King,
First, off I had the Packer's last week, but that's not saying much because I have had them almost every week. Insert some comment about a stopped clock here.
As I said a few weeks ago (and was smacked down for), the Packers are better than their record. Somebody at Fox even did the research for the statistics I mentioned weeks ago. Apparently the Packers are the first 1-7 team ever to have scored more points than they had scored on them. And by last week they had moved up to 21 in the footballoutsiders.com efficiency rating. Not great, but they're out of the bottom third of the league.
Against the Falcons the Packers played about the same as they had the past month or so, but for once they got a decent share of the breaks. My guess is that the Packers will end up in second place in the weak NFC North, but considering their remaining schedules there is still an outside chance that they could catch the Bears and win the division on tie breakers. Yes, I am an unrepentant fan.
