Week 12: Green Bay Packers (10-0) @ Detroit Lions (7-3)
A great Thanksgiving matchup that we've been looking forward to for awhile.

This should be the Packers 1st loss of the season. The Lions have been waiting for this game for a long time.
The key for the Packers is protection for Rodgers and the Packers defense against the Lions pass offense. That is where the game will be won or lost. |

Packers in a blowout.

If the offense does their dumb Mental Midget start as it seems every game then this is going to get out of hand early, despite the Defense being one of the best in the league (statistically anyway).
The Pack does have pass protection issues it seems so hopefully we can keep the pressure on and hit CM Pun....Aaron Rodgers. |

The Lions will have to look... to last year's game between the Pack and Lions, before Rodgers was injured. In that quarter and a half there might be the answer to muddling the Green Bay offense. The offense can look to any number of games of how to score points. They key is not turning it over, not taking dumb penalties when we should be off the field and no more special team gaffes; Cobb is a speedster and we can't allow another TD, not when they can score at will with Rodgers anyway. If we can be tied at half time with Rodgers throwing a ton of passes and our Dline wearing down their OL, I think we can pull it off. It won't be easy, and we'll have to have a heck of a gameplan and team effort, but I think we can win. And if we lose, at least we still have 7 wins. 7-4 v 6-5 is huge with our remaining schedule. |

O-Line is definitely going to have to bring it's A game for this one and the Defense is going to have to perform alot better than it did yesterday, especially in the Tackling Department, which was part of the problem yesterday. Luckily, they don't have a LeGarrette Blount type back on their roster so I'm not too concerned about Kevin Smith having his way with our D like Blount did.
Wouldn't expect to see Starks out there so it'll probably be Grant/Kuhn splitting the carries. |

The Packers need to play better than last week if they want to win this week. I think they will win because they know how to win games and play good when they need to, and they will need to do it this week. If the Packers make some mistakes then the Lions will make them pay.
