Shouldn't everyone want the Patriots to continue their winning streak? Don't you want the Pats to go to the Super Bowl undefeated so that your team has the opportunity to beat them, end the streak, and get your team into the record book for two reasons?

I've watched this site periodically when I wasn't certain who was favored and it has consistantly been accurate with regard to the favorite, but was just as frequently inaccurate with the over/under.

NFL - Live Odds - Spreads & Totals - Yahoo! Sports

However, I don't agree this week where it favors the Bucks over the Gnats at home.
I pick the Gnats over the Bucks by the same margin.

HEY Life, I'm a Packer fan

To answer the original question as to why we may not want to play the Patriots, i think most don't want their team to get blown out. I mean i love the PAck, but we'd be huge underdogs and i doubt anyone in the NFC can beat the Patriots. Much rather have the PAck do very well and not end the season losing to a team that can put up points like that, it could be potentially embarassing.

Giants are a good road team. But Garcia has given them problems in the past because of his ability to scramble away from the defensive pressure . He beat the Giants last year in the playoffs for the Eagles and I think he did with the Niners also . That is probably why the Bucs are favored .

BMI....
I knew you couldn't be as bad as I thought you were. A fellow Packer fan, I just got chills...

I however, disagree with you. Are you surprised yet? Remember 2004 Red Sox 3 games under the big bad Yankees? They came back to win the next three to tie up the series. The rest is history. I know it's baseball but throughout history in every type of sport, there has been that once-in-a-lifetime moment. Whether it's hockey, baseball, basketball and even football teams have come out and took on Goliath and won.

I want that opportunity. I want our team to have that moment. Not just for us, the fans but for football fans all across this country. I want that moment for the small, blue collar town of Green Bay, Wisconsin. I want that moment for that team and their leader.

Why not us? Why not now?

I know in my heart we can do it because it's our time and our turn to take on Goliath and I can't wait!

CaptainRich agrees: I'd rather lose the best opponent while putting up a fight, than defeat the worst opponent only to put on a show...
tomder55 agrees: it really is a stretch to equate the Pack to David . I think they would be competitive against the Pats ;especially the way Ryan Grant ran at the end of the season.

See BMI, it's bigger than us. It's about the impossible doing the possible. This small town underdog team, in the freezing tundra gives hope to everybody that needs to believe in something bigger than themselves.

You thought i was that bad?

I would LOVE the Packers to win, honestly. This team of ours has already KILLED expectation, to beat the Pats would go down as one of the biggest victories in Green Bay history as well as the NFL. But this Pats team is a monster,our defence would never be able to withstand 4 quarters withthat offence, i hope, but i doubt.

Also, the Red Sox were a VERY good team, better than the 2007 edition of the Packers, even though we have produced a very improbable,fine season.

I don't know, BMI: you said: "this Pats team is a monster...." I watched the game with the Giants and they seem to have no running game. As for the Packers, do they have any defense, or is the Pack's best defense named Favre?

George, are you doubting that tha Pats are a monster team, did you seem them go 22 unanswered points and if they had Dillon back then they would have a good running game, but Maroney can run the ball when needed just give him a couple years, this is is second year in the NFL.

Comments on this post
tomder55 agrees: keep in mind who they were playing . The Giants are prone to both periods of inconsistency even while playing a good game. AND their defense alomost always gives up the big play. I will be impressed if the PATS beat the Colts again.

tomder i do agree with what you said, they did give up on big plays but they also went out and got after it even though they had nothing to play for and there for a while we were down by alot, i was suprised that we beat the colts, if there is any team that can beat us it will be the colts or the cowboys
