Once again last night showed that if you give Cutler time he looks like a top QB.If the o-line played like that every week and our D keeps healthy we could give the Packers a game in the playoffs.
You aren't making the playoffs though. It will be Detroit, #2 in the NFC East or #2 in the NFC South.
I agree with what WarwickUni says about our run in.
Vikes- It was close a few weeks back largely because we played too vanilla on Ponder in his first start. I don't expect that to happen again from Capers and imagine we'll win by 14-21 points. If we can get ahead (2 scores) early I don't think they have the ability to chase a game because they will lose the AP factor and have to rely on Ponder.
Bucs- The Bucs are an up and down team. An efficient performance by the defence should see us have enough to get the win.
@ Lions- The game I fear the most. Prime time thanksgiving game. For the first time in a long while they are a relevant team. They have a monstrous front 4 which could knock Rodgers about if our line doesn't play up to standard. If we can give Rodgers time he can burn their secondary. However they also have a very explosive offence with Stafford and IMO the best reciever in the league by a mile, Megatron. I think we get the W but it'll be tight unless we can get off early.
@ Giants- They are a very good team. A lot depends on what Giants/Eli turn up and whether or not our defence has improved slightly. I think we get it done though.
Raiders- Should be a demolition. Palmer is done (and has been for a few years).
@ Cheifs- Should be another demolition.
Bears- I think Rodgers is able to handle the bend and don't break D the Bears use far better than Favre ever was. He is patient and doesn't rush things, not to mention he is incredibly accurate and rarely makes mistakes. I think we win but it'll be close.
Lions- Pretty close but I think we see them off in Lambeau to go 16-0.
I'm sure it comes across as quite arrogant to predict us going 16-0 but A-God is playing on a level which is unparralled. He is on course to break pretty much all QB records. Provided we keep a solid line to protect him there is no reason why he should slow down, our offence has been rolling like this for pretty much a year now and shows no signs of slowing down.
Our defence has looked shaky all year, we are making turnovers but allowing far too many yards. It is a testament to how good Clay Matthews is that he is still making plays and disrupting the QB because he is our only pass rushing threat. If the D can step up a notch or two then I think we are in excellent shape.
If we are to lose any it will be @ Detroit, @ NY or against the Bears.
