Packers

I have spaced off one of my favorite contests. It is the normal prize for whomever gets the Packers record correct. Here are my predictions.
Week 1 vs New Orleans
It is a shootout to start the seasons. Packers win 38 - 21

Week 2 at Carolina
The defense records 7 sacks, 4 by Clay Matthews. And there is a defensive touchdown. It is ugly from the start. Packers win 42 - 3

Week 3 at Chicago
The dreams that Bears fans had of returning to the NFC Championship are crushed as Jay Cutler is again unable to finish the game. Finley has 3 touchdown catches. Packers win 28 - 10.

Week 4 vs Denver
This game is closer than anyone thought it would be, as the 0 - 3 Broncos start Tim Tebow who is not the answer. Rodgers has an off game with 3 interceptions. Packers win an ugly game 17-13.

Week 5 at Atlanta
Neither team brought their defense with them. Matt Ryan goes for 400 yards and 4 TDs. Packers lose in overtime 45 -42.

Week 6 vs St. Louis
What can I say, it is hard to pick against the Packers. They win despite giving up 150 yards and 1 TD to Steven Jackson. But Ryan Grant has the better day, 160 yards and 2 TDs. Jennings also hits pay dirt. Packer win 31 - 17.

Week 7 at Minnesota
You would think this was the Packers bye week. Rodgers throws touchdowns to 5 different receivers. Side note, this game is played at Gopher Stadium because the Humpy Dome again caves in under the 6 inches of snow Minneapolis gets in October. Vikings move to L.A. before the end of the season. Where was I, oh yeah, 5 touchdowns to 5 receivers, so what is that 35 points. Make it 42, Rodgers runs for one. Packers win 52 - 0.

Week 8 bye

Week 9 at San Diego
Rodgers and Matthews are seen in Mexico during the bye week with a group of Victoria Secret models. Their minds are still in Mexico. Packers lose 24 - 14.

Week 10 vs Minnesota
Minnesota suffers from jet lag from flying in from L.A. McNabb is chased all over the field, he has 3 turnovers on his own. Jennings has 10 catches, 4 for touchdowns. After the game, team officials request the NFL to allow them to forfeit the remainder of their games. Packers win 40- 3. (Very important side note: Brewers win game 4 of the world series and complete the sweep of the Yankees. The last time we see Fielder in a Brewers uniform)

Week 11 vs Tampa Bay
Green Bay get hit with 4 inches of November snow. But that doesn't phase the team from Florida. I can't believe my Buccaneers, they pull of a last second win. Packers lose 13- 10.

Week 12 at Detroit
The Thanksgiving game. The upstart Kitty Cats are still in the game at halftime. But Stafford's arm literally falls off during the game. With no quarterback they are doomed. Packers win 28 - 17.

Week 13 at New York Giants
This one ends up just like their trip to New York last year. Winning ugly. Packer win 9-0.

Week 14 vs Oakland
Oakland is just happy that they no longer are the worst team in their state (see Vikings moving to L.A.). But just because they are better than the Vikings doesn't mean they are better than the Packers. Starks runs wild for 180 and 2 touchdowns. Rodgers throws for 300 yards for the 8th straight game. Packers win 28 - 10.

Week 15 at Kansas City
It isn't that I am running out of material, it really happens. Starks runs wild for 180 and 2 touchdowns. Rodgers throws for 300 yards for the 8th straight game. Packers win 28 - 10.

Week 16 vs Chicago
After being demoted to 3rd string, the Bears call on Jay Cutler after the 1st and 2nd string quarterbacks are knocked out of the game. But he gets a bruise on his knee his first play. The Bears are forced to go to their emergency quarterback, Devin Hester and they run the wishbone. It doesn't help. Packers win 35 - 0.

Week 17 vs Detroit
All the starters sit and the Packers barely win 10-9.

That puts the Packers at 13-3 and a bye in the first round, home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Divisional Playoffs
Packers dismiss Atlanta with a game winning field with no time on the clock. 27-24.

NFC Championship
Packers get revenge for the loss against the Giants a couple years ago and win on a day when it actually wasn't that cold. Oh and I go to the game with Krum's dad. Packers win 21 - 6.

Super Bowl
It is a nail biter, but the Packers beat the Chargers in the Super Bowl 31 - 21.
