The Steelers run the ball through the Packers' inept defense. The Steelers will control field position and time of possession.

 

Flynn has to beat the Steelers defense early to get a lead. If the Packers can get a lead, they can use the running game to hold on to the lead.

 

If the Packers fall behind early, it will be difficult for them to come back with Flynn at the helm. I can't see the Packers' defense holding the Steelers to many 3 and outs.

 

Toss up.

By the looks of the weather report, likely to be a sloppy, mudder type of game.

 

Whoever wins the turnover battle probably wins. Comes down to two rookie running backs. Which one plays better in the snow and does not fumble. And, a short passing game with screens, quick slants and short passes to the back in the middle and WR's on the edge.

 

Gonna be lots of dirty, mud caked uniforms, cept Raji who will be spotless and hardly work up a sweat (JK).

 

I guess I'll go with home field advantage and the Pack squeeking out another close win.

Both the DL and Matthews were called out by the guys on NFC Playbook for their poor play last week, it was something to see the lack of effort by the DL guys seemingly stayed glued to their blockers. the Steelers OL is horrible, so the Pack should rip them up, especially up the middle with that off-the-street center.

 

Wish Capers would run more twists with Matthews on the blitz up the center, He's far faster than Jones and Hawk....

In games like this with poor weather conditions it always seems like special teams have a huge impact in the outcome of the game.   Antonio Brown is an outstanding returner and at times the Packers have struggled.   The other factor is that on a slow track the pass rush is usually negated somewhat so the cover guys have to play well. 

You would think Pittsburgh would run the ball more than they do but Big Ben loves to wing it all over the place.  Don't think the weather will change that much.

I really do not like this matchup for GB at all because the Steelers will not be freaked out by the snow or wind and they have nothing to play for which can make them dangerous.  They have also been scoring a lot of points in the second half of the season.

The Packers need to get ahead early and lean on the ground game to control the TOP and the elements. 

This ones a toss up and I hope GB is the team that finishes in the left hand column
