Green Bay is ranked 30th against the run and they have given up 136 yards per game rushing the ball. This stat can be found here on the covers' statistics thread.
We all remember how NE ran the ball down Indy's throat on the road and blew them out. Last week NE only ran for 90 but that was against Detroit who is number one against the run.
Also, when you look at GB's schedule you see that they beat Miami on the road by 3 and two weeks ago they blew out Philadelphia at home but this team was blown out by Seattle at home and NO on the road.
NE on the other hand has beaten these teams out of their division: Denver, Indianapolis, Detroit.
My question is this: "Does this 30th ranking against the run by the GB defense and GB's lack of beating quality opponents constitute a valid basis for choosing NE on Sunday?"

If NEW ENGLAND ball controls as they should, then the UNDER 59 will hit easily. I like the UNDER 59. New England on the road will not want to get into a scoring battle. At home yes, on the road now. UNDER.

New England has too much defense and their scheme will not allow Green Bay many long pass plays, and in the NFL these days if one team runs a ton and both teams use bal control, short passes then the clock just keeps on ticking.....and the UNDER will hit. The NFL has it set up so games end at the 3 hour mark....Yes once or twice a week a game goes 3:15 or longer....but almost always they end at or before 3 hours. The NFL would rather take plays away from the game and have commercials be played to make more money. I wrote a long tirade a few months ago about this. Rule changes in the last two decades keep the clock rolling when going out of bounds on a run or a pass catch if not moving forward. 40 second clock and all th eaudibles called run the clock down even further. So the NFL changed the rules on offense and defense to compenseate for less plays so the scoring would stayt he same or be even more with far less plays run. Sad.

I agree with Vanrush and the Under. Belicheck is going to scheme to keep the ball out of Rodgers hands and will run the new two-headed beast Gray and Blount, even some end-arounds with Edelman. Mathews shift to OLB has helped but it wont be nearly enough to stop them, I also believe the Pats defense in the secondary is superior. Honestly we'll see, but the PATS with the points and the UNDER looks good!

I agree that they will still take shots down field, but your nuts if you think the this genrations best coach isnt gameplanning to keep the ball out of the hands of arguably the best qb in the game right now.

Packers are undefeated at home, lost to Seattle on the road. Their a different team since then. Also, against New Orleans, they had a lead and were in control of the game until Rodgers pulled his hammy. Something to think about.

Throw every stat out the window for this game. It's Rodgers vs Brady. Statement game for Rodgers. He has his superbowl, his league MVP, his superbowl MVP. Passed by 21 teams in the draft, had to deal with replacing a legend in Green Bay, up hill battle his entire career. One thing left to do, beat Brady and once on for all establish himself as the unquestionable number one QB in the nfl. Green bay will find a way to win this one. Rodgers will make it happen. Just my 2 cents.

How New England is getting three points here is beyond me.
Green Bay has blown out every team at Lambeau by half, they're the highest scoring team in the nfl, that's with Rodgers missing last two 2nd halves at home because of blowouts. . What do you expect the line to be?

i think you are looking at the superbowl players here, tough call at lambeau, what r u sayin days? that Pats should be fave?
Yes, I have the Pats -3 in this one ("my line"), and was fully expecting to see them open as favorites by a point or two. Like lancer said, NE has proven themselves against better quality opponents and they have shown up bigtime all four times as underdogs this season, two at home and two on the road, so this is either NE+3 or a NO PLAY for me. Also, I'm not putting too much stock in this game being played at Lambeau in that NE has enough experience and discipline to play there without getting rattled.

I hear ya, but I think that NE has proven that they can handle quality opponents and has come out like a buzzsaw in every game they were underdogs. The Pack have put up some big numbers at home against mediocre to bad teams (no fault of their own as they can only play the teams on their schedule) and haven't shown me enough to bet on them in this spot.

I think Green Bay will this time at Lambeau Field verse New England. Because Green Bay lost to them in 2009 during the regular season at New England 34-27. Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobbs, other two so call rookies will smoke New England secondary and Darrel Revis. Green Bay might cover the PointSpread but Green Bay will win a close game 31-28. Or Will go in over time.
