What do Kennedy family quotes have to do with a prediction thread?
I think there is a lot of over confidence in this thread. Dallas is for real. They are a 4 tool team. They can run the ball, pass the ball, control the ball, and they have a great OL. Can you picture Murray flying out of the backfield on a wheel route covered by Hawk or Jones? Jason Witten scares me to death. And, I haven't even mentioned Dez Bryant. Plaxico Burress? Julio Jones? Nothing compared to Dez. Dez is a great route runner, gets open, and is a beast to bring down. I don't think we will be able to stop Dallas, especially when it counts.
Defensively, they can get some pressure as they showed last week. Now, add in the article praising the OL (which will go to their heads no doubt) with Rodgers hobbled and this isn't an ideal situation at all.
Too much Murray, too much Dez, too much Witten, not enough Rodgers, and I don't think it will be close.

They're near the bottom in sacks in the league, their middle is more open than ours and Romo will play like he did in the first half last week, not the second.
Look. All I'm saying is I got a feeling.
That said, I've got a very very poor track record when it comes to predicting Packers Playoff games.
Cap, you need to drink some IPA Dude! It really helps see reality a bit better.
Fk the Cowboys and Fk Dez! Bring them on! If we play our game, then the cowgals will get to have an early start to their off season activity of participating with Jerry Jone's glory holes. Cheers!
Cowboys are a lesser image of the Packers . . . at Lambeau.
Who is Vegas?
Vegas is a collection of people who try to set a line that entices an equal amount of money wagered on each side of it.
If the line moves one way or the other it's because they failed in their initial attempt at equality and need to cover their ass by attracting wagers to the other side.
The line isn't what Vegas thinks the outcome will be, its what they think the gambling public thinks it will be.
All well-known and true. And yet the final score mirrors the line more often than not.
In this case, Rodgers 100% at home makes a -7 line an attractive bet for the Packers. Rodgers not practicing day after day, and probably going to be restricted? Not so much.
It's all riding on the calf muscles of one man, which is exactly right. Packer fans know it, bettors know it, and the money ain't going that way for a good goddam reason.
Which is basically what Chilijon originally posted ("Vegas doesn't like AR's calf news...")

As I read this I was trying to understand what CPF95 missed. Was it a decimal point? Nope, never heard of a football score of 3.8. Must have been a + sign. Yah, that's it 3+8=11.

You watching the game with PDXPackFan and sharing some asbestos cocktails? May as well make your day complete if you're right.
Too much Murray, too much Dez, too much Witten, not enough Rodgers, and I don't think it will be close.

The great unknown.
What's also great is, the chip on AR's shoulder. Based on his radio comments, I honestly believe he is relishing this handicap as a new challenge to ace, yet-another "in-your-face" to the world.
Tell you what, I'm not betting against him.

31-20, Packers. Close until we score a touchdown with just over 2 minutes to go. Romo throws his 3rd pick to end it.
The key to beating Dallas is the early lead. Garret will adandon the run if he gets down early and that opens the door for Romo to do what he does best, turn it over.
Gotta come out hot and the Packers have done that all year at home. I see nothing from the Dallas D that they can change that pattern.
34 - 24 Packers.
I've stopped betting single football games ever since the replacement ref bull$hit in Seattle a couple years ago. Wayne Larivee talked about how stupid it is to bet football games too.
Not betting.....I'm just saying.
I think the Cowboys match up quite well with the Packers offensively. Their o-line can keep pressure off of Romo and open up lanes for Murray. However, without Doug Free, I think Peppers will be able to disrupt plays and I think the Packers underrated secondary will blanket the Cowboys DB's. I think the Packers will absolutely annihilate the Cowboys weak-ass defense.
I'm supposed to sit here and believe the Cowboys are for real because they eeked past the Lions at home and won one of the worst divisions in all of football? pff.
**** the Cowboys. **** Jerry Jones. and **** Texas.
34-21 Packers.
word. amen.
34-20 Packers
So you have a dealer named Aaron? How cool is that.
You're a bad liar, Hoss.
The funny part is, AR really and actually does seem relaxed. Meanwhile, we're all ****ting tacks. Go figure.
Great players are like that I guess.
A fully loaded SF barely got by GB last year in Lambeau 23-20. Barely.....Barely. And a **** Dallas team is going to get over against a team that's better and healthy? It's not happening..
So you have a dealer named Aaron? How cool is that.
Aaron is my dealer too!
As long as it wasn't Aaron Hernandez.quote:So you have a dealer named Aaron? How cool is that.
Packers 27 Dallas 17 if Jerry Jones doesnt bring his own referees to this game like he did the Lions game,Dallas 37 Packers 10 if he does.
"We don't lose at Lambeau!" "WE DON'T LOSE AT LAMBEAU!!!"
Except for their last two and 5 of the past 8.
well now...you don't have to be such a Debbie-Downer about it.
They should win tomorrow, but that's definitely a stat that has trended in the wrong direction over the past decade. I liked it much better when they "have never lost a playoff game at home".
Different year, different team! Heel, I do not even think drinking girly beers would shake my confidence for tomorrow. Of course, I ain't drinin' girly beers.
Leinie's Cranberry-Wheat Beer!!!! Yes! A manly Beer!
manly beer does not contain fruit.
that is all.
