Ouch! Detroit by 6.5

[chewy-bacca]

Sounds like a moneymaker to me.

Not too surprising. Pack usually struggles at the Dome against the Lions. Look at recent history. Even the '03 team that should have went to the NFC Championship game got their lunch handed to them by the Lions that season. Favre has always struggled for the most part on the road against the Lions too.

I don't like this matchup for us at all. They have a stout front and held the Seahawks to nine points in the home opener. I see a low scoring snooze-fest.

I think that was one of there Turkey Day specials though. Basically there Super Bowl so they tend to actually play the game

Yes it was on Turkey Day but the Packers had a lot to play for that day too and got whipped. Also, Detroit isn't unbeatable in Thanksgiving games. They got killed last year. Yeah, it was Indy but the game wasn't even competitive. For some reason, Lions get really up for the Pack at home. Probably b/c they haven't won at Lambeau since '91.

BTW, I see 6.5 as the early line that will be bet up to 7 by game time. I don't see it going down. Oddsmakers see Detroit played Seattle to a stalemate in the home opener, only to lose on a last second FG.

Pack was favored last year but lost by 14.

I have a possible solution.... I need to stop picking the Packers to win in the confidence pool. This week I will pick Detroit and we'll see if we win. If so, then I will be forced to pick against the Packers all year long because of my superstitious ways... and yes, I do avoid stepping on cracks on the sidewalk as well

Hmm; I've picked Green Bay to lose each week.

Think I should pick them to win ? It is for money, ya know.

[Kiwon]

Forget the point spread....I predict the Pack will win this week in a close game.

Why, you may ask? No particular reason. Just a gut feeling.....

[run pMc]

I couldn't care less about the spread; I want a W for GB!

Beyond that, maybe the spread will motivate the players with an us vs. the world mentality and really come out fast and physical.

Yeah, maybe I'm being too optimistic there. This is a young team on the road, in a dome even. Not good odds. You never know which DET team will show up...they played SEA tough. I should think it would be easier for DET to "get up" for a game against last year's NFC champs (SEA) or division champs (CHI) than a team that went 4-12 last year.

Still, there are matchup problems for both sides in this game. Young teams, new coaching staffs...hmm...I'm expecting lots of mistakes, penalties, and something like a 17-13 game.

Line's up to 7 now.

Kitties win by atleast 17 !

You got nothin' better to bitch about than an abbreviation for "probably?" (Harv)

And no, we "prolly" will NOT lose. If you feel otherwise, please expend your energy on the deserving party - the beady-eyed GM, etc.

First of all....not to burst y'all's bubble, but what team you personally pick has no outcome on the game whatsoever.

Secondly, cursed is the man (or woman) who profits from the misfortune of his (her) own team. For shame is he who thinks he helps his team by picking against it. That is a violation of the number-one gambler's code - what the hell is wrong with you people??

[Terry]

Packers will prolly lose

I don't get prolly as an abbreviation for probably. It sounds silly, and it only saves two characters. Is it really that tough to type the entire word.

Sounds like HW was prolly a bit winy be4 hitin da sak
