One of the most intriguing games on the menu this week...Any other year, the pack would be the obvious side here as the line here wreaks of a trap...and if Detroit is as banged up as they appear to be this weekend...it may indeed be a trap....but as someone else has said...they have been banged up all year. Most Trap lines feature two teams where one team historically has been better than the team their facing and thus the enticing number is small for the public favourite...but detroit is not a public team...if they are to continue with the success they have had....the public may accept them next year (see the current Panthers) Green Bay is indeed the public team here...and bettors are not ready to accept that they are headed for the worse season in years...The house knows it...and will exploit the public's stubborness....which is why ...if the line should go up by game time...we will know who the house is shilling for.....
A lot of people tend to cling to history vs. what have you done lately. Lately, with best D lineman run stopper out, nothing. They have to blitz just to attempt to get pressure. They can be exposed on the ground, and through the air. Once the nontackling, out of position defense gives up their usual score they kick to Packers, which is now either forced to play catchup, or watch Green fumble again. How is that stud Ahman doing? 4 fumbles, 1 as in uno td. Pathetic. These Packers and the also lame Panthers, Pack's only win, are this years, Tampa and Oakland. Playoff teams falling hard. The result, some vets just going through the motions, not wrapping up, or giving it their all. And how much did the refs try to help the Pack at home? Nothing helped this uninspired bunch.
Maybe they are good against the spread. Nope, since mirage MNF against other dropoff loser, have no covers. Nice short week then off to Detroit, a place they consistently play poorly, even when winning the division. This line has yet to catch up to the teams real respective numbers. How many do or die games does this pack squad get? Real cheap chalk should pound another nail for this team of many deaths. It was a great run by Brett, one of my favorite QB's ever. But to see him run around and throw into coverage, it is tragic. So are 4 picks.
There are many things I know going into this game. Who is playing better. Which teams are ascending, descending. Where the line is, and possibly should be. It was Packer -1, before MNF debacle. But that was smoke as it was gone as fast as the Chargers +7. If you can lay less than 3, 1 1/2 proabaly best now, I would take a flier on Detroit outplaying the Pack, and winning again, ATS and outright. At least that is where my money will be. :heh:

Your right Breadman, i was thinking of a game that was 2 years ago i think when packers won 29-27 there was a long Td throw that gave the Pack a win. Packers were always unconsistant like that. Favre throws intos and eveyone knows that. I think the Pack will cover this week just because they have too.
