So because the Pack lost one game in sub-zero temperature this season there screwed? Lets just look over the game where it was snowing and they came back from 14 points to win while we're at it.

No, but it also means because of the weather, this is not like some sort of garuntee or even a huge advantage.

Yes it is. Apparently the Packers are 43-5 at home when the temp is 34 or below. Sure, there are obviously aberrations (five losses), but the overwhelming advantage is to the Pack in that situation. This is not like it's just coincidence. It's 48 games. And they have won 90 percent of them.

That is the definition of an advantage. A guarantee? No, but it is certainly in the Packers' favor.

People don't seem to take into consideration the fact that the Bears absolutely OWNED Green Bay this season.

I get to watch this game. I'm so happy, originally I had to work, but my manager asked me to not come in since I wasn't needed. I was kinda sad because I was gonna miss the games. I get to see the Pats vs. Chargers game too.

You're right. Why even watch the game? I'm putting up my car on the Packers winning, since it's they are a momumental favorite in the cold. :thumbsup:

That is true but look what my bears did to em in supposedly Green Bay's kind of weather. GB got absolutely dominated. Don't be suprised if the Giants roll.

Ok, I feel I must express my opinion here. I am in between with this. Does the cold favor the Packers? Not really, Lambeau favors them more with the crowd being excited and being home. The Packers are the better team, don't let your biases blind you. Would I be surprised if the Giants win? No, however I would be surprised if they blow out the Packers. The Giants are hot, and really good on the road. But I see the Packers barely winning, 34-31.

Where did I say it's a lock? I didn't. But there is an obvious trend here. If you don't want to see it, that's fine, that's your business.

As for the Chicago game, the Bears just owned the Packers this year, just like the Pack owned the Bears last year when Chi-town went to the Super Bowl. These division games are completely different. Even the Lions step up against division teams. Same with every other division.

Anyway, the point is that this is not like it's just some guess that Green Bay should be favored here. And I responded to his claim that there was nothing indicating that cold weather favors the Packers.

We're so close, but so far away. This week has gone by so slow and today is creeping by.

It's currently -1 in Green Bay but it feels like -21.
