Lambeau’s Legends (Up 2) – Finally finding some consistency, the Legends are back at first in the power rankings. The top three teams, though, all seem poised to be the big contenders for the playoffs.

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

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…

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……
Video from week 6 of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars. Lets see how Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd perform the Foxtrot:
Donald and Peta received a total score of 27, a string of nines across the board from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli. This is their third straight week with a score of 27.

I’m a little worried about a trap game here (see my preview) but there is no way such a depleted Rams secondary will be able to keep up with Aaron Rodgers and his crew. Packers romp.

Something tells me the Packers will have a bit of a letdown this week. Fortunately, they’re playing the Rams. Packers still win comfortably, but it’s not overly pretty.

The Rams are horrible, but I still think Sam Bradford is a decent QB. A few plays from Bradford and solid running from Steven Jackson will keep things from getting too far out of hand, but the Packers will still cruise to 6-0.

The Packers again face another team who should be a lot better than they are (thank you, Josh McDaniels!) With the Ram’s defense in such a disarray, as long as the Packers offense remains steady it should be a pretty quiet game at home.
