    Well, well, well....Packers favored by 3

    Pack favored by 3 over Arizona. Of course that's just basically the 3 point home advantage ....but still nice to be favored.

    Hopefully, the Cardinals will fold in the 4th quarters like they did against the Bears.

    OPF

    Finally. The first game I will be able to watch! Its going to be nice to rub it in the card's fan's faces when the Pack win.

    When the odds makers believe that two teams are even, they make the home team a 3 point favorite. Nothing to get too excited about. However, I do believe the Packers will win on Sunday.

    There's a saying about a wounded animal being dangerous. I'm not sure how it goes, but they're dangerous.

    I see the Cardinals as a wounded animal. They are going to come in and play balls to the wall for Green, who's getting serious heat...

    Somehow, they outplayed the best team in the league thus far. How, I'm not sure, but they CAN play at a high level. I certainly hope they don't on Sunday...

    I'm concerned about this one. We've got to shut Leinart and their big receivers down. I have little doubt we'll be able to shut their running game down...

    Typo? Edge has been having a tough time coming up with yards this year. The line just isn't opening holes for him. I have suffered through watching some of the games and the running game is painful to watch.

    No, I agree with your statement. In other words, I'm confident that we'll shut down their running game.

    The Pack favored? A home victory? Could it be true?

    The way Brett, DD, AG, and the D played last week they should have the points spread well covered.

    Optimism in Green Bay........it's been a long time in coming.

    Do the odds makers still give us home advantage?

    The way I was "taught", homefield is an automatic 3 point advantage. Which would mean in this case, they see the two teams as pretty much evenly matched.

    Right on G.B. The advantages of playing at home come from the opponent having to travel and the energy of the crowd. let's keep it loud, lambeau faithful, and bring us home a victory.
    Think I'll roll another number for the road.

    Bah..Packers and Cardinals are on equal footing??? No way. The Cardinals are quite a bit worse, and even the power rankings agree.

    With our secondary...and the threats in their passing game...I am not at all confident about this game. I think we have a much better chance of beating Buffalo the following week.

    We've also played like manure in Lambeau this year. We should be getting a 3 point advantage on the road...not at home.

    Hey there BEERMAN. What are the Bears gonna do without Brown? Guy was a very good safety. What can Brown do for you? Get game changing INTs - but not anymore. That's a big hole to fill in the secondary.
