The 7-4 Green Bay Packers host the 6-5 Baltimore Ravens Monday night, and both teams' seasons may already on the line. There is no doubt this is true for the Ravensùmark my words: there will not be a 9-7 team to make it in either conference. Losing this would mean the team must win every game the rest of the way, and they still have to play at Pittsburgh, a team ...

Looking at special teams and the defensive side of the ball, the division is much more balanced. The Vikings still hold the top spot in two of the four units, but the Packers have the single best defensive unit in the division to go with another top ranking to earn them the rnaking of No. 1 defense in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Lions defense is historically bad, as one can ...

A quick look at the NFC North offensive units explains why the Vikings have run away with the division thus far...the Vikings are best in three of the four units and second in the fourth. Green Bay, clearly the second best offense in the division, is first in the other unit, and second in two. Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions' struggles are obvious considering they are last in two categories and ...

On Thanksgiving morning, the Packers were away from their families in Detroit. By evening, they had many reasons to be thankful. Not only had they soundly beaten the hapless Lions again, but with the New York Giants loss to the Broncos, the team was guaranteed toáenter the lastámonth of this season as one of the six teams in the playoff picture. Here are the top fiveáthings I am thankful for as a ...

Green Bay's victory over the San Francisco 49ers put them in the playoffs...for now. The 6-4 record ties us with the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants, but by virtue of a tie-break edge over New York (and Philly's edge over us), we are the sixth seed as of this moment. But it came at an incredible cost, with both Aaron Kampman and Al Harris tearing their ACL with virtually ...

The Niners and Packers have been inextricably linked from the 2005 draft, when the Niners selected Alex Smith over Aaron Rodgers. Since then, the teams have picked back-to-back twice (A.J. Hawk before Vernon Davis in 2006 and B.J. Raji before Michael Crabtree in 2009). á I posed the following five questions to Samuel Lam, a 49ers writer for Examiner.com, Mining the Gold Rush on MVN.com, and Bleacher Report . You can go ...

I will now grade the defense and special teams. I would like to remind everyone of my first prediction before the start of the season: ôThe defense will finish the season in the top quarter of the league.ö Let me read some of the comments I got from doubters on both Sports Scribes and Bleacher Report when I made points about expecting great things from the Packers defense: "Packer's D ...

The Green Bay Packers bounced back from their shameful effort (or lack thereof) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an inspired performance against Dallas on Sunday to jump back into the playoff race. This was easily the most impressive game of the year for the Pack, as they played well from top-to-bottom. The fact that they did it against a division leaderùthe fourth they have played but first they have beatenùnullifies ...
