Packer/49er weather prediction getting close to all time coldest NFL game

The only advantage the packers have when it comes to the cold is that they practice outside when the temps drop to get used to playing in the cold, but when its -30 or -40 im pretty sure nobody has an advantage...everyone will be miserable. That being said I feel the packers will pull this one out 21-17.

 

Everyone will be miserable in them temps. I think the pack win but not because of the temps or because their use to playing in cold weather. No one is use to playing in -15 below temps. Low scoring game I bet.

Yep that is insanely cold for football. Nobody is used to that no matter what team you play for. I tell you what...players who try to act tough by not wearing sleeves are just being stupid. You should dress right for that type of weather.

 

I dont' think it makes a darn bit of difference as far as advantage or being "used to it". Everyone is going to be cold and playing the same conditions. It's not like you're immune to the elements because you are wearing a certain jersey.

I was watching something on t.v. today about below below zero temps. There is less than 2% difference in statistics across the board. Kicking, passing completion %, yards, etc..... It's the same game... just colder. The better football team will win. Not the better at being cold and playing team.

 

Obviously Rodgers is the X factor. However, the team that can run AND stop the run will win. That tells me SF by 10-13 pts.

 

I completely disagree. This is the way you get into the playoffs as a wildcard. Take it or leave it, unless you seed like hockey. win your division. This isn't the first time this has happened. If this was reversed, I would feel the same way I do now.

 

Win your division to make the playoffs? OK I'll buy that.

But the seeding should work exactly how it does for who gets the byes... by overall record. 4 Divisional Winners and two wild cards seeded 1-6 based on record alone. This is much more fair.

Not that it matters, GB will lose at home tomorrow anyway.

 

The NFC West had 3 teams that won more games than the division winner of the North
