I like the Eagles over the “Jints”. Should be a great game.

Packers over the Patriots by 30 (satire)
Bears over the Vikings by 20 - Brett is on the sidelines, because he has a pain in his neck (should be he is a pain in the neck)

Given the point spreads, I would take Jax and GB. Their opponents should win outright, but Jax always seems to give Indy problems. That game may go to OT.

For my crazy as hell pick, I'll go with the Pack. GB has to fight this one out to stay close with Chicago. Flynn is not Rodgers, but he has had time to work with the first offense to make this game (IMO) closer than 15.

Due to the damage to the Metrodome, this one will be played at the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium, which has no roof. The weather is expected to be below freezing, so the advantage goes to the Bears, who are used to playing in such conditions at Soldier Field.

RJ's Pick: Chicago by 6

Didn't help the Bears at all last week.

The Bears play at Soldier Field for 2-3 hours at one time.
They play at Soldier Field 3-4 times when the weather CAN be cold.
They are going to have away games, in cold climates, about equal to what Minn. gets.
When not playing indoors in Minnesota, the players have to battle the elements, outside of football, as much if not more than Bear players.

I could see this being an advantage against a warm climate team, in a warm climate division. But the NFC North is Chicago, Minnesota, Green Bay and Detroit. Its not like they're playing an AFC South team who plays 6 of its games against division teams who are in warm weather.
