Beating Minnesota (-3.5)…
First off, the Vikings can be beaten. The 49ers had them on the ropes and allowed them to escape…
Minnesota’s play-calling is at this point, very predictable. Run the ball as much as possible and occasionally, have Brett throw a play-action pass. Makes perfect sense, when you have a powerful offensive line and the [...]

Summary: QB Rodgers was 13 for 23 for 269 yards, threw two touchdowns, and ran for another to lead the Packer over the stubborn Rams 36-17. RB Grant had 99 yards. FB Kuhn had two touchdowns. The Packers revamped 3-4 [...]

Line @ 8:50 A.M. CST

My four favorite choices in ascending order:
4. Pittsburgh (-3.5) @ Cincinnati…a lot of bad-mouthing Big Ben and the “lowly” Steelers this week…
3. Atlanta (+4.5) @ New England…there’s no way the “mighty” Patriots could ever lose two-in-a-row-Right?
2. Indianapolis @ Arizona (-2.5)…Two immobile QBs who can throw…who has the better defense? Special Teams? Intangibles, including the injury [...]
The news is bad today for the Packers on the injury front, as the Packers will miss Chad Clifton on the O-line. Adam Schefter just posted this on his Twitter account:
Bad news for Aaron Rodgers: The Packers will be without Chad Clifton until at least Oct. 18 when they come back from bye [...]
Since our offensive line has been “slammed” the past two weeks, let’s look at another area of concern.
That’s right, I’m talking about our starting linebackers. A.J. Hawk looks slow-he made two tackles last weekend, one on special teams. Nick Barnett made a grand total of three tackles- three. I kid you not.
I think it’s time [...]
The Surprising Opening Line is Green Bay (-6.5) @ St. Louis
As poorly as Green Bay’s offensive line has played, this is quite a surprise.
Other “interesting” lines:
1. Washington (-6.5) @ Detroit
You don’t think the Lions could actually win a game do you?
2. Atlanta @ New England (-4)
The Patriots look beatable, even at home.
3. Chicago Bears (-2) [...]
“The Green Bay Packers never lost a football game. They just ran out of time.”—Vince Lombardi.
A testament to Lombardi’s quote was Sunday’s matchup against the Bengals.
There are weekends where the normal, expected circumstances grace our television screens, such as Peyton Manning throwing for over 300 yards in a win, and then there are days that [...]
The Journal Sentinel reports the Packers are close to a deal with DB Matt Giordano:
Concerned they might have to go into the St. Louis game Sunday with just two healthy safeties, the Green Bay Packers worked out three defensive backs Tuesday and appear ready to sign one of them soon. The top choice appears to [...]
Try not to overreact to what happened to the Packers against the Bengals on Sunday. We all hope and really want to believe that the game will eventually be seen as an anomaly. However, it is hard to overlook all the things that went horribly wrong.
Think about what feeling you get from watching [...]
