Mike: Let's make some predictions on what could be a snowy night. I'm going to make two -- one for if Aaron Rodgers plays, one for if he doesn't. The Packers need this game to keep their playoff hopes in a good place and I expect them to play much better than they did in Detroit. If Rodgers plays, I could see the Packers winning a close game late as I envision him having success against a pass defense without Devin McCourty. I'd go Packers 30, Patriots 27. If Rodgers doesn't play, I like the Patriots 31-14.
Tedy: OK, Reiss, I guess I will do the same, but my result is the same no matter who plays at quarterback. The Packers are beat up. You could field a pretty good team with their players that are on IR. I don't see this Patriots momentum slowing down. This is the most dialed-in I've seen Brady since '07. No Rodgers, Patriots 28-7. With Rodgers, Patriots 31-24
