I would have preferred a Panthers rematch myself but for that to have happened the vikings would have had to have won. I will admit I did consider pulling for them just a bit (not only for the Panthers rematch before the Cardinals but it would have knocked the Seahawks out. ) but the lightning bolt that struck next to my chair and the extreme feelings of guilt quickly changed my mind.
If I had to pick a winner and back it up honestly I'd have to go with the Cardinals but since there are no consequences I'm going to say 31-30 Packers with a Favre to Jones TD in the last minute and a sack against Palmer by Neal on a 4th and 7 to seal it. Revenge for 2009.
I do think the Packers can win. If their offense plays like it did for most of the day today (like we always thought they could) and the defense can keep up the pressure I think we can win. It will be tough and I admit its not likely but I feel a lot better after seeing them play today than I did before.
Until next week I am going to enjoy the fact that the best possible outcome for a days worth of playoff games occurred today. The Packers won and the vikings lost. Actually I guess the best best would be the Packers not playing because they had a bye and the viking not playing because they didn't make it but since they both played this was the best it could be.
