they do somehow manage to stop the running attack, Jones-Drew has already shown he’s a damn good reciever also.

The Jags have nothing to play for, except the role of spoiler. If they aren’t going to be in the playoffs, you can bet they’re gonna try and make sure Greenbay can’t either.

I think the Texans is the most likely loss.

Personally, I hope they win three and then the Lions play spoiler :D.

Okay, I don’t hope they win three, I hope they lose four, but this would be funny.

In AP I trust

Not a chance

The Packers are simply sliding too fast. After the spanking they got at the hands of the Saints, they went on to shoot themselves in the foot at home against Carolina in a close game last week. Two agonizing losses in a row like that would be just too much. Especially for a team like that. The Packers are done.

Re: Not a chance

I hope yall are right but personally and objectively I think the Pack is better than each and everyone of those teams.

Houston will find the confines of Green Bay a difficult place to play.
Jacksonville – I voted for Jacksonville, but they have been bad too. This is a coin toss 4 me.
The Bears secondary is awful, I think Rogers will pick them apart.
The Lions are the Lions.

Greenbays

Defense finds it hard to play in the confines of GB and everywhere else for that matter.Plus I believe GB has fired a punter,dont know if they have gotten a replacement yet.Lot of Teams are going play spoiler,at this point in the season anything can happen.

Packers are terrible

remember they are 3-7 over their last 10 games. Nothing over their last 10 games should give them confidence that they’ll do better than 2-2.

27th in the league defending the run
22nd in the league in points allowed (including Detroit’s highest point total of the year)

what you say here can, and will, be used against you

My $0.02

Since nobody mentioned it, the Bears have the same remaining schedule basically as the Pack except the Bears play the Saints and the Pack play the Lions.

With that said, the Slackers have the opponents to win out, but I don’t think they will. 3-1 at best. They have lost 4 of their last 5. The Jags are really bad, but secondary is their strong suit which matches up well with the Slack’s pass happy offense. Houston is a very losable game for them though.

If the Packers beat the bears, the Vikes own the tiebreaker over the Bears but not over the Pack. If the Packers lose to the Bears, and the Vikes beat the Lions, the tiebreaker is very complicated.

If the Vikes can win 3 or 4, it is over. If they win 2, I give them 70% to get in. Lose 3 and I give them 20. Lose 4 and I give them 5.

Here’s to hoping the Vikes win this weekend while the other two teams lose. Then it would be almost over.
