| Vikings 30 @ Jaguars 12 | |
 | MattOnly four and a half months until Opening Day for the Twins. |
 | JeremyOk Vikings. That was a redonkulous non-call when Adrian Peterson got pulled down by one arm on a key fourth and one. However, it's hard to complain about a lone call in a game in which your team did diddily-poo in the second half, and had two potential game winning drives before fumbling that away, both times. The epically bad play calling certainly isn't helping anything either. |
 | SarahMeh is now a new word in the dictionary. So... meh. |
 | JonMinnesota looked ridiculously bad last week. I don't think Jacksonville is much of anything, but I'm not convinced the Vikings have a great chance against anyone. |
| Colts 23 @ Chargers 20 |  |
| MattI still like the Colts. Indy 24 - SD 17. |
| JeremyGet it together Rivers, don't make the team make a move to Joe Flacco. |
| SarahTwo good teams, now lost. What the F happened? |
| JonSan Diego has lost a few close ones and Indianapolis has won a couple close ones. Still, the Chargers just don't seem to have the winning formula or something. Maybe those games were all flukes but after a while it's just the way the team is. |
| Packers 29 @ Saints 51 | |
| MattThe Packers suck. Saints 33 - Packers 24. |
| JeremyTeams should stop measuring injuries to key players in terms of what a doctor thinks and instead just look to see how many weeks out they play the Packers, because the guy will be hurt at least that long. |
| SarahThe Saints have a good passing game, but the Packers have some p'retty good cornerbacks. Game on! Oh and yea that's right, I'm picking the Jets over the Titans. They gotta lose some time. |
| JonNew Orleans plays well at home, but they're just not that great either. So I think Green Bay can win this one. |

| With the Packers playing against the Saints and their high powered passing game, I am reminded of the movie "Miracle". Herb Brooks asks his team (rhetorically), how do you defend against the Russians. "You don't defend, you attack." It seems that all too often, going back several years, the Packers have come into a game like this where they are facing a team with some significant offensive threats and they change their entire game plan to sort of "cover" the teams strengths. (The most glaring time I can think of was way back in 2002 of 2003 when the Packers lost to the Rams in the playoffs. In that game, the Packers attempted to beat the Rams by going with 6 or 7 DBs almost the entire game, something that they hadn't attempted all year, and they got eaten alive (add Favre's 6 INTs and it was just not a pleasant game for Packer fans)). The Packers cannot just defend against the Saints, they need to attack the Saints' offense. The Packers have 6 touchdowns off of interceptions this season and 16 total interceptions for the season. While I can't say I would bet money on the Packers winning this game, I feel like this game as just as much a test for the Saints offense as it is for the Packers defense. |

Yes, the Packers have really been playing some amazing football this year. The Saints can't possibly compete with the Packers. Sure, they have the same record, and the NFC South is one of the best, if not the best, division in football, and this is a league where were the winless Lions to beat the undefeated Titans on Thanksgiving everyone would shrug and say "What a crazy year," but I agree, it's out of the realm of possibility that the 5-5 Saints even compete with the 5-5 Packers.  |

| If you read Bill Simmons latest column, he'll tell you how overrated home field advantage is nowadays. I was surprised to see that that many of the "experts" picked the Packers, but with the Saints injuries at RB and the Packers pass defense and seemingly surging 2nd half of the season running game, I'll definitely be disappointed if the Packers don't win. |

Scott Wrote - Yesterday @ 02:54:46 PM ESPN Expert Picks. And I thought I was being homerish picking the Packers this week. Just for the record, I was actually surprised that people didn't overwhelmingly pick the packers on here. And not just because we have a lot of packer fans. I actually think it's the better pick. I don't think the saints are that great. Then again, my picks have been pretty bad all year. I guess I didn't realize the Packers have the same record, probably because all season everyone on espn has been treating the packers like they have a couple more wins than they actually do. Then again, I still give the advantage to the Packers. On the other hand (and I don't mean this to be too jerky), I find it a bit funny that PackOne continually makes confident statements about the Packers like this: PackOne Wrote - Yesterday @ 04:58:54 PM Why wouldn't you pick the Pack? The Saints aren't all that great. This game is way over-hyped as possibly being competetive. Packers walk easily in this one 27-13. while sporting a just-over-.500 record in the picks department. Not that that means everything, but, it's a thought. |

Actually judging my picks is hardly an indicator of anything. I always pick the Pack no matter what, and I have been picking upsets in an effort to hopefully catch up this season after a poor start. Thanks for the 2606 zero legs. We will see who is laughing tomorrow night. Go Jags! |

| If I may interpret, he just was saying that the Packers may not be the far superior team in the match-up if you look at everything. It's not like they're the 2007 Patriots going against the 2008 Lions. |

Actually, I am saying they are the far superior team. They are facing one of the most porous defenses in the entire NFL ranking in the bottom eighth in every category. The Saints activated Mike Bell yesterday, inferring that they are preparing for a Bushless or semi-Bushless game. Shockey is not 100% and was perhaps there best mis-match of the contest. Add to the fire one of the top pass stopping units in the league and this game should be less than competetive. Also, if the Pack goes up a couple of scores early, expect the Saints to lose their fire. This is a must win for them or their season is essentially over. Go down early and the wind will quickly go out of their sails. |

| I look at more the strength of schedule and the injury report. I also look at combined points in losses which is 57 for the Saints and 22 for the Pack. This is why I have to stay away from the can during football. I don't want to get blackballed from what we all can agree is a superior team in all facets - Nutcan.com softball. |

Bengals 10 @ Steelers 27
Matt
Hey look, it's the Steelers again. The Bengals suck and O-Cin is riding the pine for this one (not that he has done much this year anyway). Even if I could get this game on TV, I probably wouldn't watch it. Pittsburgh 28 - Cincinnati 10.Jeremy
Is it just me, or are officials messing up a lot this year? It seems like there are a lot of 3-4 minute conferences where a call, in a no pressure situation, ends up being blown. Did the endless subtle rule changes the NFL makes annually finally reach critical mass? The NFL really has no recourse if the refs on the field don't know the rules?Sarah
Roethlisberger has sucked this year. TurriblyJon
To keep things going, this one should end in a tie that really isn't a tie.
