Football Predictions – November 3-4, UW, WSU, Seahawks, SNF
By Ed Stein
Green Bay at New England, Sunday Night Football
Shane – Conversely to the Seahawks game, this will be one of the best games of the season. Two quarterbacks, who carry their miserable teams, face off in what will be a heart-pounding game. The Patriots, who consist of Tom Brady, possibly Gronk, and the running back corps come to play and hit the Pack with the full fury of Bellicheck.

Green Bay comes in knowing that this is a must-win game, and by Green Bay I mean Rodgers, he fights with the full fury of all the cheese in Wisconsin. The Pats win in a shootout.
Herb Nightingale – Last week the Packers lost to Los Angeles 29-27. The Rams kicked a field goal to take the lead with little time left in the game. Aaron Rodgers might have gotten the Packers in position to win however Ty Montgomery fumbled the kickoff which the Rams recovered the ball and they ran the game out. It was such a bad decision the Packers decided to trade Montgomery to the Baltimore Ravens before the trading deadline on Tuesday.
The Patriots are again at the top of the AFC East. They beat the Buffalo Bills last week 25-6. Buffalo probably has the worst offense in the league however the Patriots still won and that is the point. The game is in New England, the Packers could use the win but I say the Patriots will win because they are, after all, the Patriots. I call it a close game 28-24.
Matt Barry – The Patriots are doing what they always do. They get better as the season goes on. I don’t think there is a team in the NFL that plays well through injuries like New England. Last week, wasn’t their best effort but they rarely play two bad games in a row.
The Packers aren’t the best road team. This is a matchup of the two best quarterbacks in the league besides Drew Brees. On Sunday night in New England, it is very difficult to beat Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. I like the Patriots in this one as they march on to another AFC East title
Ed Stein – I like New England in this one. The Pats have found their groove winning their last five games in a row by an average of 14.8 points per game. I’m not sure if they are two touchdowns better than the Packers, but they are good enough to win.
