I'm starting early this week. Can't wait for kickoff, and I haven't even left work, yet.

Pack is favored by 4.5. Who are you picking?

Since there's time, could you explain the point spread stuff. I never understood how it worked exactly. What exactly does 4.5 mean?

I'm a Packers fan but I'm down by 14 in my fantasy league with McNabb at QB...

it means that the packers are favored to win by 4.5 points.
so if you take the eagles and the points in a bet ,then the packers have to win by more than 4.5 points for you to loose the bet. so in essance you could bet on the eagles and get the points, and the packers could win the game by 3 points and you would still win the bet.

that help?

I would take the Eagles and the points. I think the game will come down to a FG. However I have sucked it up the last two weeks (although almost everybody has) so just bet against me and pick GB, you are sure to win.

I think the Packers should win (+4.5) This is a HUGE game for them to get back into the playoff hunt (and with Minnesota faultering). The MNF games I have seen have typically been blowout so I think if I had to pick a team that can score a lot of points to blowout the other team, I would pick GB. I don't think Philly has the offense.

You know, I'm an eagles fan, but it seems that recently whenever they've faced a "test," so to speak, they've fallen flat. I don't know what they'll do, but here's hoping for a win and huge performaces from Correll Buckhalter, LJ Smith, and the D (fantasy:))

I'm down by 18 points in my fantasy league with only McNabb left to start. In my league, it's 1 point for every 10 yards passing and/or rushing, and 6 points for each touchdown scored, either passing or rushing.

But other than that, I would like to see the Eagles pull this one out and go to 6-3 on the season.

10 points for every 10 yards passing (normal leagues are 10 rushing/receiving and 20-25/passing)?!? I bet the quarterbacks outscore everyone else 2 to 1! Anyway you should have no trouble getting 180 yards passing/rushing out of McNabb and any TDs should be gravy.

I'm down by a quarter of a point. I need Walker to just get 1 point more than Buckhalter. Either way, I'd like Green Bay to win this. :)

I need Ahman Green to fumble 4 times, run for -40 yards, and break his leg.

Same goes for Ryan Longwell.


I'm up by 10 w/ no players left...the other guy has them left.

This is a big game for both teams, both looking for playoff chances. Am I right in saying it's at Lambo? If so that could be nasty for the Eagles but who knows. I'm an Eagles fan so I'll have to go with them but who knows, they seem to have their really horrible games, then some pretty impressive performances.. ie McNabb's game last week. I've got Buckhalter/Staley/Akers/Eagles D in fantasy so we'll see. :)

I think the Eagles will win tonight, that said, I think both these teams are crap in to many different ways this year.

Pack has an awesome offense, but a terrible defense. Hopefully they will get their defense together and get some wins. They have what they need on offense, now let's see how their defense goes.
