Dallas matched up against two playoff teams. If they win both games, they’ll be going in hot. It’s gonna be a tough road. I hope we don’t end up NFCC game losers yet again.

Dallas at Philly the last week will be interesting. Eagles have the NFL's #1 rushing offense, and Cowboys run defense is just average. Eagles will possibly need to win that game to make the playoffs. Philadelphia will be rocking.

Dallas had a very tough remaining schedule. Both of those teams will be highly motivated. However, Dallas is playing very well right now. I don't expect the Packers to have any real issue with Detroit, so it all comes down to beating the Vikings.

When we had Baltimore, Cleveland, Minnesota, Detroit I thought the games got progressively easier. We’re in the easy part of our schedule. I’m gonna be massively disappointed if we somehow lose to the Vikings. But it’s possible. The NFL is hard to predict or everyone betting would be making money.

My feelings of Destiny have taken a beating vrs chicago, Baltimore and Cleveland.

[King Friday]

The Vikings match up well with our team. They beat us when our defense was still kind of OK. Now our defense is Swiss cheese. This is certainly a game the Packers could lose. The Vikings are not out of playoff contention. They need this win more than the Packers do.

3 weeks in a row I've cheered a winner in this thread. Let's make it 4.

Go Cards Go.
