Game Thread: New England Patriots @ Green Bay Packers

[Dude]

Everything points to an awesome game Sunday afternoon in the tundra. First time Brady and Rodgers face off. When they asked Belichick -who has nothing but praise for Aaron- what he thinks are the similarities between the two QBs he said: "they both wear number 12" heheheh, so he does have a sense of humor after all.

McCarthy expanded on Belichick´s comment...

They're both from California

Patriots 59-0 Hammer told me so. Team is so stacked that they will go 19-0 ( 2 losses don't count )

Definitely going to be a good game, but everyone already labeling it a Super Bowl preview is crazy. It's week 13 still, both teams could lose 3 of 4 if they lose this game. There's too much time to label it a Super Bowl preview. Anything can happen at any time in the NFL.

Maybe if it was week 15 or week 16 and both teams were still hot, but even then it'd be a stretch.

True how many times do we see a WC or low seed get in. Last year was the first time in ages that 2 no#1 seeds met in the SB

I like the Pats here. Much better defense than what GB will be rolling out. I expect the Pats run game to take over.

Looking forward to watching this one... Good games this weekend...

If Green Bays defense shows up at home then I expect a dog fight. If the defense from the Saints game shows up it's going to be one LONG DAY! I hope it's a good game and a Green Bay win. We will see ladies, we will see.

I normally troll and say it's a blow out but I'm not jinxing my team. Here's to a good game

Wow a non troll post from you, must be hung over or food coma from yesterday. I can't believe that its the first time Rodgers and Brady have met up. I think it will be the opposite of the Seattle/SF defense game and see 70 points on the boards. Hope like in that game the visiting team throttles the home, but doubt it with Rodgers. He has more talent in his crush grape soda than Kap. Should be a great game and both #12's are used to heaving it in the below freezing conditions so no edge there besides home cooking

...and if the Pack wins, we'll see plenty of it then.

This one's an absolute coin toss in my estimation. Whichever team shows up to play takes it. These always seem like they're a lock to be a last-team-with-the-ball type of game but a little sloppy play and either of these teams could roll all over the other.

 

[sonnyblack65]

Hate to sound like John Madden with the obvious but the key to Pats victory is for Revis and Browner/McCourty to shut dowm Jordy and Cobb and like SonnyCID mentioned with the heavy doses of Blount and Gray

Going to miss the first half of this game and probably some of the 3rd quarter...bummer

Agreed. I'm SO excited for this game I may not sleep the night before.

I have not been having luck on trying to accumulate Vcash trying to pick Packer wins against the points. So with luck like this I am changing strategy this week and will be putting all my Vcash on New England that should almost guarantee a Packer win.
