Since the coach gave his two cents about his local team, I'll give you a few about my hometown Packers.
1. Isn't Tampa starting the rookie QB from K-State Freeman in this game? Sorry, but I like Woodson/Al Harris against the rook in this spot.
2. Yes, the Packers have issues on the O-line. But I would argue the Bucs don't have anyone near the likes of the Vikes Jared Allen as a pass rusher. Plus, the Pack is set to get Clifton back at LT, Spitz back at C, and possibly the old-boy Tauscher back at RT. No more rookies (Lang) or 2nd-stringers (Wells) perfecting lookout blocks. So take that for what its worth.
I'm not saying I'd lay the heavy wood on the Pack (as a policy I NEVER bet on my favorite team, too biased to keep it in perspective). All I'm saying is don't look at the two turds they laid at the hands of Brent Favre as the basis of your decision.
Good Luck though!
