The Green Bay Packers are facing playoff elimination today at frigid Lambeau Field, it likely won’t even be 10 degrees by kickoff, and they are facing a warm weather team in the Houston Texans. The Packers have everything in their favor today, so if they lose this game it will be devastating to the franchise. If head coach Mike McCarthy can’t get his team up for this something is wrong. While I do see the Packers winning, but we know this season anything is possible. The Packers have lost seven of their last ten games after a 2-0 start and most of the losses have been close and excruciatingly painful. I’m hoping the Packers can ease some of that pain with a big win today over Houston.
I think they do just that. Aaron Rodgers sounded like a guy looking forward to playing in the cold and that attitude should carry over to his offensive teammates at least. Look for the quick start the Packers need and fairly easy win – Packers 27, Texans 13.
