| 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 |
| Which Packers team will show up, the one that went to Houston or the one that went to Indianapolis? Probably neither, I doubt they will be as abysmal as they were against the Colts or as dominant as they were against the Texans. I think the Packers are going in the right direction, but it will probably take a game or two before things start clicking on a consistent rate. Overall, I think the general flow of the game will be the Packers score touchdowns while the Rams score field goals. As long as the Packers defense doesn’t give up yards and points in bunches and the offensive line doesn’t give up sacks in bunches the Packers should win this one. | |||
| Jason Perone | 1-5 | Green Bay Packers | 27-17 |
| It’s time to get my 2nd correct pick and this is just the week to do it. The Pack will get it done with defense and I predict a score on that side of the ball. They’re due and the pass rush should have some success. Aaron Rodgers manages this one well and the St. Louis secondary can’t cover everyone. It’s not the “laser light show” but we can’t forget that the Rams are a Jeff Fisher-coached team now. They’re no slouches and are at home. Good win to end this road trip at 2-1. | |||
| Chad Toporski | 2-4 | Green Bay Packers | 24-9 |
| Despite the performance from last week, the Packers are going to struggle a little bit offensively. The Rams can get some good pressure with their defensive ends, and Cortland Finnegan is no slouch of a CB. Nevertheless, the Packers defense will put some points on the board and keep Greg Zuerlein kicking long field goals. | |||

Wait Al, I thought you had to pick against the Packers every week in order for them to win
I didn’t say every week – it was just a one-time deal to get them on the right track – mission accomplished!!!
Sterling Sharpe is the one that has to pick against them. At least so he says.
Chad, isn’t 24-9 the score we beat them by to start our run in ’96?
Maybe Doug Evans gets a pick-six!
Should be a win if the Packers who went to Houston show up.
