This game probably should be played in a hospital with all the injuries these two teams have sustained this year. At full strength this could have been billed as a Super Bowl preview. Despite all the missing starters both the Packers and Ravens are thick in the race for the playoffs.

At the beginning of the year and even a few weeks ago this figured to be an "L" for the Pack. I'm a little surprised they are as much of a favorite as they are. This feels like it could be like the Minnesota game. The Packers can win it. They probably should. But a few mistakes and it could be a squeaker defeat.

If it's close at the end of the 4th quarter or goes to overtime the Ravens have the best kicker in the league in Justin Tucker, he of the NFL record 66 yd. field goal earlier this year. Outdoors he won't have that kind of range but maybe he nails a 49 yarder as time expires to nip the Pack.

Baltimore is in a little more desperate situation with their playoff positioning and that makes them dangerous at home.
