    The highlight game of the weekend. I think it's going to be one heck of a football game. I'm actually leaning towards the Packers to make Vick and company exit early. Like has been talked about they have some playmakers on the defensive side of the ball. I see Vick running for his life and making a couple costly turnovers. Also they haven't looked all that great the past couple weeks. Giants kicked the crap out of them for 3.5 quarters until they folded like a cheap lawn chair. And as much as I hate to say it (cause of Siman mainly) Aaron Rodgers is playing really well. Only thing I wonder about is the lack of running game going to hurt them. Interesting stat I heard today..... Packers haven't trailed by more than 7 points all season. I was surprised by that. Who ya got?

    p.s. I also can't stand Deshawn Jackson

    game decided in the 4th quarter with 5 mins to go... 7pt game... gonna be a close one, I want the pack, but I wouldn't place a bet on it... if GB can run at all they should win pretty easily... but without at least SOME runnning game, i just don't know...

    Packers beat them in Philly in week #1 and will beat them in a close one again in week #18. Lack of the running game is what will eventually kill the Packers this season but it won't be this week.

    They won week 1 with Kolb as the starting QB, Vick will be a whole new ballgame. Should be a good one though!!

    Actually the Packers are the one who knocked out Kolb. We played against Vick for most of the game. I think Kolb had the concussion late in the 1st quarter.

    Agreed Vick causes more problems. I also don't think Vick is fully healthy. Hopefully that is a wash.

    Vick is fine. Deep thigh bruise over 2 weeks he should be more than good to go.

    That's why I said started. ;) Vick will be fine for the game that's why they sat him out week #17. Personally (and I'm a fan of neither team) I think Eagles win a close one. I think between Vick playing the whole game and the Packers lack of a running game leads to the Eagles win.

    My money is on the Pack...

    Aaron Rodgers and Clay Mathews move them on to the ATL, where Ryan and the Falcons will send them home.

    You had me at hello...but what I really hope is the Seahawks upset the Saints, then they have to come to Atlanta and we punish them...but I feel the saints will run them out of town.

    With both Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory on IR for the Saints and it being in Seattle, the Seahawks might be able to squeeze out a W. I wouldn't bet on it though.

    Two injured teams.

    The match-up to watch will be the Packs BIG receivers vrs. Philly's mostly rookie secondary. That's where I think the game will be won.

    Reid and staff are proven playoff winners.. those Eagles will be ready.. rookies or not.. and its in Philadelphia.

    TOUGH call.. don't know what the line is.. but my guess is it should be pretty even.

    The funny thing is.. I think Philly is the only NFC team that can beat New England.. but I don't think this young team with many injuries can survive the whole playoff scenario.

    And.. if the Pack win I don't think they'll go far without a run game. Not in the playoffs anyway.

    I'm gonna take Philly by 3.. only because of the Packs lack of run.. and the game being in Philly under a superior coaching staff. Sorry Pack fans.. McCarthy is still unproven in the playoffs.

    Gonna be a good one. Can't wait to watch.
