Saturday NFL (Erik Scheponik)

This Pack squad continues to be underrated, and we’ll back them here off of the bye, as Seattle has one win over a winning team all season (Tampa in Week 1).  They won’t have the advantage of their strong home field, and Matt Hasselback’s thumb remains an issue.  Green Bay’s strength is their pass defense, with perhaps the league’s best set of cover corners in Woodson and Harris.  Green Bay is better on both sides of the ball, will be ready to fire off of the bye week.  This team has wins over Washington, San Diego, and the Giants, and went toe-to-toe with Dallas in Dallas despite missing several key players due to injury.  Brett Favre is 36-6 SU, 24-13-5$ on this field from Game 13 on out including the playoffs in his career and of course bye week home favorites are long-term winning propisitions.  Sure, the tarriff is high, but now that Green Bay has found a running a game (127 ypg over last 8), they are clearly the better team here, and the average margin of victory in this round is 14 ppg.  Lean to the Pack Green Bay by 11

This game is a strong of opinion of mine, but did not quite make the cut for my football service.  However, both side and total of tonight’s Pats/Jaguars matchup did.  My NFL Game of the Year also goes tommorrow, and it is my strongest NFL play of the ‘07-‘08 season.  I was documented #1 in the nation in NFL playoff action last season (undefeated 4-0 + 5 units), and was a flukey 4th quarter scoring outburst (Seattle/Wash UNDER) away from a perfect 3-0 last weekend.   Love this time of year, and would love to have you on board!
