All I’ve heard since Thanksgiving is Christmas Music. Granted, it’s been the same 5 songs over and over again, but nonetheless it’s been all over the radio. When you hear rhyming words all the time, you get into the poem/song mood. So I’ve decided this week that instead my usual statistic filled review/preview column, I’m going to write the column in song/poem style (I guess it’s going to be poem style since nobody is going to sing it. If you’re hoping of seeing me sing this, you have a better chance of Santa Clause picking up a hooker in Vegas). And…away…we…go

Last week The Vikings and Packers faced off

And Adrian Peterson was quicker than a cough

He ran up and down and around the Packers D

But the Packers were able to attain victory

The D picked their spots, Burnett with two picks

And most of Christian Ponder’s passes were bricks

That fell heavily to the turf without being caught

And the fans with purple shirts on were distraught

Aaron Rodgers’ stats didn’t jump off the page

But his teammates helped him on this game’s stage

The two headed rushing attack of Starks and Green

Continued the balance offensive attack we’ve seen

Again, the defensive side was bend but don’t break

On offense, take advantage of the opponent’s mistakes

With the Bears loss, a gift to the Packers was given

The Packers are now number 1 in the division

This week is the second installment of Detroit vs. Green Bay

And there are always storylines that arise from this day

Possible free agent stars, Turkey Day classics

And Ndamukong Suh acting like he’s in the Park of Jurassic

With Woodson and Matthews still being hurt

This may mean that Megatron could possibly flirt

With 200 yards receiving, and trips to the end zone

Causing Packer Backers everywhere to groan

But it might be the same on the opposite side of the ball

Causing the Detroit defenders to slip and sprawl

In trying to defend the Packers wide outs

Getting beat repeatedly on all of their routes

The Packer line needs to keep Rodgers off his back

Hopefully to prevent anything from going crack

If Rodgers has time, he’ll play the role of a surgeon

Performing surgery on the Lions, making the score burgeon

With the Packers division wise, being the Driver’s seat

They absolutely need to go ahead and beat

The Rival Lions this Sunday Night

At Lambeau Field, which should have some wintery bite.

My Prediction, get your abacus prepared

Could very well be 800+ yards attained through the air

I think the Packers will come out on top

And avoid having to swap

Positions with the Bears in the division once again

Let the final stretch of the NFL regular season begin

Prediction

Green Bay Packers         45

Detroit Lions                   38
