Power Rankings

  1. Lambeau’s Legends (Up 4) – They’ve taken the top spot this week in our power rankings, but it may not be for long. Their boom or bust performances are about as consistent as the Chicago Bears right now, so they’ll have to show some more consistency if they want to stay number one.

Week 4: Around the NFC North

Christian Ponder

QB Christian Ponder has led the surprising Vikings to a 2-1 record

It’s hard to believe we’re already talking about week 4 and the NFL season will be a quarter done after this coming Monday Night game.  It’s a busy week in the NFC North with some very good matchups to look forward to.

For the Green Bay Packers, week 4 is a very welcome sight.  Need I even explain the who, what, when, where and why?  They are eager to get that putrid taste out of their mouths after a very controversial loss on the final play in Monday Night’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.  They return home and host the 0-3 New Orleans Saints led by QB Drew Brees.

The Minnesota Vikings ride high into Detroit to face the Lions after having knocked off the previously undefeated and heavily favored San Francisco 49ers in Minnesota this past weekend.  It is the first divisional game for both the Vikes and Lions this season.  The Lions come into this game licking the wounds of a brutal overtime loss at Tennessee after scoring twice in the final :18 seconds to force the OT.

The Bears cap off the week with a Monday Night matchup in Dallas against the Cowboys.  Both teams are coming off wins and strong performances in week 3.  The winner of this one makes a strong statement as to their standing as a contender in the NFC.

Packers vs. Saints Week 4 Game Predictions from AllGreenBayPackers.com

GAME PREDICTIONS
Week 4: Green Bay Packers vs. New Orleans Saints
Name Record To-Date This Week’s Pick Score Prediction
Kris Burke 1-2 Green Bay Packers 35-21
Hell hath no fury like a scorned Aaron Rodgers.  The Saints currently have the worst defense in the league but don’t underestimate Drew Brees.  A fired up home crowd will also do the Packers favors
“Jersey” Al Bracco 1-2 Green Bay Packers 38-20
I can feel the fury coming. It will engulf New Orleans Saints on Sunday and send the Saints marching out as big losers. If emotion counts for anything in football, and I believe it counts for a lot, the Saints are in big trouble…
Adam Czech 2-1 Green Bay Packers 31-23
The Packers offense has to get going against the Saints, right? Combine that with all the anger and rage built up from Monday night and this should be a blowout win for the Packers, right? Unfortunately, the Saints still have Drew Brees, so this one won’t be easy. I see the Packers winning, though. God, they better win.
Marques Eversoll 1-2 Green Bay Packers 34-27
The Saints haven’t been able to stop a nose bleed this season, and the Packers have only scored 57 points through three games. Something’s gotta give. I’m pretty confident that the Packers’ offense will get on track, and the defense will keep the Saints’ offense out of the endzone just enough to get the win. I think it’ll be close, but the Packers win.

Packers vs. Broncos: 5 Observations from Green Bay’s 49-23 Romp Over Denver

Rick Wood, JSOnline

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for four touchdowns and ran two others in, as he led the undefeated Packers (4-0) to a 49-23 win over the Denver Broncos (1-3) on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field.

Here are five observations from the game:

1. He’s pretty good

It’s almost hard to put into words how well Rodgers played against the Broncos on Sunday, but let’s try our best: His 408 yards were four more than his previous career high of 404 against the Giants, which also marked the start of the Packers’ current 10-game winning streak. The six total touchdowns were a personal best. The four passing touchdowns tied a career high, and he became the first Packers’ quarterback to run for two touchdowns in a game since Brett Favre did it in 1995 against the Cowboys. He became the first quarterback in NFL history with 400 yards, four passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in one game. If a ball that went off the hands of James Jones in the fourth quarter falls to the turf, Rodgers would have finished with a passer rating of 145.5. That would have been the second-best rating in a game in his career, behind only his 155.4 showing vs. Cleveland in ’09. Still, his 134.5 rating against the Broncos was his fifth-best career rating and will bump his NFL-leading rating in 2011 to 124.6. Peyton Manning has the NFL record for passer rating in a season at 121.1. Rodgers is on pace for 56 total touchdowns (48 passing, 8 rushing) and 5,300 passing yards in 2011.

Packers vs. Broncos Week 4 Game Predictions from AllGreenBayPackers.com

GAME PREDICTIONS
Week 4: Green Bay Packers vs. Denver Broncos
Name Record To-Date This Week’s Pick Score Prediction
Kris Burke 3-0 Green Bay Packers 31-17
I don’t think it will be as big a blowout as everyone is thinking.  Green Bay scores enough despite an aggressive Broncos pass rush a Orton’s struggles continue and the cries for Tebow get louder.
, s
“Jersey” Al Bracco 3-0 Green Bay Packers 38-13
As the Packers romp, will Tim Tebow see some action on Sunday? Who knows and who cares. Packers roll to 4-0.
Adam Czech 2-1 Green Bay Packers 33-17
Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil (if he plays) will be a nice test for Clifton and (if Bulaga is out) Newhouse, but the Packers still cruise to 4-0.
Thomas Hobbes 3-0 Green Bay Packers 27-16
I don’t really suspect much resistance from the Broncos and if the Packers gain a early double digit lead, I can see them slowing down the game and start playing the clock.  The score ends up closer than the game.
Zach Kruse 1-2 Green Bay Packers 27-10
The Packers could have some problems with the Broncos pass rush, especially with Elvis Dumervil likely to play Sunday. They haven’t faced a combination of rushers like Dumervil and Von Miller yet this season, and they’ll be missing RT Bryan Bulaga. It’s hard to see the Broncos’ slow, plodding offense scoring enough to keep this game close, however.
