Packers vs. Vikings Week 13 Game Predictions from AllGBP.COM (with Podcast)

GAME PREDICTIONS
Week 13: Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings
Name Record To-Date This Week’s Pick Score Prediction
Kris Burke 7-4 Green Bay Packers 27-20
The Packers made some very alarming comments this week when they mentioned that they thought their hearts weren’t into the game. Wait, what? You’re professionals and your heart was not into a game against the team that ended your title defense last year?! COME ON! Don’t expect the same this week, however. Rodgers and McCarthy won’t allow it. Expect the same kind of angry performance you saw against the Texans, but the Vikings defense will take advantage of a beaten up Packers offensive line to make the game close.
“Jersey” Al Bracco 6-5 Green Bay Packers 31-17
Having witnessed the horrid performance last week in person, I can’t help but believe we will see a different Packers team this week. They will game plan for Peterson like they did for Arian Foster. We can only hope they play half as hard as they did that game. That should be all it takes.
Adam Czech 8-3 Green Bay Packers 31-17
It looks like another week without Clay Matthews and now C.J. Wilson is hurt. Not good if you hope to contain Adrian Peterson. But did you hear the good news? Aaron Rodgers’ favorite cover-2 fighting device — the Greg Jennings — is out of the repair shop and ready to start killing defensive backs again. If Percy Harvin plays, and my gut tells me he will, the Queens will put up a good fight. But it won’t be enough to slow down Rodgers and a refurbished Jennings.

Packers vs. Giants Week 12 Game Predictions from AllGreenBayPackers.com (with Podcast)

GAME PREDICTIONS
Week 12: Green Bay Packers vs. New York Giants
Name Record To-Date This Week’s Pick Score Prediction
Kris Burke 7-3 Green Bay Packers 21-20
The Packers are on a five game winning streak but are wounded.  The Giants are not playing their best ball right now.  I think the game is close for an entire 60 minutes and call me crazy, but I think Mason Crosby (yes THAT Crosby) wins the game on a last second field goal. A Thanksgiving weekend miracle.
“Jersey” Al Bracco 6-4 Green Bay Packers 24-21
My gut is telling me to pick the Giants in this game. They specialize in struggling and then turning it around. Tom Coughlin with more time to prepare (bye week) is always dangerous. But I think the Packers will do just enough to win this game, hopefully without needing Mason Crosby’s help.
Adam Czech 7-3 New York Giants 30-22
The Packers have scrapped their way to a 7-3 record and the lead in the NFC North. It’s going to take more than scrappiness to beat the Giants, and with all the injuries and struggles on the offensive line, I don’t see the Packers winning. It’s been about a month since Aaron Rodgers went nuts and won a game by himself, so  I suppose that could always happen. But I’m sticking with the Giants.

Packers vs. Lions Week 11 Game Predictions from AllGreenBayPackers.com (with Podcast)

GAME PREDICTIONS
Week 11: Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions
Name Record To-Date This Week’s Pick Score Prediction
Kris Burke 6-3 Green Bay Packers 28-20
The defense is battered, but the Packers are catching the Lions as Detroit looks to be headed towards a potential tailspin.  Calvin Johnson may have had big numbers last week, but the passing game took time to come to life last week. The Packers hold up against the Lions and Rodgers keeps it rolling with 3 TD passes.
“Jersey” Al Bracco 5-4 Green Bay Packers 31-27
Only the Packers can have a bye week and lose three more starters, two for the season. However, Mike McCarthy’s Packers teams are 5-1 coming off the bye week and I have no doubt they will be well-prepared for the desperate, but just not good enough Lions. It will be a high-scoring affair in the dome and the Packers will prevail.
Adam Czech 6-3 Green Bay Packers 31-21
The Lions are horrible. The Packers are injured. Injured will beat horrible on Sunday. The Lions’ offense will get hot for a stretch, but it won’t be enough to outscore Aaron Rodgers. I’m looking forward to Rodgers going after a Lions secondary that now includes Pat Lee.
Marques Eversoll 6-3 Green Bay Packers 31-24

Packers vs. Cardinals Week 9 Game Predictions from AllGreenBayPackers.com

GAME PREDICTIONS
Week 9: Green Bay Packers vs. Arizona Cardinals
Name Record To-Date This Week’s Pick Score Prediction
Kris Burke 5-3 Green Bay Packers 99-3
(Kris’ fever has apparently made him delirious to predict such a blowout…)
“Jersey” Al Bracco 4-4 Green Bay Packers 27-10
I have to think the Packers players are fairly mad at themselves. For Clay Matthews to come out and question the effort and for McCarthy to have to remind everyone that they won a game last week, I think the annoyance level is fairly high. I’m hoping for an angry effort from the Packers and a more comfortable win than last week.
Adam Czech 5-3 Green Bay Packers 26-17
I’m off the deer stand and ready to watch the Packers. If the Packers O-line holds up, the Packers will be 6-3. If the line struggles, and Rodgers holds the ball and gets jittery, who knows what might happen.
Marques Eversoll 5-3 Green Bay Packers 24-13
Arizona’s defense will keep the Packers in check–especially if Jordy Nelson is unable to play for a second straight week. Fortunately for the Packers, the Cardinals are down to their third-string running back and starting John Skelton at quarterback. Clay Matthews should have a big day against a leaky Arizona offensive line. Packers win, but it may not be pretty.

