[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 982737, member: 10086"] This next part is purely opinion. I see the Vikings in slight regression and the Packers and Lions on a slight incline going down the stretch. I said over a month ago the Lions and Washington would cause problems. The Lions current .601 SOS (schedule) in the 2022 season is the toughest schedule in the NFL. To put their 2022 opponent’s strength into perspective? No team in over 20 seasons have had a tougher SOS than the 2022 Lions. GB is an honorable mention at a very difficult .565 level SOS (but more expected for a team off a 13 Win season). That good enough for #2 most difficult schedule this season behind Detroit. There’s also arguably a very notable disadvantage concerning the Vikings and Detroit. They are 2 Dome teams and coming to Lambeau in January, which is not exactly an advantage for them. These conditions are where success in the shorter game becomes increasingly a key factor. The Packers RB combo along with the speed in Jet sweeps and motion plays all pose serious problems the colder and slicker it gets. GB goes into these contests as the only OL in the top 5 in the North AND the only NFC North team in the top 10 in yards per carry (4.9) On the flip side, The Lions have an adequate Rushing attack (#15 yds/carry) and we can’t seem to defend the Run consistently. Although it’s my belief that we will almost be forced to play Run more Defensively. Unless Barry wants to be sent packing before seasons end, He’d best lose these 6 man boxes and 3 man rushes that have crippled us. [/QUOTE]
