Let's Learn from 2007

We know that the Packers play the Bears this Sunday.  We know that it's for a chance to play in Super Bowl 45.  We know that having to listen to Bears fan rub it in forever should the Packers fall would be unbearable.  We also know what it's like to fall short of the Super Bowl by one play when the Packers lost to the New York Giants at home in overtime.

Call me crazy, but I think that gives the Packers the slightest of advantages.  There are quite a few players on the team that experienced that bitter taste after the loss and really understand how big of a chance this is.  With that, I will predict a defensively dominated outcome with the Packers on top 17-14 when it's all said and done.  I'm still nervous as hell and that should amplify over the weekend, but if you can't pick the home team when it's all on the line are you truly a fan?

NFL - It's conference championship weekend and the official site of the NFL has plenty of story lines to keep you busy until kickoff.