Packers vs. Jaguars Week 8 Game Predictions from AllGreenBayPackers.com

GAME PREDICTIONS
Week 8: Green Bay Packers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Name Record To-Date This Week’s Pick Score Prediction
Kris Burke 4-3 Green Bay Packers 31-21
Not going with the blowout here.  The bitter taste of the Colts game is still lingering.  Until I see the Packers bury an opponent and have Dom Capers standing on the gas for 60 minutes, caution is the word.
“Jersey” Al Bracco 3-4 Green Bay Packers 35-6
If in any way, the Packers don’t win this game by at least 3 touchdowns, then either something is very wrong or they just got bored.
Adam Czech 4-3 Green Bay Packers 30-13
This is going to be one of those games that’s never really close, but isn’t necessarily a blowout, either. At no point will we feel like the Jaguars will win, but every now and then we might grumble that the game shouldn’t be as close as it is. The Jags d-line is scrappy and will probably frustrate the Packers running game a bit, but ultimately, that won’t matter much once Aaron Rodgers cuts loose.
Marques Eversoll 4-3 Green Bay Packers 34-13
Attention, fans of running the football: this is the week. I think Alex Green will become the Packers’ first 100-yard rusher since October 2010. Aaron Rodgers will build a comfortable halftime lead, allowing the run game to take advantage of a weak Jacksonville run defense. The Jags are without Maurice Jones-Drew, so the Packers win this one easily.

Packers vs. Rams Week 7 Game Predictions from AllGreenBayPackers.com

GAME PREDICTIONS
Week 7: Green Bay Packers vs. St. Louis Rams
Name Record To-Date This Week’s Pick Score Prediction
Kris Burke 3-3 Green Bay Packers 34-17
The Pack is for sure back as they finally beat a team that they’re supposed to beat. Rodgers keeps rolling and the defense eats up a weak Rams offensive line.
“Jersey” Al Bracco 2-4 Green Bay Packers 31-13
the Rams can’t score, the Packers defense is a pass rush threat once more and Aaron Rodgers has found his mojo. Not a good recipe for St. Louis.
Adam Czech 3-3 Green Bay Packers 27-17
The Rams have talented and physical CBs and an elite pass rusher. It’s a formula that gives the Packers fits. But the Packers have too many weapons to be shut down for an entire game. Sunday won’t be a cakewalk, but it’ll be a victory.
Marques Eversoll 3-3 Green Bay Packers 28-13
The Rams have a good defense, with a capable pass rush and physical corners on the perimeter. Cortland Finnegan makes a living by getting inside the head of wide receivers, but I think Jordy Nelson & Co. will keep their cool. Call me crazy, but I think Jermichael Finley has a big week for the Pack. They move to 4-3.
Thomas Hobbes 3-3 Green Bay Packers 35-16

Packers vs. Texans Week 6 Game Predictions from AllGreenBayPackers.com

GAME PREDICTIONS
Week 6: Green Bay Packers vs. Houston Texans
Name Record To-Date This Week’s Pick Score Prediction
Kris Burke 2-3 Green Bay Packers 37-34(OT)
Mike McCarthy does his best work when his team’s back is against the wall.  Late 2010 with all the injuries piling up seems similar to the situation the Packers currently find themselves in. If the Packers have any pride left, this is the game they make a stand.  I refuse to believe McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers will not go down without a fight.
“Jersey” Al Bracco 2-3 Houston Texans 23-21
This is a desperate attempt to jinx the Texans. I haven’t picked against the Packers since the 2010 season, and while an upset here of the favored Texans would not surprise me at all, I figure the Packers need some help. So, I’m going with the Texans in hope my pick goes horribly wrong. Confused? Me too…
Adam Czech 3-2 Houston Texans 28-20
I want to believe the Packers will win. I really do. But I don’t. Randall Cobb will be the key to this game. If he gets a return TD and goes off on a somewhat shaky Texans secondary, you never know……
Marques Eversoll 2-3 Green Bay Packers 24-23
