How Green Bay plays this week determines whether my vote stays with them past Sunday or goes to NO.

In all seriousness I do like the Patriots chances. I'm not just picking them as a jinx, but I would like to see them lose.

In SF I believe NO can lose. They are not the same team on the road and especially outside.

@ GB - lose a track meet
@ Jax - 23-10 over a bad team
@ Car - 30-27 over a bad team
@ TB - Lose to a bad team
@ StL - Lose to a bad team
@ Atl - 26-23 in a dome
@TN - 22-17 - decent team that should have been outclassed
@ MN - 42-20 - bad team in a dome

I would be shocked in they can win @SF & @GB

Sticking with my "Packers repeat and then not make it for another 29 years" for now.

Was a great game to watch, just kind of sat there speechless for a few minutes after the walk-off.

But I've been picking GB in this poll since the pre-season - no homer. The AFC representative is going to be either my most hated team or 2nd most hated team.
