I think they will get beat by the Lions but win the rest.

6. I'm terribly nervous of the Lions.....and the Packers have to play |
|
them twice. I'm not saying what they'll be at the end of the season.....Just don't want A-12 to get hurt. GO PACKERS GO. I hate Thanksgiving games......can't eat if they lose, can't eat if they win, day's shot for me. Dang.

2. I've all but conceded 16-0 once they got past the Falcons |
|
Down 14-0 in that game and 14-6 at halftime. Road prime time game against a motivated team with a pass rush.
As a '72 Dolphins season ticket holder I pay attention from the opening week. By far the most significant chance toward greater opportunity to run the table was the shift from 5 team divisions to 4. Instead of stretches of 4-6 consecutive division games you seldom have more than 2 in a row. It's literally that big of a switch. I had dozens of situational angles for betting purposes that were all but wiped out. And in the old days not only were those division strings difficult to sweep, but the following game was a typical letdown. Nowadays it's like a holiday, coasting from one non-division foe to another.
There's no doubt there will be several struggles in the remaining 6 games as Green Bay naturally loses intensity. You could see evidence of that today. But I don't see Rodgers stopped when it means something, not with these rules and how they are applied. Unless he's battered or sits out, I think they run the table. Obviously I hope not...
At least I'm making money on this team. The spreads make little sense. Last week you had a stiff rookie quarterback on the road -- Christian Ponder -- and the line was only Green Bay -13. This week a desperate and embarrassed Tampa Bay team with a capable young quarterback was getting +14. If any team had an outside shot of an upset I thought it was the Buccs, particularly after they were routed last week.
BTW, Miami fans are on the verge of losing something else that carries a long rooting interest. The Canes have an amazing streak of 9 or 10 years with at least one player scoring an NFL touchdown every week. It looks to be gone, unless a defensive player pulls off a miracle in the final two games. The skill position players were shut out and several key players were on bye weeks. It looked like this week was the biggest hurdle.

3. I went with 14-2, but I wouldn't be surprised if they go 13-3 or 15-1. |
|
They're skating by with a crap D, and it's bound to hurt at some point.

5. And their O-Line ain't so hot, either. |
|
The Vikings D-Line exposed a lot of cracks in the O-line and I would imagine the Lions were paying attention.

4. They have to keep playing until they clinch the no 1 seed. |
|
They have a really good chance to go undefeated because the Niners are pushing them from behind. If San Fran drops one or two they can relax. I'm saying 15-1 and they'll lose to the Chiefs. Wait. What? Yes.
