Benster and D Pick Your Games-----Get That Bye/D Forgets to Post Edition

 Old dude, the Packers need to get one more win to get that vital bye and the top seed. But it is fitting that the last hurdle is going to be the most difficult one in Chicago. Best of luck to you in fantasy this week. Hopefully you get that title. 

I hope so, too. I was engrossed in it that I forget to post this, and now the games are already in progress. 

You're just senile. Don't worry about it.

That's reassuring.

I'm here for you, Geritol Fan! Meanwhile, the Vikings have some important decisions to make about who will be around next season.

This guy is waiting to make decisions:

Thank you for coming, everybody!

Ziggy is Waluigi. No doubt in my mind. Meanwhile, I am feeling the HYYYYYYYPPPPEEEEE!, and it is time to watch me work.

Minnesota Vikings (-7) vs. Detroit LOLions So, some say that Alvin Kamara is still scoring touchdowns against the Vikings defense at the Dome to this very day. This game matters only if you root for one of these teams or if you are playing for a fantasy football title and have someone going. The Vikings have some decisions to make after this year, which quite frankly was not successful. The Purple have little cap room, especially since the cap won't go up much if at all due to a certain virus. The LOLions are probably moving on from Stafford, which is a shame. The guy deserved better from management. Then again, these are the LOLions. I think the Vikings will win, and then maybe we might see some people get fired. Vikings 35, LOLions Gonna LOLions 0.

So the game is already in progress, but I'm not watching it. I am picking the Lions just to be a contrarian. Lions 24, Vikings 20.

Glorious Green Bay Packers (-4.5) vs. Bear Down Chicago Da Bearz Still Suck This game on the other hand matters a lot to both teams. If the Packers win, we get the bye and a week off. If Da Bearz win, they get a trip to the playoffs and might save some jobs. This game is winnable for the Packers, but there are some concerns. Da Bearz are healthier than they were around Thanksgiving, and Trubisky has been looking better recently. But the Packers also have looked a lot better since Thanksgiving. The game against the Titans was their best performance under LaFleur, and the Packers especially looked very good against Derrick Henry. I've been very critical of Mike Pettine and his scheme, but he had the defense prepared. This game will be difficult because of the nature of the rivalry and the stakes, but the Packers should win and get the bye. Packers 31, Da Bearz Still Suck 20.

It won't be easy. But it will be a win. Packers 28, Bears 20.

Enjoy your football this weekend, and we'll also talk about the Buckeyes and Tide next weekend. Ben out.
