Super Bowl Or Bust

That is the battle cry of this years Packer squad. Every team goes into the season thinking Super Bowl with only a handful having a legitimate chance at achieving their goal. The Packers are one of those teams. Green Bay has everything they need to make a run and it should all come down to health. I particularly like the idea of having two tight ends as red zone threats. Jared Cook and Richard Rogers along with Jordy and Cobb give Aaron alot of choices near the goal line. The secondary looks like a strength. If they answer the questions at linebacker (and it appears rookie Blake Martinez will be able to contribute right away) I don't see why this team (repeat after me…if they stay healthy) can't be playing late in January. Does any game on the schedule not look winnable? The schedule maker did them no favors. Two road games to start and the early bye in week 4. Even playing three straight road games twice!? And finishing the season with 3 division road games? Still, I will be shocked if they lose more than 2 …and even saying that…I'm hard pressed to say which two that would be. Packer fans should have a lot of fun this season.

The Big Ten started with a couple of wins last night…Minnesota topped Oregon State 30-23 and Indiana beat Florida International 34-13. Tonight Michigan State hosts Furman. The Badgers, of course, play LSU Saturday at Lambeau. Can the Badger D slow down the Tigers enough to pull the upset? Can the O score enough? Should be an intriguing matchup!

The Pointer football team begins play on Saturday as well traveling to De Pere to play St. Norbert.

I'll be in the booth at Thom Field tonight for a high school football matchup between Appleton West and Wausau East. It will be the 2nd game of our doubleheader on Foxsports Radio AM1390 & FM 93.9 after the Wausau West at DC Everest game.
