Packers - Lions 2017, A Game For All The Marbles!

All NFL eyes are on the Packers-Lions game this Sunday!  It is the ONLY big game!  The AFC teams are picked, just joking for playoff positions.  The AFC teams are:

New England
Oakland
Pittsburgh
Houston
Kansas City
Miami

The NFC is another story:

Dallas - they are in and the top seed
Atlanta - they are in and clinched their division
Seattle - they are in and clinched their division
New York Giants -they are a wildcard

And Washington could get in.  And of course, Packers & Lions!  Winner is in!  Loser??????

Time to look at the match ups!

Quarterback - Rodgers vs Stafford
Great match up!  Historically - Rodgers!  Having a good year with something to prove?  Stafford!
Of course, my vote - Packers-Rodgers!!!!!

Running Backs - Both teams have had injuries & have NO clear cut stud!  As of now"
Packers - Montgomery, Michael, & Starks
Lions - Roddick, Washington, Zenner
This is a BIG question mark!!!  Both still have injuries, Packers & Starks, Lions & Riddick!  Both
have had unknowns that have looked good, Packer & Montgomery & Lions & Zenner.
My vote - EVEN

Wide Receivers - This to me is the key to the game!
Packers - Nelson, Adams, Cobb, Allison, Janis, & Davis
Lions - Tate, Jones, Boldin, Roberts, Jones
Both teams are dangerous.  The Lions, Tate just keeps making plays.  Boldin is the old Vet!  Marvin Jones makes plays.  The Packers?  We all know Jordy is back!  Adams?  We want the good one to show up!  Cobb, injuries have slowed him up.  The new weapon may be Allison, sorry Janis fans!
The Packer Buddy Vote goes to - Packers!

Tight End?  Another key!
Lions - Ebron, Harbor & Mulligan
Packers - Cook & Rodgers
The Lions Ebron I think is the key to the Lions offense!  Cook & Rodgers, just keep the middle
of the field honest!
My vote - EVEN!

Offensive line?  Will not bother with names.  Both teams have been good, but I give the edge to
the..........................  Packers!!!

So far - Packers 3 - Lions 0 - Even 2
