I have it at DAL 34 GB 20. I will be happy if the Packers show some balls, play hard, look sharp and make a game of it, but I don't like the way this one is setting up. You know, for all the shit he took, this is the sort of game that Mike Sherman seemed to win. In 2000 and again in 2004 the team was at a junction point when the season seemed to be taking (5-7 in 2000; 1-4 in 2004) and both times Sherman's teams responded with strong stretches. I think McCarthy is at a similar moment of truth. I think the chances of ugliness are greater than the chances of seeing a crisp Packer performance. I have it at DAL 34 GB 20.

This is one game I'm glad I'm not attending in person. It could get ugly; both on the field and in the stands. Unfortunately, I’m afraid you’re right.

Late honorable mention goes to Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, who threw 5 INT's in leading his team to a 10-6 loss Thursday night in San Francisco. To borrow from that noted philosopher Denny Green, Cutler is who we thought he was. 11.)
