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. Buccaneers: 5 Factors That Favor Green Bay on Sunday

When a 9-0 team like the Green Bay Packers welcomes a 4-5 club like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there are going to be a number of factors that favor the undefeated team at home. And really, Packers fans probably don’t need much for comfort as they head into Sunday. I’ve haven’t witnessed much nail-biting in the lead up to Week 11. However, if you are one of those fans who is sweating the Packers upcoming game against the Bucs, maybe the following five factors will calm your mind.

1. The Bucs really struggle on D

The Packers offense is playing well enough right now that matchups become more or less a moot point. But when scanning the Buccaneers’ defensive numbers in 2011, it’s hard to ignore the kind of mismatch we could see on Sunday. Through nine games, the Bucs currently rank No. 31 in total defense (401.2 yards/game), No. 28 in pass defense (263/game), No. 29 in rush defense (138.2/game) and No. 27 in points allowed (25.9/game). According to Pro Football Focus, the Bucs are the third-worst rated defense in the NFL. It’s bad across the board. Aaron Rodgers and Co. is always a threat to put a big number on the board, but it looks like a near certainty on Sunday against this Bucs defense.

2. End of a tough stretch

Packers vs. Buccaneers Week 11 Game Predictions from AllGreenBayPackers.com

GAME PREDICTIONS
Week 10: Green Bay Packers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Name Record To-Date This Week’s Pick Score Prediction
Kris Burke 9-0 Green Bay Packers 31-14
I am thinking blowout but my nerves are telling me otherwise. Finley has a big game against the Bucs LBs
, s
“Jersey” Al Bracco 9-0 Green Bay Packers 42-13
This will NOT be a repeat of two years ago, when the Packers suffered an embarrassing loss to the Bucs. Packers win total hits double digits – 10-0
Adam Czech 8-1 Green Bay Packers 31-17
I’d predict more of a blowout, but I think the Packers might be a little bored this Sunday.
Thomas Hobbes 9-0 Green Bay Packers 31-10
Well at least it can’t be a trap game with the Bucs.  I think this will also be a good indication of what the Packers are going to try to do in their remaining games, will they throw as efficiently as they do in warm weather?
Zach Kruse 7-2 Green Bay Packers 38-13
The Buccaneers defense can’t stop a nose bleed, Josh Freeman is second in the NFL in interceptions and Tampa Bay hasn’t played a game in the cold all season. The Packers make getting to 10-0 look easy.
Chad Toporski 9-0 Green Bay Packers 37-17
