Thats might be a fine way to think if your team sucks and you get lucky but I don't think anyone thinks the Packers suck any more.  Like BrokenArrow said, at some point that house money has to become Packers money and a loss becomes a big deal.I'm sure there are a few more people giving the Packers a chance against the 49ers than there were last week against the cowboys but they are still going to be underdogs and I really don't think we will see any of the pregame hosts taking the Packers.  Does that still mean they are playing with house money or have they turned the corner and started to play with their own money.</blockquote>
