The Packers rose up last night and served notice to the rest of the NFL that they intend to return to the playoffs this season.  Aaron Rodgers was very solid last night completing 26 of 40 passes for 263 yards with 3 TD passes and 2 INTs.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 30 yards (7.5 ypc) last night.  Ryan Grant had a rough time last night with 41 yards rushing on 18 carries (2.3 ypc).  Ahman Green helped out on the ground late in the game with 5 carries for 23 yards (4.6 ypc).  TE Jermichael Finley had a huge game for the Packers last night with 7 grabs for 79 yards (11.3 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Greg Jennings pitched in with 6 grabs for 77 yards (12.8 avg) last night.  The Packers finished up with 350 total yards on offense in this game (94 rushing, 256 passing).

The defense was outstanding last night for the Packers as it kept suffocating the Ravens’ offense.  LBs A.J. Hawk (7 tackles, pass defensed, interception) and Clay Matthews (6 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, pass defensed, 2 sacks and 3 QB hits) led the way for the Packers last night.  CB Tramon Williams (5 tackles, 3 passes defensed, interception) and S Nick Collins (1 tackle, fumble recovery and a interception) also had huge games for the Packers last night.  The Ravens finished up with 185 total yards in this game (66 rushing, 119 passing).  The Packers are now 8-4 on the year.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Green Bay Packers

A lot of “experts” are picking the Ravens to win this game but I am not one of them.  The Packers are a very underrated team that is better than the Ravens on both sides of the football and it will show on the scoreboard Monday Night.  The Ravens would probably like to run the ball a lot on Monday Night but it won’t be easy as the Packers are only allowing 89.1 yards rushing per game and 3.6 ypc.  That means that Ray Rice and Willis McGahee will have to earn every yard they get on the ground.  Joe Flacco has padded his stats this season with short throws to his backs but the Packers have the linebackers to match up with them.  Flacco will have to be very careful when throwing the ball down the field as Derrick Mason will likely be shadowed by Charles Woodson who already has 7 interceptions this year.

The Packers probably won’t have a lot of success on the ground against a Ravens’ D that is only allowing 97.6 yards rushing per game and 3.5 yards per carry this season.  But, if Aaron Rodgers has the time to throw the ball he will likely have a field day against a Ravens’ D that is allowing 211.3 yards passing per game.  Rodgers has been sacked 44 times this season but the Packers will likely have the WRs and TEs run shorter patterns to protect him.

PREDICTION:  PACKERS 24, RAVENS 16
