Humm, while I agree with your call about the Packs game, I have the Jets by 4.

Look at the two games they've had with each other this past season. 20-17 Bears, 10-3 Packers (while Aaron Rodgers was starting his hot streak). I don't see a 17 points blowout at all. Too much defense by the Bears.

Elementary. Pack is playing lights out right now, rookies, street signees and veterans, on both sides of the ball. Hester won't get a chance to field either a punt or a kickoff. When they kicked to Weems yesterday I was screaming "Why!!" "WHY!!" While I think Slocum, the special teams coach should be replaced, even he, can't be so stupid as to design any kickoff or punt that even contemplates a touch by Hester or Manning.

It seems like this strategy has to cost a team in some way, Bob, if it can even be pulled off. I'm sure every special teams coach in the league would love to have every punt go out of bounds after 40 yards in the air and have every kickoff go through the end zone. But that doesn't happen, obviously. So they end up giving the other team good field position anyway by punting it out of bounds (sometimes shanking it or only punting it 30 yards or so) and by kicking off short.

Jeepers, the Packers hoisting the Halas trophy in Chicago next Sunday evening will be bitter for Bears fans. Jay Cutler will throw several picks.

Packers 26
Staleys 17

Are you saying you're willing to make a bet that the Packers win by 18 or better?

Anyone in Pittsburgh going to the game? I'll be flying in Friday afternoon, and leaving Monday. Got my game tickets already.

Yep, perfect. Now there are no teams left that I care about in the least and hopefully I can do something productive instead the next few weekends.

Holy crap, if I could find some sucker to give me the Bears and 17 points, I'd be betting the limit.

Bears and Jets.

The Packers have had big games like this earlier, but I don't think they can repeat it. Same with Steelers. The Jets can beat them if they can beat the Pats like they did.

Packers are gonna handle the Bears pretty easily next week, cause as we saw against the Seahawks today they dont know how to play ALL 4 quarters. And i think they're just a better overall team. And as much as i hate the steelers i think they're gonna move on past the jets to the superbowl
