Detroit (2-11) at Green Bay (5-8) @ 1:00 p.m.
The Lions are a sad little team. They are 0-6 on the road. Their offense is well below the league average in points/game, and their defense has given up more points than all but three other teams. They have lost five in a row. Their own fans show up at home games largely just to chant denunciations of the team president, Matt Millen. They havent made the playoffs, or even had a winning season, since Clinton was in office. Personally, I blame this all on Bush.
The Packers are 1-5 at Lambert Field this season (yet are bizarrely 4-3 on the road). They beat the 49ers last week, 30-19. Their final three games are all against divisional opponents. Brett Favre is One with the Undead. I got nothing else. (You know who Im picking anyway )

All your field are belong to us!
In the jungle of course (The Sheepish Lion, Lambert! - Cartoon).
Hey where'd the live thread go? The Niners-Seakhawks game is suffering from the kind of weather that makes football great.
LOL!!!
For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Seattle built a football stadium with a big hole in the roof! Hel-lo! Seattle? Rain?
Did you know that they thought about not playing or delaying the game because of drainage "bubbles" on the field?
Seattle's defense played the best I remember seeing in awhile, but Smith had a great second half.
Because real football is played in the elements. Dome teams are sissies. I was kind of disappointed the weather went away, I love rain games. Those bubbles looked interesting.
The defense played well in the first half, but I think they got worn out by the complete lack of offense. I predicted in March that 9-7 would be good enough to win the NFC West, the Seahawks seem hell bent on proving me literally right.
