4. Vikings receivers are no where NEAR as good as the Packers receivers.

Debatable. I think their 1-3 vs our 1-3 are neck and neck or they're slightly better. Our 1-4 vs their 1-4 is slightly better. Plus, Shianco's good but I'd rather have Finley.

AP though is a better receiver than anyone we have.

I do agree that...

1. Our offensive line can still be a concern due to Clifton and Tauscher not being reliable for a whole season.
2. Linebacker injuries should be a concern, but we do have depth at linebacker. People want to see Bishop and Chillar get more time anyways.
3. The loss of Jolly WILL hurt our defensive front.
4. Special teams really are not-so-special....

1. That's why we got Baluga.
2. Agreed
3. Nah. Our offseason took care of Jolly's loss.
4. You can say it. They suck.

Heh.

Only gamble money you can afford to lose. I follow a strict budget. Me gambling on the Packers will probably mean something like no new clothing for me for the next 6 months. It will come out of another part of the budget.

8 to 1 odds when there are 4 elite teams in the NFC and we can reasonably say one of those 4 teams will choke miserably (Dallas). MN has a history of choking and you know what they say about history. So that leaves us and the Saints to represent the NFC.

I like those odds.

I'm pretty sure this year is the NFC's. The Pats started their decline in '08. The Jets are on the rise but aren't ready yet. The Colts should decline soon. The Chargers are on the decline. The Steelers are a wild card as anything can happen with them.

See I know myself.. and sports gambling and me don't mix..

If I would just keep myself in check and only bet on the strong inklings I get about games, teams or whatnot would be okay.. but I get greedy and then start taking shots at the long odds.. because I will myself to believe I could be right..

And it spirals from there... when I first got out of college and had a large bump in disposable income.. read before I got married and kids.. lol.. I let it get a little excessive.. never got myself in financial trouble but stressed it.. and then finally pulled back.

So now I avoid it and not tempt fate..

Did I every mention I have an addictive personality.. the trick is controlling it. ;)

There... more than you wanted to know about Pack93z.. lol.

Pack - OK, did not know that.

Well in that case, don't gamble then. If I do make a Vegas run though and we win it all, I'll pm for your address and send you some good Scotch. However, I'm getting a lot of contracting hours though so the run is not likely.

LOL.. like everything in my life.. I am comfortable with it.. and try to understand it..

And most importantly try like a dickens not to judge people upon my convictions, opinions or trials. But remind myself I fail often as well.

Now.. I do keep a very strong eye on Vegas.. they have much invested in being right more so than any talking head.

When the kids leave or my financial's change.. I will dabble again.. lol.

Pack - Well, to a point. They're more interested in making money than being right.

People are tend to be sheepish. Which explains bandwagoners.

Vegas adjusts the odds accordingly.

By the way, nothing wrong with failure. I respect people who try and fail. I don't respect people who make excuses for not even trying.

Plus, if you fail enough times, you'll eventually succeed.

But the nearer to kickoff, tipoff, faceoff or first pitch.. the odds kind of fall in line more so..

Yes they set the lines to draw in money.. but much research is invested in making sure they minimize the odds for them losing their shirts..

beast (2h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (10h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (14h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (16h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.
