Well, although I am back on the winning side of things, this week still left a bad taste in my mouth. I would be embarrassed to be a Giant or Jaguar fan right now…

But let’s get down to business…

Green Bay (4-6, 3-2 away)
at
Seattle (6-4, 4-1 home)

Storylines abound…Despite his injury last week, Favre returns to start his 252nd consecutive game and continue his pursuit of Dan Marino’s all-time touchdown record. The mentor (Favre) faces the student (Matt Hasselbeck) who is returning from a knee injury that has sidelined him for the past month. Last year’s MVP (Shaun Alexander) is ready to play his first full game since his return from a foot injury that has sidelined him for most of the year. What it really boils down to is this: the Packers’ running backs and offensive line are banged up. Favre will have to carry the Packers in order to win this game, and, as he is hobbled by a couple of bad ankles and a strained muscle, that is quite a tall order. I don’t think that he will be up to the task in hostile territory, facing the defending NFC champs who are finally back at full-strength.

My Pick: Seahawks seize control of the NFC West
