In the final meeting between these two teams for the season, both look to finish up on a strong note. Packers' QB Brett Favre torched us last time (9/24) for 340 yards and 3 touchdowns as the Lions dropped a close game, 31-24. The Lions were amazingly favored to win that last game, but I don't think that's the case this time around. GB WR Donald Driver is back to his old Pro-Bowl form, hauling in 7 TD's to go with his 1100+ receiving yards. RB Ahman Green, who missed two games earlier in the year, is still on pace to crack the 1000-mark for the first time in two years. He's got 867 yards on the ground, with 5 scores while running and one receiving score (which he caught against Detroit in the first game).
The Lions are in shambles, in case you haven't heard. Head coach Rod Marinelli is taking alot of flak for "going for it" on 4th-and-goal last week, when a FG was much-needed to get the Lions back within one score. The rushing attack is useless, and it took yet another hit when we lost Kevin Jones for the rest of the year, and perhaps much longer. Back-up Arlen Harris is expected to try and fill those shoes, although he has had little success with his limited carries so far this season. Look for Favre to attack the secondary again, exposing the holes and mistakes that so often have undermined the Lion's aspirations. Without starting DT's Shaun Rogers and Shaun Cody, expect Ahman Green to be used heavily as well, especially if the weather is typical in Green Bay for this time of year.
I think the Lions will blow this game, which is the easiest to win out of the final three left. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised at an upset, which will cause the Lions to lose it's future franchise QB, and keep the team in Millen's Misery for another year.
