ZS's prediction - we rest our starters for the entire second half. The Lions need this game. We don't. We want to be healthy for the Playoffs.

They win 28-17.

How do the Lions need this game? What's the importance of having the 5th spot over the 6th spot?

---

Not playing the Saints in their home in which they're 7-0, I guess.

---

Yup, and there's always a chance (although very slight) you could host a game whereas if you're the last seed, you cannot host a game.

Packers - Lions game is the early game. The Buccaneers at Falcons is the late game. Detroit is one game ahead but loses tiebreakers. They will have some motivation. Including getting the consecutive games lost in Wisconsin off their back.

The Packers may not be as mentally sharp. Flynn playing probably 1/3 of the game. The Packers 250 lb linebackers getting run over by 300 plus lbs of offensive linemen and not getting off the field.

Rodgers has to be sharp and score early and often. The game will lean on Ryan Grant a great deal as he will get screens and check downs.

It will be a close game.

Wrong!

The correct answer is the Lions will play all out so they don't have to play the Packers in Lambeau Field as the 6th seed if they were to beat the Saints.

What's wrong with you guys? Packers fans are the smartest football fans and I set you all up and you whiff?


Anyhow, I think with the BYE week the Packers should play all out with their healthy players. Yes most if not all players are dinged, and with that said; players on the mend like James Starks, Chad Clifton, etc should sit.

The Lions have lost to the Packers, Falcons, Saints, and 49'ers. They are not going to be that big a threat. They did win against the Cowboys (big yawn).

Winning against the Lions essentially means the Lions will not be returning to Green Bay before next Fall.

It has been 20 years since the Lions won on Wisconsin soil. If they could not win against the Packers on their biggest Turkey Day of the year they may not have enough to win now.

I see us resting alot of players and why risk Suh taking a cheap shot at AR? I am hoping the Lions to win this game to be honest with you. If the Lions win they get the winner of the NFC East (Giants I predict)which I feel they could win and then they would have to travel back to Green Bay. If they lose they will most likely go to the Saints and get beat which in turn the Falcons could very well come to Green Bay. I don't want the Falcons her because they can have a running game and have some passing. The running game is what scares me the most because it could be bad weather(it is coming we can't be spoiled that long lol) and a running game could be the difference. I'm sure I will be bashed for these comments but that is how I feel. Two teams I actually fear in Green Bay is New Orleans and Atlanta. San Fran don't scare me at all because they can stop the run on defense but we don't run so we should beat them. Detroit is like us with all the passing but Stafford is like the old GB Qb and he will give us a few chances at ints. And between Dallas and the Giants, they both will give us turnovers and we can score on their defenses. The Saints are the one team that can match our offense and they have a slight edge on special teams with Sproles.

So after saying all that MM will come out and play the starters all the way just to beat the Lions. We will keep undoing Suh's shoelaces and he will get suspended for the playoffs lol
