Since this poll closes on 12-01-14 @ 11:58 AM, I am gonna wait til after the game to summit my final answer, so that I can brag about how much of a genius I am.
In the main time, since I am an objective homer, 45-27 - Packers
Patriots by 4.
The Packers (excepting the 2010 playoff streak) always seem to overhype for big games and put out a semi-dud (SF playoffs, Seattle opening game, Saints this year, etc).
I see our offense struggling more to score than the Patriots. I can't see our run game producing big plays, because we don't play to Lacy's strengths. I can't see our defense getting pressure on Brady AND containing Gronk, because we have some marginal players in our front seven. Our recent history against the league's best teams has been poor. McCarthy is routinely outcoached in these matchups...and he will be again. I'll be happy to be wrong...but I don't see this as a win. Patriots by 10.
If you listen to Pats fans we have no chance and we're gonna get blown out of the stadium. I don't even know why we should even bother...
My head says the Patriots squeeze by with a 3 point lead, and this loss is the last Packer loss of the year (circa 2010). My heart says the Packers establish themselves as SB favorites.
Heart wins. 30-28 Packers take it
Big games not in primetime are much kinder to the Packers...
Packers 37-28.
I voted for Patriots, but only after I checked to see I wasn't the only one.
It's a toss-up game. The Packers' weak defensive effort last week has me spooked. Packers will win if they score 42 points or more.
Packers 25-19. Lots of running due to heavy fog.
I didn't vote - elections don't matter.
Brady will be so sore from shoveling snow, he won't be able to move Sunday. He's about that age where you get sore and you can't figure to how it happened. Also, his wife will probably have him scrubbing floors in preparation for the Thanksgiving guests. Rodgers will just have to be careful that he's not too bloated from all those Grape Nehis.
63-0 Packers
Pack by 4. 31-27
I'm going to go along with the story that the Packers are just unstoppable at home until proven otherwise... 34-24 in a chuckler
Wist is spot on:
Pats - 78
Pack- 12
Yes, that is exactly correct... although not showing your work is likely to confuse the peasants - so allow me :)
78-12=66
78-66=12
12+6-8=10 (which gives us the margin of victory for the Pats)
Now, that being the case, we return to the math :)
Margin of victory = 10, so it follows...
78+66=144/pi=45.8
round up to 46 - (margin of victory/2)= 41 (this gives us our upper number)
41-(margin of victory)=31 (this gives us our score)
Pats 41 Pack 31
There, mathmatical proof ;)

NE squeaks by GB, 5-2
I'm in the Pro Pickem and played my fair share of time at a poker table.
No decent poker player shows his hand unless necessary before or after the hand is completely played unless entirely necessary. I'm not sure as I begin this post if I'll let that slide.
Let's see:
The NE Pats have won by an average of 24 points in their last four games; all wins and three Vs Top Tier Teams (Denver, Indy and Detroit).
Since their Bye Week the Green Bay Packers are 3-0 and also won by an average of 24 points margin of victory. Those wins included one over a Top tier team at home or the Philadelphia Eagles.
I see that the Packers are 3 point favourites which only means to me that the public will bet NE; and taking NE on the road and three points Vs the Packers is a decent bet. Let me check that. Yes 56% of the public is picking the Pats plus three (3) points.
I see there are members of this board that actually get upset if any member analyzes a judgement against the Green Bay Packers. Holy shit ! It is as it is and that will be when it's over.
I'm not sure what the result of this matchup will be today. If there's one member of this board who is otherwise. Please get back to me with your system for predictions. Why? Because your special.
I'll be pleased to offer you my E-mail.
