We’ve heard all of the stories about Brett Favre and how “you never bet against Brett Favre” and “Brett Favre is Jesus dressed in Green and Yellow”, etc. That’s fine. We’re taking the Packers, but in spite of Brett Favre. Brett’s dad can’t die the weekend before Monday night football every year so we’re not expecting a four touchdown performance. We are expecting a healthy dose of sweaty-ass Ahman Green barrelling through an injured Carolina defense. We’re sure there will be moments with Favre chucking the ball into triple-coverage and getting intercepted by an active Carolina secondary(Ricky Manning, Jr. may have more receptions than Donald Driver), but we also think the Pack have enough sense to shut down Stephen Davis and double-team Steve Smith as much as possible. Packers might not win this one, but we’ll take +8 with a smile and back rub and call it a day.
PICK!: GB +8
