I hereby declare Wytefang mentally unstable. I shall no longer talk to him. Please give him a new title.

Packers win it: 33-14

I have to go with Wytefang on this. Not because I want GB to lose, but I need more folks knocked out of my Survival Pool, and GB will be a popular pick this week.

It will also make for a much more interesting (even if GB pulls it out in the end) Thanksgiving game, unlike all the clunkers Detroit has been feeding us.

What's up with the same teams on Thanksgiving anyway? Silly tradition, the NFL should rotate it each year.

Ah, you're all crazy. Give nyys a new title too.

Really, Stafford is out with his shoulder, and even in the unlikely event he'll be playing he'll be hurting. I also thing their best WR is out with some sort of injury, but I could be wrong.

First off, their secondary really stinks. I watced a video on NFL.com showing how they handled the worst offense in the league (Browns). 37 points, so...yeah I don't think they'll even begin to handle Rodgers. The guy had an epic week last week what with only getting sacked 2 times (!) and no interceptions. Grant is picking up steam, too.

Sorry, I doubt there will be an upset today what with Stafford hurting, Grant getting better, and Rodgers on fire.

I think your team SHOULD win but you never know - that's why they play the games, right?

100% agree, I'm just hoping for one for selfish reasons.

Stafford's a tough kid. Taking a hit like that against Cleveland and then going back in with his arm hurting like all get out to throw the game winning touchdown.

I'm a fan of the Packers, but I do like Stafford for some reason. Kinda just rooting for him and not the team.

Hey, there is an outside shot at that matchup in the NFC championship game. And boy, would that one be crazy?

Perhaps it's Viking fan bias, but I'm also picking the Lions in the upset. I mean, if the Raiders can beat the Bengals, anything can happen, right? Even something crazy, like the Buccaneers beating the Packers. That would be crazy, all right.

And if the Packers lose and Vikings win this week, we have darn near clinched the division. The Packers would have to win out and the Vikings lose out. I'd feel pretty good with those odds.

[Wytefang]

So far, so good. Lions keeping it close and my prediction still seems feasible. GO LIONS!!!

[Swamper]

If the Packers lose this...

[ABOMINATION]

Alright, this looks more like the Packers we know and love.

Edit: Game over. No upset, and I loved C. Woodson and Rodgers! Happy Thanksgiving!

[Swamper]

It was a pretty clsoe game at the begging. That fumble on the kick return really screwed us up. But then we whupped some tail!

And I think that the Lions QB has some potential. Give it a couple of years, and I think he'll be able to make things happen.

Good game Packers, even if I had to listen to it on the radio.

Although the first quarter was ugly, the rest of the game was nice. And Charles Woodson is having a crazy season. Caused another three turnovers today.
