The Packers are no slouch. Last year they were young and talented and they went 13-3 and made it to the NFC championship. This year they're young and talented and they've gone 2-0. Obviously, the biggest change there is that Bret Favre has been exchanged for Aaron Rodgers, but in his first two games of the year Rodgers has looked great. He's got the 2nd highest passer rating in the NFL. Granted, his wins came against the unimpressive 0-2 Vikings and the even less impressive 0-2 Lions. Still, the Pack is looking like a formidable foe. The game on Sunday night takes place on prime-time television, where the 'Boys tend to excel, but it also takes place on the (probably not-so)frozen tundra of Lambeau Field, where the 'Boys tend not to excel. I originally thought that the first two weeks would be the really tough ones for Dallas, but Week 3 in Green Bay will be a major test as well. Green Bay doesn't play the Giants or the Eagles this year (the other two best NFC teams), so a win against Dallas this weekend could put them in a pretty good spot for the playoffs, even though it's still just the third week of the season.
Getcha popcorn ready.
