Nope.  Green Bay beat Detroit, lost to NYG, then beat Philly and Chic.

This isn't a sure thing, but I don't think the Bucs have much
offense lately.  The Packers do, and their defense has come
together.

I also pick the Pack in this one.  Of course, I thought they'd
beat Detroit in GB last year, and they didn't.  But the lions were
playing better last year, and Green Bay was weaker.

BTW:  "Detriot" is usually spelled "Detroit."

To have any slim of playoffs, GB has to win this one.  I think
they will.

Yeah.

Well, the first meeting could've gone either way.  And now I think
both teams are playing better defense, but the Vikes don't have a
QB.  The weak Viking passing game will keep it close, but I fear
GB will lose.

Green Bay's best hope is to get up early and force the Vikes to
pass.  Then if they can come up with a pass rush, they have a
chance.  Plus, Green Bay doesn't have Tomczak anymore!

So, I guess I'm picking Green Bay to go 3-2 in their remaining
games, and finish 8-8.  Probably not good enough for a wild card,
but not bad for a team with some real weaknesses, a lot of
inexperience, and a rookie head coach.

However, Green Bay could easily lose to LA, or perhaps beat
Minnesota.  So that puts them in the 7-9 to 9-7 range.  9-7 might
